ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We, the Empire of the Wolf, take pride in our event, both in how it is run and how it looks. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the Dagorhir MOA garb rule set, and have a few additional house rules of our own.
1). We require all attendees, combatants or not, to wear at least Dagorhir minimum garb at our event, better and exceptional garb is strongly encouraged.
2). All safety equipment & logos MUST be concealed in some way, this includes knee pads, braces, sunglasses, modern/MMA gloves w/ logos, etc.
3). This is a winter event, we fight outside in the snow, DRESS IN APPROPRIATE GARB & LAYERS. We will not make concessions for obvious modern/mundane winter clothing, it can be easily concealed by/under your garb. This includes modern/mundane coats, underarmor, modern/mundane hats, or anything else that may bear a modern/mundane logo. Hoods from hoodies/sweatshirts may be visible on top of your garb, provided it bears no modern/mundane logos/prints.
4). We reserve the right to ask you to leave the event at any time, without a refund, if you fail to comply with these basic rules. NO GARB = NO FIGHTING OR FOOD.

Oh... the food sounds delicious! Oh, I really, really, really wish I could go now... You make me hungry... There might be a possibility... MIGHT... Still, I never truly been to Kentucky, I just drove by it twice on the way to Mississippi and Louisiana on a mission trip, but that is about it.

NEWS UPDATE: For those going to Yule
I've spoken with Thorgier and he has given us the okay to use college funds for gas to get to Yule and back. So save your receipts, make sure ONLY GAS is on the receipts, and turn them in to Throgier when we get back.
I know this a big deal for those of us who are low on funds, so a big thank you to NMC and our NMC rep, huh?

Hopefully you mean ONLY FUEL, not gas. My car runs on diesel, not gas.
