Dagorhir Fields - Recent Discovery (Date - 12/26/2014)

     Hello everyone within the Cu Sith Pack! As of recently I have discovered a fine field just along Mulberry Grove in Fortson, Georgia! It's a huge plot of land about 15 or less minutes outside of the Columbus area (depending on if you're using the I-185 route or the Williams Rd. Atlanta exit).

     Now be aware, please, that I have no information of who owns this land nor if it is for sale, as I have not seen a sign around this vicinity. But I have plans to have the information and possibly permission to practice on the property and maybe have it used for Dagorhir events.

Check it out people!

 The Left Field #1

           The Left Field #2 with Pond

 

 

                                                     The Left Field #3 (The Grove)

The Battlefield (The Right Field)









     Now I haven't worked out a full map of the location on paper yet, given with the needed information, but I would safely suggest that participants park their cars close to their camping "territories". Everyone will be expected to park their vehicles WITH their unit groups as possible, and if vehicular length become open issues, I would like to expect units to work cohesively to establish proper diameters of the camp territory for unit's addressed problem.

     In addition to the discovery of the field, this unestablished "realm" shall be titled The Autumn Sun Retreat unless further decided. Deeper details concerning its fate with the Cu Sith and the other realm of Columbus, New Dawn, will be posted sometime early spring. Happy holidays, and happy new year everyone!

 

Welcome to the Den!

Hello Readers! Welcome to the Den of the Cu Sith!

For a first I want to thank you, the reader, for taking a moment to check out the blog and seeing what this page is about. The Cu Sith is a Dagorhir group in the Southern states (Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas) who come together for weekend events and who enjoy camping and fighting with foam swords and shields.

Secondly, you're probably wondering what the heck Dagorhir is, and why all the foam weapons. Is it something like a Live Action Role Play (LARP)? In some ways yes and in other ways no. But if you have a deep fascination with movies like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Kingdom of Heaven, the Lord of the Rings trilogy (or as of recently The Hobbit trilogy), or any of the television series like Game of Thrones or Vikings, and if you really want to experience the thrill of battle, this is what you need to know about what Dagorhir is.

First, Dagorhir is a sporting event that is usually concentrated by fighters to demonstrate close combat skills using foam weapons, such as swords, shields, spears, glaives, bows and arrows, and even "rocks" (no, not the stone stuff you see around your environment. Using those can cause very severe damage. Please refrain from using in practices and in events! - A.N.). The weapons are classified depending on the rules and regulations of Dagorhir combat.

Dagorhir can be created if you can gather enough people who have the same interests as you and who have the heart (and half a mind) to put themselves into combative situations. You may be able to find local Dagorhir groups, called "Units" within your area. If the Dagorhir group you look for have a specific location that they practice at, they call that area "The Realm". Usually they have a way to tell the difference between identifying their unit and their realm by wearing belt flags or, in other circumstances, by the designs on their shields.

Dagorhir fighters like to give themselves aliases to separate who they are in the Dag Realm from who they are as everyday individuals. For example, I go by the alias Anaiyu the Frozen because of who my "persona" is: a white, winged Cu Sith.
