ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We, the Empire of the Wolf, take pride in our event, both in how it is run and how it looks. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the Dagorhir MOA garb rule set, and have a few additional house rules of our own.
1). We require all attendees, combatants or not, to wear at least Dagorhir minimum garb at our event, better and exceptional garb is strongly encouraged.
2). All safety equipment & logos MUST be concealed in some way, this includes knee pads, braces, sunglasses, modern/MMA gloves w/ logos, etc.
3). This is a winter event, we fight outside in the snow, DRESS IN APPROPRIATE GARB & LAYERS. We will not make concessions for obvious modern/mundane winter clothing, it can be easily concealed by/under your garb. This includes modern/mundane coats, underarmor, modern/mundane hats, or anything else that may bear a modern/mundane logo. Hoods from hoodies/sweatshirts may be visible on top of your garb, provided it bears no modern/mundane logos/prints.
4). We reserve the right to ask you to leave the event at any time, without a refund, if you fail to comply with these basic rules. NO GARB = NO FIGHTING OR FOOD.

I'm very happy to say that this will be my glorious return to Dagorhir. I'm an Aratari old-timer since Yon Early Days, but just moved out here, so I'm really looking forward to Norsing out with you all. See you there!

Hello everyone! I've been talked into going to Yule this year. I have a minivan and was wanting to know if anyone wanted to carpool. I'm in Indianapolis and have 1 passenger already. Looking to split gas there and back. Can hold between 2 and 4 more depending on gear. I'm just going as a merchant this year so I'll only have a couple boxes of chainmaille and no equip. Message me here if you're interested.

It's ridiculous how much I'm looking forward to this. I've been away for far too long, and am looking forward to meeting new people. My living room is full of weapons, freshly dug out of storage; I bought a new shield for the fighting, and a new knife and pewter dinner plate for the feasting; and the Mongolian present is on its way.
All I have to do is double-check my mail, re-cover my javelin, fix my buckler strap, and find my pants.
