Garb Policy
What is the garb policy at Olympics for non-combatants/participants?
Attendees staying on site either or both nights of the event, participants and non-combatants, must meet Dagorhir garb standards at all times. Non-combatants day tripping to the event, (i.e., parents who wish to sit on the sidelines and watch,) are not required to wear garb, though an attempt to wear period colors or patterns is preferred as it adds to event realism. Event entry fees still apply.
I am attending the event during the day to take pictures and video, do I still have to wear garb?
Attendees using multi-media devices must wear a yellow tunic. If you are able, inscribe "photography" across tunic, as it sets your apart from the field heralds. Event entry fees still apply.
NOTE: Mittelmarch events follow Dagorhir regulations and garb policies for all participants. As part of Dagorhir garb regulations, if any member of the event staff finds your garb to be outside the realm of Dagorhir standards, you may be asked to change into attire that is more appropriate. Please see the Dagorhir MOA for more information.
Cabins
NOTE: There are (6) cabins on site with (4)bunk beds each, totaling (8) beds per cabin. There are outlets along the floorboards and an overhead light. There are windows with closeable doors. There is no running water or kitchen equipment in the cabins.
How are cabin spaces determined?
You can select a cabin space during pre-registration. Cabins are first come, first serve. If cabins remain after pre-registration closes, empty spaces are open at Troll. Gate fee is still $20 for on-site cabin reservation.
Is bedding provided in the cabins?
No. Pillows, blankets and sheets are not provided in the cabins. Each bed has a small cot on a metal (twin) frame. TIP: Although the cabins have an electrical hook up and an overhead light, flashlights are recommended in case the electrical system is down in your cabin... and your cabin mates will thank you if you avoid the overhead light when they’re sleeping.
Can we have more than 8 people sleep in a cabin?
Yes, (if you do not mind the floor,) but there are only (8) beds provided. Beds cannot be moved to and from other cabins.
Fire Pits & Cooking
Are ground fire pits allowed at the Olympics?
The main camping area near the cabins and pavilion are off limits for ground fire pits. Camping at the bottom of the hill and back in the wood allow ground fire pits. An event coordinator must approve all fire pit locations. At your fire pit location, you must dig out the top soil and returned on Sunday morning.
Can I bring my own above ground fire bowl?
Yes. Above ground fire bowls are allowed in all camping areas, as well as charcoal and propane grills. Fire rings or any other open flame placed directly on the ground is not permitted in restricted areas.
How can I cook my food? What food should I bring?
Olympics staff recommends you pack foods that do not require more than an open flame to cook. The pavilion fire is open for cooking but be advised that it isn't a cooking fire, so your soup or Stir-fry ensemble might be difficult. Try light foods in a cooler that won't spoil to avoid cooking... like fruit, protein bars or granola.
