Belegarth

Belegarth Profile and History

Belegarth is a world-wide organization with groups in many countries. Our membership is eclectic with students, professionals, and families actively participating. We share an interest in medieval combat, medieval arts and sciences, and, to some extent, live-action role-playing. What do we do? First, we make medieval or ancient weapons from safe materials so that we can hit each other full force w ith a minimum amount of pain. This isn't fencing or tap fighting. Examples of equipment are swords, maces, flails, and two-handed weapons. We also have missile weapons such as rocks, javelins, and arrows. Then, we make costumes that represent the age we are trying to recapture. These range from tunics, tabards, sashes, and cloaks to boots, armor, and other more complicated articles.
