Dominion of the Unconquered Sun - KCMO Dagorhir
Grandview, MO
Every Sunday at 2pm at The View in Grandview, MO.
Come by to Watch or Participate!
Medieval combat with foam replica weapons! We wear garb, we shoot arrows, we build weapons, we die, resurrect, and fight some more! All year round - every Sunday (Unless it's a holiday, of course!)
This is similar to the practice of German Longsword and other types of sword combat. The type of brotherhood/sisterhood is forever long and we are a group of really nice people. Types of battles include versions of capture the flag, steal the bacon, Black Knight battles, Goblin Football, etc.
Dominion of the Unconquered Sun is located in Grandview, MO. If you have any questions at all please ask and we are happy to have you join.

LARPING? NOT QUITE...: This is a sport! Go figure! Even if you watch, we promise you will get a kick out of it. Some people like to refer to it as LARPing however we disagree. The rules are simple. Get hit in the arm, lose the arm. Get hit in the back, you die. Never fear! In most gameplay you can resurrect and continue fighting. There are mostly no spells or magic - this is all combat. The closest we come to LARPing is taking on a persona or Dagorhir name. This is fun for us because we can relate to our inner geek. Some are Goblins, Romans, Night's Watchmen, Fairies, Elves, Human's in awesome armor... You can literally be whatever you want to be as your non-com person. In combat, however, the rules apply the same for everyone.
NEWBIES: Think you'll stink? Most likely. But we mean this in two ways. The first is - this is a fun work out! If you're not sweating, you're not doing it right. Secondly, newbies are always welcome! We help teach and train so that you can become a skilled fighter. Once you start, don't be surprised if you find yourself at some upcoming events (from 200 people to Ragnarok's 2k people). At those events there is camping, drinking, family fun, merchants (Blacksmiths, carpenters, hand made leather items, hand made garb, etc!)
SAFETY: All swords, shields, arrows, etc are made under code and are inspected before battle. Weapons that do not pass the safety test cannot be used on the field. There are loaner weapons for new people and we have classes to teach you how to build your own. We have armor rules as well! Leather armor can be worn if made to code as well as chain mail. Helmets can be worn but are not exactly needed due to the "No Head-shot's" rule (unless you are throwing Javelin's, Rock's {padded}, or shooting Arrows {also padded}...) Heck, pretty much everything is padded and inspected for safety.
NON COMS: Fighting not your thing? We need heralds. You get to wear a nice bright fancy yellow tabbard and exist among the fighters but do not get hit! You call false shots, run battles, and essentially are the referee for bad sportsmanship. Baroness Lady Nessa is a non-com, and she loves being an administrator, battle creator, and executor.
YOUR NEW HOME: Many call this home. Midwest Dagorhir (Specifically Dominion) has been around since the early 2000's! We don't plan on going anywhere any time soon!
So, if you want to get your geek on and find an amazing group of people who simply want to fight with foam swords in a team sport - this is your group.
