Eh, fine. I guess the
quote:
Originally written by General Custer:

I also like using factory-produced, unrealistic swords with which I can pretend I'm a medieval knight and not actually a fat, obsessive geek who has failed to grow out of the 'I'm a knight in shining armour' phase...
part led me to believe you were calling Dagorhir participants fat, obsessive geeks. I don't believe there were any knights during the civil war.
Sorry for jumping on your back, there. Let's just let bygones be bygones, okay?

Anyway, as for the original topic...

Dagorhir is an organization that does Dark Ages battle reenactments. Well, they don't just reenact. They make weapons and armor and have big battles, and maybe have a feast afterwards. It's very safe, as long as you follow the rules. There's very specific guidelines as to which weapons are and aren't allowed. For instance, the "blade" of a sword cannot be less than 2 inches wide, or something like that. Here's the website:

I guess I didn't explain it too well, but the website does a good job. It also has links to pages explaining step-by-step how to make weapons, armor, etc.
I just thought some of the people here might find it interesting. It's certainly an improvement over what my cousins and I do- whacking each other with splintering fenceposts carved into the shape of a sword- so I thought it was great. I'm going to try to start my own Dagorhir chapter in Revere, since the closest one is in Northampton, on the other side of the state.

The site appears interesting and therefore requires further investigation.
