Lady Manners Guide to Dagorhir Etiquette

***Merchanting is allowed only within Merchants Row by registered Ragnarok

XXX merchants. There is absolutely NO MERCHANTING from camps!***

AKA The Newbies Guide to Ragnarok

Merchants Row
(A1-9/A15-16)

Greetings to newbies and veterans alike and welcome to Ragnarok XXX! If this is your first Rag,
then you are in for a week of unparalleled fun and excitement, and a plethora of new experiences.
As any Ragnarok veteran will tell you, youll never look at your home practices the same way
again. But in the midst of this end-of-the-world craziness, there are simple rules and etiquette that
go along with Ragnarok. Wed like to take a moment and share those with you. So, in no
particular order . . .

First and foremost, remember were all here to have a good time. Whether that comes in the
form of some of the largest melees in Dagorhir or sharing stories with friends, its all about
having fun.

That being said, ALWAYS exercise common sense. If it seems like a bad idea, it probably
is. If alcohol is involved and it seems like a good idea, its definitely a bad idea.

If you dont know, ASK! Find a veteran or a member of the event staff and they will either
answer your question or find someone who can. It is not better to ask for forgiveness than
permission. It is far better to look like the newb you are than the newb with the bad
reputation because you did something stupid.

Always hail camps before entering. This means stopping at the edge or gate of a camp and
yelling, Hail camp! When someone responds in kind (Hail!) or just invites you in, you
can enter. Its a courtesy we extend to one another, and shows respect for the camp you wish
to enter.

On the field, the word of the Heralds is law. Heralds wear yellow tabards and/or sashes.

Heralds are primarily responsible for the safety of participants and keeping order during
events. Heralds may call shots. If a Herald calls you dead, you are dead. Do not argue with
the Heralds. Please volunteer to her ald, so ever ybody has a chance to fight and help
out.

1.

Barbarian Trading Post

The annual trading madhouse tradition. See rules Page 26

When Heralds address the participants, please listen silently. If you do not, you and your
teammates may miss valuable information about scenarios.

2.

Bored Housewife
Garb and accessories

3.

Twisted Unicorn/ Lady Feri

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. Allergen-free meals available upon request
Consignor: Forged Foam: Foam weapons and shields

Never argue during combat; youll just end up dead. Discuss issues when the fighting is
over. Talk to a Herald afterwards, if necessary.

Worry about your own honor, no one elses. You cant control what others do, only yourself.

4.

The Gothic Edge

Medieval and fantasy weaponry, jewelry, home dcor

Speaking of honor, the term rhino-hiding is a euphemism for cheating! Refusal to

acknowledge blows is cheating. Cheaters ruin the fun for everyone. If you cheat, you will
have the opportunity to watch from the side lines.

5.

Valhallas Anvil
Jewelry, leather goods, miscellaneous crafts
Consignor: Todd Buck: Metal working

Someone in a Heralds tabard with a camera is a photographer. They produce the epic
pictures you can use later to show off to your friends/make them jealous they were not at
Rag. Be careful and respectful of them and their equipment.

6.

Red Falcon
Leather goods, armor, accessories

7.

The Knights Almoner

Feast gear, Ragnarok T-shirts

For new photographers: remember, you are there to take pictures. Unless you see an actually
dangerous situation occurring, do not interfere with combat, even if your friend is about to
get back-stabbed. You may cost yourself an epic picture and them a lesson in battle field
awareness.

8.

A Case of Random
Jewelry, Belly dance accessories
Consignor: Merchants Wares: Weapons, garb, supplies, home dcor, miscellaneous
accessories and novelties

When you die, fall to the ground and lay your equipment down or place it on your head to
indicate you are dead. Dont crouch or kneel!

25

Try to stay hydrated! Drink extra water throughout the day. Prehydrate before you dehydrate.
Volunteer water heralds, the Cult of Hydration, are present at most field battles. Their time
and resources are donated, be respectful to them and to their equipment. Return any water
bottles you borrow!

Wear sunscreen and reapply often.

Dont eat questionable food . . . or people!

For those who are of legal age and do enjoy a drink with friends, trying new concoctions is
always fun. However, remember as always you are still responsible for your actions when
you are drunk and people will rightfully hold anything stupid you do while drunk against you
later.

If someone asks you whats in a drink or dish you offer him or her, ALWAYS tell them.
Conversely, never be afraid to ask, Whats in it? if offered food or drink. Remember some
people are allergic to certain ingredients and your secret recipe is not worth someones
health. Make your allergies known if necessary.

Clean up your camp daily and strive to leave the site cleaner than it was when you arrived.

Maintain your fire pit and other open flames (tiki torches, etc.) safely. Do not leave open
flame unattended.

Take care of yourself and/or your children all week. Minors are, at all times, the
responsibility of their parents/legal guardians.

Security is there to help the event run smoothly with minimal incidents. If you find yourself
in a situation where security is involved, be cooperative and dont argue. Remember, they
are volunteers doing their job, and the faster theyre done the faster things go back to normal.
Never take matters into your own hands; that is what security is there for.

Merchants are a wonderful perk of Ragnarok. Treating our merchants well means they, in
turn, will treat us well. Always give the merchants, their products, and their vending spaces
the respect they deserve. Browsing through a merchants tent and leaving it a wreck is not
only not cool, but in many cases may be illegal and legal action may be taken, and you may
be asked to leave the event.

Regarding live steel: Everyone loves to show off the new toys they pick up from the
merchants at Ragnarok, and this includes blades. When looking at or drawing any sort of
blade, whether it is a pocket knife or a hand-forged claymore, ALWAYS yell Clear!
before drawing the blade. This alerts everyone around that a blade is out and to be careful. It
also reduces the chances of accidents happening. This goes for any sort of blade, not just the
ones you buy on-site during the event. Also remember that carrying a live steel blade is
never a good idea when inebriated and may get you kicked out of Ragnarok. Live steel
blades are never permitted on the battle field and bringing them on the field may result in
your being asked to leave the event or even having legal action taken against you.
Additionally, most official and unofficial parties at Rag ban weapons of any kind; steel,
foam, and/or costume.

No means no. It is not open to debate. A skimpy outfit is not an invitation. The genders of
the person asking the question and the person saying no are irrelevant. Treat everyone with
the level of respect you would like to receive.

Have a question? Ask! Your hosts have painstakingly worked to bring Ragnarok XXX to
you. If you have specific questions about Troll, Security, Battles, Rag U, Merchants, or
Nightlife, please ask directly, or check in at Troll.

With all that said, welcome to Ragnarok XXXHave fun, kill lots, and have an awesome
event!

Laws of the Land

Even the End of the World ends. Please follow these simple steps to check out of your campsite:
1. Make sure your camp is cleaned up and all garbage has been moved to the dumpsters.
2. All fires must be completely out and the pits must be cleaned of debris.
3. There will be a final inspection of each camp before the last participants leave. If there are any
problems, the realm in question will be responsible for finding a solution. Please be pro-active!

Children & Family Events

1. The landowners and their staff have authority over the entire campground. Please comply with
any requests they make. Endangering the use of their property is unacceptable.
2. Follow all Coopers Lake rules. These rules are non-negotiable and failure of Ragnarok
attendees to abide by these rules could jeopardize our ability to continue to use Coopers Lake. If
placed in that position, event staff will choose Coopers Lake and maintaining a good relationship
with them over a Ragnarok attendee.
3. NO PETS are allowed at this event. The only exception to this are certified trained service
animals. All service animals must be registered with Troll. Proper paper work for a certified
helper animal must also be presented at Troll.

9. Respect all Coopers Lake property. Do not trash the shower houses. If you are covered in mud,
body paint, etc. there is a swimming hole located at the bottom of the hill in the creek (access
through the Creekwood camping area). Rinse off in the creek before going to the showers.

11. Personal motorized vehicles are prohibited (golf carts, Segways, etc.), and no cars are allowed
in camps.
12. Please comply with all requests made by the event staff, Heralds, and Troll.

13. Remember, on the field the word of the Heralds is law. They have both the right and the
responsibility to kick you off the field if you are violating the rules.
14. Safety is our number one priority. All weapons must pass weapons check before they may be
brought out onto the field. People that sneak unchecked weapons onto the field will not be
allowed to participate and may be asked to leave the event.
15. Do not touch anyone elses property without their permission. Do not enter camps, tents,
pavilions, etc. without the permission of their owners.
16. As a corollary to rule 15: Yes, you can fish in Coopers Lake. No, you cannot enter someone
elses camp without their permission in order to do so. If there is no one there to give you
permission DO NOT ENTER. There are plenty of places along the lake shore that are within the
Ragnarok boundaries that are not blocked by camps from which you can fish. Fishing is catch and
release only.
17. Dagorhir has a zero tolerance policy for illegal activities. This includes but is not limited to:
underage drinking/serving alcohol to under-aged individuals, illicit drug use, stealing, brawling,
fighting, or any act of violence against any attendee or staff member, as well as breaking any
other state or federal laws we havent listed. Breaking the law is grounds for immediate

18. Real weapons of any kind are not allowed on or near the battlefield.

hearts. But there are those who have passed on, who will not rise again to fight with us
or feast in Valhalla: our friends and family who have passed from this world.
If you wish to honor one of your own, or someone for whom you had a great
admiration, or just as a sign of respect to those who have lost, join us at Pahmoten camp
where we will start our procession. As we pass throughout the campground, even if you
do not join the march, please pause your activities, or stand at your camp's entrance, and
let us pass in silence. We heartily encourage bringing banners and other such relics into
the march.

21. Dont over use the ground water. The ground water is shared by the entire camp ground and
may not be safe for drinking. Overusing it will cause the water level to drop and we will be
unable to access it. Absolutely no swimming pools filled with ground water

Evening: Dead Mans Party @ Lower Field

Loosely based on the Dead Men of Dunharrow, this party is open to all. Food, fighting,
Drinks. This event has something for everyone, and is everything to someone. Come
celebrate.

22. There must be visible boundaries (sheet walls, rope walls, etc.) around each campsite. This
will prevent people from cutting across your camp uninvited.

Dark: Night Fighting @ Night Fighting Field (Meadow)

11:00 PM: Midnight Madness on Merchant's Row

23. Non-consensual vandalism, theft, or destruction of property is strictly prohibited.

24. No means no. It is not open to debate. A skimpy outfit is not an invitation. At parties do not
touch anyone without their express, verbal consent. If someone is drunk the safe policy is to take
yes, maybe, and no to mean no.
25. Do not cut the campsite's timber for firewood. Under no circumstances may garbage, refuse,
hay, or straw be burned. Remember it is illegal to bring firewood into the campground from
outside of the state of Pennsylvania.

Regarding Minors

A minor is any individual under the age of 18.

The minimum age to take the field at Ragnarok is 16 and requires a notarized waiver signed
by the minors parent or permanent legal guardian.

When arriving at Ragnarok and registering on site, proof of parentage (a copy not the
original ) of the minor s birth certificate listing the parents name or status as permanent
legal guardian (a copy of the order of permanent guardianship) must be presented to Troll.

For a minor of any age to be present at Ragnarok his or her parent or permanent legal
guardian must be present at all times.

In addition, a minor is only allowed to be on site while his or her parent or permanent legal
guardian is on site. This means that if the parent or permanent legal guardian leaves the site
for any reason, even a town run for a few hours, the minor must go with them.

Join our Rag Merchants on the Row until 1 AM for an evening of fun, games, and
shopping. Check with merchants for special Midnight Madness deals. Shopping,
entertainment, and prizes await you at Midnight Madness!

held responsible for the behavior of the minors in their care. Behavior that would result in
ejection from Ragnarok will result in the ejection of the minor and their parent/legal
guardian.

Time: Mon-Sat 10 AM 12 PM
Locations: Upper Check, Near the Medic Tent. Backyard on the Coopers Map
Lower Check (Except Arrows), Site D1 on the Coopers Map
Spot Checking: May be done on the field, or garb gates, to determine if a weapon has been
damaged or has broken down and now fails, but will not be used to pass weapons that have not
been checked by the Weapons Checking Staff. The only place that you can get a passing band
from is a weapon check authorized by the head of check.
How often do I need to get my stuff checked?
Armor?: All armor is required to be checked, and passed, once before being worn into battle.
Melee Weapons?: Every other day. (EX Sun., Tues., Thur., Sat. or Mon., Weds., Fri.)
Missiles? Every Day.
Bow? Every other day.
Melee Check: In order to get weapons checked and returned as quickly as possible, multiple lines
are formed. When it is your turn to have your equipment checked, you will be asked to show
your Rag Tag then hand your weapons to the checker that is heading your line. They will look it
over and give you feedback. If the item passed then it will be marked with a Passing Band. If
it has failed, then it will be handed back to you, with an explanation as to why it failed and
possible solutions to fix it. You can fix failed weapons and get them re-checked that day, if you
can get it done by 12pm
Missile Check: The archery station will be using a pile method for arrows, bolts, javelins, and
rocks. Bows will be checked for weight via a line set up. Get in line, string your bow and when it
is your turn, hand it to the bow checker. The bow is checked for draw weight, labeled pass or fail
and handed back. Having you there will keep your bow from walking off with someone that does
not own it.
Armor Check: Operates in two lines, one at Upper and Lower Check. You must be WEARING
your armor. Measurement tools including calipers may be utilized. A tamper proof sticker is
placed in an unobtrusive area on every piece of armor that has passed Check. As with weapons, if
anything is wrong an explanation will be given and suggestions provided on how to fix the
problem so that you may repair your armor and return to have it re-checked.
If you feel your weapon/armor has been failed unfairly, you may appeal to the Head of Weapon
Check for a final decision. Remember that the Head of Weapon Checks decision is final whether
you agree with the ruling or not

Warm ups begin at Noon, all scheduled battles begin at 1 PM on the Main Field unless otherwise

A Note on Heralding

A heralding class will be conducted by Jari or Oddayin each day for those volunteering for
heralding duty and will cover what to look for on the field, specifically unsafe behavior and where
the lines need to be drawn and how people that are acting unsafe will be handled. Heralds will
also be spot checking for violations of garb rules, and of course, unsafe or unchecked weapons.
Unsafe acts Heralds will be monitoring for include, but are not limited to: arrows shot from to
close, and javelins thrown from to close, overhead straight down swings. While engaging in an
unsafe act may not result in immediate action, depending on whether or not it results in injury,
those engaging in unsafe acts will be watched more closely by the Heralds. If action is deemed
necessary, the following procedures will be observed:
-The first time a Herald sees a fighter engaging in something unsafe behavior, they will
take their Rag tag number and send them to the nearest resurrection point.
-A second offense will see the fighter sent the Head Herald who will radio it in, and the
fighter will be pulled from the field for the battle.
-Determinations for more serious or continued unsafe behavior will be made as needed
by the Head Herald and/or the Head of Day Events.

Osgiliath
Our Protagonist army has stumbled into another Kingdom while scouting. Our
Antagonist army has noticed and sought fit to meet them in the ruined city of Osgiliath.
The Armies arrive close to the same time, at midday, seeking to capture this once noble
city, neither knowing abilities of the other.
Hold onto as many Holy Points as possible on the island city of Osgiliath for thirty (30)
minutes. Resurrections happen in groups. If you can manage to capture a Holy Point near
one of the siege weapons, your team gains control of that siege weapon. Boats will be in
play. The length of time the points are controlled will determine the other teams
resurrection counts in the next scenario.
Prison Break
Our Protagonist army has surrendered, being outmatched by a greater army, and has been
taken prisoner. They plot a daring escape and manage to liberate their gear from prison
guards and are fighting their way out of the castle to gather reinforcements and avenge their
fallen comrades.
Protagonists starts inside the castle and have to break out through the castle, the village
outside, the open fields beyond that, and into the forest. This is a death tax battle with the
Antagonist defenders running out of deaths at each stage to ensure the escaping
Protagonists can continue. The team with least number of deaths wins. Run twice, once
with each team as the Protagonists. Both sides of the castle and its gate will be open to
escape through. The time is takes for all escapees to make it out will determine how far
each team is from the resources in the following day's battle.
Clash Of Kings Ball
Take one of several yoga balls and score by putting it in the through the uprights,
touching the ball with anything but your hands. Most points wins. Runs for 15 minutes

Capture the Flag

Each army is trying to prove they have the upper hand by acquiring support and proving
their worth against the other enemy.
A typical flag capture. Both teams are lined up across from each other with a load of flags to
capture. At right angles to the direct line between the armies are two other "forts" abandoned
for all intents and purposes. Each one of them also has a load of flags and a herald to
distribute them, but not faster than one every minute. These represent allies. Each
captured ally flag is worth half of a captured opposing army's flag.
Resource Capture
Each team has various resources (wood, gold, iron, food, etc.) and must capture said
resource (rocks, colored coded and marked) from a mine near the middle of the woods
and bring it back to its designated storage place. Only one resource item can be carried
at a time.
TBA - A local southern favorite.

Battle for Evermore (See Monday)

Wednesday
Head Herald: Crowe, Commanding Mirkwood
Three Rivers Battle
A large portion of our Protagonists have been caught flat footed once again and are trapped
between two enemy armies. They must fight while retreating, fleeing in the one
direction available.
The Protagonists must hold out as long as possible to keep the Antagonist armies from
reaching their side of the river. Multiple bridges and fords will exist on all three rivers.
Defend the Fort
Our Protagonists have gotten a raven to the rest of their forces and rescue ships are on
the way. They are thirty minutes upstream. Hold out as long as you can to give some of
your army a chance to escape.
The Protagonists hold a town to which they have retreated with a creek between them
and the Antagonists. Three bridges cross that creek, and there are two entrances into the
town. Inside the town are three barracks, and each barracks resurrects every minute. The
barracks can be destroyed. On the Antagonist side are three heralds walking slowly to the
bridges. As they start its a 20 man count before res, halfway to the bridge it's a 10 man, 3/4th
of the way it's a 5 man. When they hit the bridges they stop and its touch and go.

Rescue the General

A general has been lost behind enemy lines in the rout. He was left for dead, but managed to
get a message to the Protagonist army: he is wounded and needs rescued.
The general will be a dummy weighed down by sand and built onto a stretcher. The
Antagonist army will have him behind their lines. They will have several res points
throughout the field at the start, but these points can be disabled by the Protagonists as they
make their way to the general. These points cannot be reactivated. The Protagonists have to
get the general back to the home res point in the least amount of time.
Holy Relic Battle
There is a mysterious relic on an island in the middle of the sea. It brings great power but also
bestows a curse upon its wielder as a penance from the gods.
Inside the ruins is a sword of power. It enables the wielder to do black damage while carrying
it but they also take black damage while holding it. They can hold no other weapons while
handling this power. Weapons can block the damage but not shields. A Herald with a timer
will follow the wielder around and carry a flag to make sure everyone can see the power
coming off the weapon. If the wielder can hold the sword in the Inner area of the ruins they
get 5 points for every 10 seconds. The Middle area accrues 3 points per 10 seconds. And the
Outside area of the ruins 1 point per 10 seconds. It pays to stay where the fighting is hardest,
but is it worth it?
