Welcome to the Dagorhir Realm of Middle~Earth
We are an educational historical renactment group that uses the “Dagorhir” rule set for our style of martial arts.
Dagorhir (which translates to "battle lords" in author J.R.R. Tolkien's Sindarin Elven language) is both a sport and a game that combines fast-paced, full-contact combat simulation with elements of live-action role-playing. We engage in a safe, full contact style of sparing that utilizes solid but safe equipment.
Dagorhir battle games combine elements of both history and fantasy, allowing participants a wide range of character choice.
We study historical fighting styles and the arts and crafts of the Middle Ages in a way that entertains and educates. From the western martial arts, to fiber crafts we will offer a wide range of activities.
Our ranks are open to all looking to spar, learn, and have fun. Come sign up and lurk on the Realm Bulitin Board for a time.
Our Realm reach from Racine, Wisconsin to the north Olney Illinois to the south and Chillicothe, Illinois to the west with the majority living in the Danville, Illinois area to the west. Give us a Google as we may be closer than you think.
Or drop us a line for more information.
 Sir Gheldar Blackthorn, High King of Middle~Earth Bids you welcome to his lands.

Dagorhir sparing in action (click on the image to enlarge).
Despite the apparent size and heft of the equipment it's really quite safe. Neither participant wears or needs armor according to the well established rules. _______________________________________ Guilds, Households and Units _______________________________________________________ See the world famous Black Company and our own Fergus McAskill (as seen on Wreckreation Nation!)
