Units
Units in Belegarth are groups of fighters who have decided to band together often both in and out of combat. There are many smaller local units (such as Valdemar, which is only found in Numenor) as many large national units (i.e. Clan of the Hydra.) Typically, each unit has its own set of rules for initiation, styles of fighting, garb requirements, and group values. They also provide a place to camp during national events.
Although there is no requirement to join or stick with a unit, most fighters choose to do so at some point. If you're looking for a unit that fits you, take your time and get out to a national event before making your decision. Chances are you'll be able to find some fighters who you feel fit best with you.
Units currently active in Numenor
Brotherhood of the FalconLong ago, in the lands of Dur-Demarion, a unit was created out of the best and brightest of the realm. They called themselves the Brotherhood of the Falcon. Over the years, the Brotherhood grew to encompass much of the realm and a decision was made to split the unit into three smaller factions.
Clan of the HydraClan of the Hydra can be summed up in one word: humble (at least according to Big Jimmy). We're not the type of unit to wander obscenely drunk from camp to camp causing problems. We help each other, we help out events, we can hang out with each other socially. We earn respect through virtue.
Dark AngelsThe Dark Angels are a family of ascended individuals, leaderless and limitless. Members are not inducted, they are born Dark Angels.
Dark GuardThe Dark Guard is an elite force of experienced fighters specializing in skirmish tactics. The unit was formed by Sir Argoth, Klawz, and Sir Thorin in 2004 and is based in the realm of Numenor. While best operating as a detachment of skirmishers, its members can fit into any role on a battlefield with devastating results.
DunedainThis Dunedain's focus is service to the realm; training new fighters and giving all Numenoreans a place to call home. As faithful members to Numenor they chose the name Dunedain after the "faithful" Numenoreans in Tolkien's books, who chose not to follow Sauron.
Elite BloodfalconsThe EBF is a part of the larger unit known as the Triad, along with Brotherhood of the Falcon and Dark Angels combining the units into the Triad brings together the most talented fighters and party animals in the sport of foam fighting under one name.
House ValdemarThe purpose of House Valdemar is to form a solid field formation for Numenor. We're happy to be the Anvil that opposing Realms can be broken upon. At this time we have 27 members in the unit, and growing.
Knights of NumenorThe Knights of Numenor are the oldest order of knights in Belegarth, based in the realm of Numenor, located in Champaign, IL. To become a member of this unit, you must first be squired.
Rogue Company
Rogue Company seeks, through development of new technology and tactics, to continually redefine itself as the most effective combat unit in foam fighting. Rogue Company seeks out talent, raw and refined and then equips them with the skills and lessons needed to be the greatest foam fighters. We are in a rebuilding phase and continue to recruit like minded people.
