Seen Tuesday nights @ 10 pm, the January 20 episode showed host Dave Modal getting his war on at the annual fall Dagorhir campout

But as great as watching Dagorhir is, its WAY more fun to play! Get out to a local practice by checking our practice schedule here:

Welcome to the High Spires! posted 4-5-2007

Welcome, warriors, to The High Spires.  The High Spires is an official Dagorhir chapter, and we focus our efforts on helping veteran and new Dagorhir members experience the thrill of safe, padded, medieval-style Dagorhir combat!  The High Spires is filled with skilled and friendly folk who are ready to get you to experience the glory of Dagorhir combat.  Practices are held almost every week, and the High Spires also hosts a number of events throughout the year.
 
Nationally, The High Spires is probably best known for hosting The Ides of March -- an annual weekend Dagorhir campout held during the (obviously) Ides of March.  Because The High Spires resides in a warmer climate than many other Dagorhir chapters, the Ides of March has become a rite of spring for many Dagorhir fighters throughout the nation who are aching to cast off the winter and run (screaming with a maniacal battle cry) into the prime Dagorhir season!
 
Interested in Joining a Battle?
Fighting practices are generally held twice a week (Fridays and Sundays) in Atlanta.  Practices are occasionally cancelled (weather or due to people traveling to an out-of-state event), so please contact us ahead of time to ensure practice times/locations.

New to Dagorhir?
If you are just getting into Dagorhir, be ready for a great time!  Although you will be expected to eventually have your own gear (shield, sword, etc.) and garb (our medieval "uniforms"), we have plenty of loaner gear for your first few battles.  Just bring athletic clothes (that you can get dirty) and some water.
