Steel your will and forge your legend. Step into the workshop of Darth Dagon and learn how his blades are born. This is not just a class—it’s a crash course in the art of swordcraft. Whether you’re here to get your hands dirty or to study the craft, Darth Dagon will guide you through every stage of sword construction, breaking down his process step by step.

You’ll learn how to shape deadly-looking blades, build durable pommels using EVA foam, choose the right fabrics for sword covers, and assemble a weapon worthy of the battlefield. If you want to forge your own blade under Darth Dagon’s direct guidance, bring your materials and build alongside him. If you’d rather observe, watch closely and take notes—the knowledge is the same.

For example, the winner of the Unbelted Bracket advances to the Page Bracket.

1pm

Assassin Game Start

The basics
Each person who enters will be given the name of another person who is playing the game to assassinate.

When someone successfully assassinates their target, they claim that person’s target as their own.

Example: I have Joe as a target, Joe has Bob as a target. If I take out Joe, Bob becomes my new target.

This will continue until you claim your own name, thus winning the game.

Details
This year it is Militia DAGGERS ONLY.

If you kill your target with anything other than a dagger it doesn’t count as a kill for this game.

For the purpose of this game all daggers will be treated as SCAB.

Safe zones
All buildings, camp sites and places of Nirvana and 10ft around them are considered safe zones.

No killing people while they are IN the bathroom or chilling in a camp, while a fighter is engaged in Battlegames, Tournaments, ditch lines, fighting a quest monster are all considered inappropriate times to try to get your target.

You CAN get people walking to or from somewhere. Leaving a ditch, on the way out of the bathroom, or while searching for a side quest objective.

Conversely if you are hiding in safe zones for extended periods of time, stall is not allowed.

You may receive one warning, if you continue you will be called dead and your target given away.

If you must leave the site let the game runner know (by going to the gate and having them radio Farlanok) and it will be decided if your target will be handed off.
If you are gone too long it may be handed off at game runners discretion.

Farlanok will have the master list and will be checking in on people as the days go on.

Sign up will be at gate!

Timelines, logistics, staffing, budgeting, safety planning, communication, and how to prepare for the inevitable chaos when things don’t go according to plan.
