Line 13:
Geographic areas are organized into chapters called "realms", which hold smaller events in their area. Separate from these are groups called "units", which are groups of people that camp together and/or fight together on the field, and often are made up of a number of people from the same realm. Units tend to have distinctive color schemes, characterization, and style, but each unit is often wildly different from the next. Because there is no definitive time period set for "Dagorhir", characters and units come from a wide range of time periods. This results in extreme anachronisms and oddities like watching thirteenth-century [[Horny Vikings|Vikings]] team up with [[Our Goblins Are Different|goblins]] to fight Roman legions, or [[The Chronicles of Narnia|Narnia]] getting in a fight with [[The Lord of the Rings|Mordor]].
Participants run the gamut of ages, although a person has to be sixteen before they are allowed on the combat field, and typically no one under eighteen is allowed to attend large national events without a parent or guardian present. [[There Are No Girls
Consequently, Dagorhirrim like to think they are "cooler" than other LARPs.
