Getting Started

All combatants must have a signed waiver before fighting.

If you want to fight with us, just show up to a practice! We'll step you through the basic rules and loan you equipment until you can get your own. Belegarth is quick and easy to learn; you should be out fighting within half an hour of starting.

However, if you'd like to have a more in-depth look at the game before you start, this section will let you preview most aspects of Belegarth. It may give you an idea of what weapons you'd like to use or clothes you'd like to wear. If there's something you think belongs here or you have other questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Don't forget, there's no better way to learn than making it out to the field!

Rules

For all official Belegarth rules, please refer to the Book of War.

Numenor follows these additional rules on their field:

  • Rocks are banned from the field
  • Missiles are not reuseable
  • Only one-handed swords and shields can be used by anyone without garb.
  • Heater shields are reserved for Knights. Any shield that does not conform to certain standards has to have the approval of the Knight’s Council before it will be allowed. This does not hold if you are only visiting.
