Dagorhir - Kingdom of Avalon
TOME OF COMBAT

INTRODUCTION

SECTION I

Before we begin - A word to the concerned Newbie:

Not everyone understands what Dagorhir - Kingdom of Avalon, Battlegaming, or Live Roleplaying is all about. So as a person new to the Avalon experience, it must be understood that this is all an elaborate game, and as a game, we pretend to do things we couldn't do in real life.

FOREWARD

I am Dylan, a name that proceeds me in myth, and much that has attached to it could be true. It's a Welsh name, one that I chose for myself after much thought. It means "to seek".

Within the six years that I have lived my life as Dylan, amongst the lands of Dagorhir, I have met my beloved wife and married her, first in persona, and then before God. I have been blessed with two fine, strong children, and I have made friends and enemies that only the lushest of faerie tales could conjure.

By my own hand, I have met a dragon and bested it, and I have sought the Chain and been Knighted. I was a Duke, a Count, a Baron, and an Outlaw, and now at last, I am King. I have been Privileged to gather, and to lead, three of the greatest fighting Units ever known, and I've been to War so many times that I still see Romans in my sleep.

To many, Dagorhir is a game, but to me, it's been a way of life. I know that most of you will never see it that way, but for those of you that do, those with the heart and mind that dare to imagin, I implore thee to take the sword from the stone and enjou the magic within it. This Tome was meant to be that sword.

Peter Pan said it best:

"Dark and Sinister Man, Have at Thee!"

HRM Dylan, 8/92
