Dagorhir combines fast-paced full-contact combat simulation with elements of live action role-playing. Combat in group melees or between individuals is similar to the battle scenes in movies like Braveheart and Gladiator, with the biggest difference being that Dagorhir “weapons” are well padded to prevent injuries. Dagorhir weapons are constructed to resemble Dark Age/medieval swords, shields, spears, etc. and generally consist of soft foam layers bonded to a rigid core. Combatants may also become involved in grappling/wrestling. Dagorhir rules of combat are strictly enforced by the Heralds (referees) to ensure maximum safety along with maximum playability. As with any outdoor, intense contact sport, the possibility for injury exists. The types and likelihood of injury are similar to those in soccer, rugby and lacrosse and, as in those sports, severe injuries can occur.

In consideration of receiving permission from DAGORHIR BATTLE GAMES ASSOCIATION INC. (Dagorhir) to participate in any Dagorhir-sponsored activity, event, tournament, contest or meeting, the undersigned assumes full responsibility for any bodily injury and/or property damage arising out of or related to my attendance and/or participation.

I hereby agree that if at any time I feel any Dagorhir activity/event to be unsafe or if I observe unsafe behavior on the part of other participants/observers, I will immediately notify the appropriate Dagorhir officials and/or refuse to participate in or observe any further activities/events. The undersigned is aware of the risks and hazards inherent in participating in any activity, event, tournament, contest or meeting of Dagorhir and elects voluntarily to participate, knowing that participation involves significant physical contact by others to his person and that such participation may entail a risk of injury.
