hey there everybody, I have been kinda lurking on these boards for a little bit, but I have an issue that this is prety much the perfect place to find an Answer. If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it admins.
Okay, so my cousin was at my house over the holidays and found my Dag stuff and decided he wanted to spar me, he loved it and he really wants to get into it however he lives in Carthage, Mo. Im not totally sure where that is, but I was wondering if any of you guys might know a group within about an hour of there, he is a little young still (13) but I figure I can use that time to do some reserch for him.
Any ideas?

Ok, it looks like the closest group is still a ways off. But! No fears! Eldrin is here to save the day!. He is moving to Joplin, which is actually only about 15 miles away. Google maps says 15.1 miles and 23 minutes. There you go die, Ravenwood come through for you, and if I remeber correctly, eldrin could answer for certain, 13 is a legal fighter in Ravenwood.
I will send Eldrin you're way to answer this for certain.

Yes at battle practice a 13 year old can fight with a signed notarized waiver and also if his parents have a discussion with me about his their involvement. I don't want any mixed signals about what we do our why we do it! ;D
I'm moving so the only real way to keep in good contact with me is through the internet. I left the @dagorhir email address on the other boards and you can always message me on here !
Thanks for your consideration!

okay, awesome I will try to get ahold of you and perhaps you will have a new member, I think the biggest problem will be to convince his parents, just be warned

That shouldn't ever be a problem. Tell the parents that the organization will spark their son's interests because of the medieval facet of the group... and the parents will love it because when their son is out getting fresh air and exercise, he won't be sitting behind a computer screen or in front of a video game, and he'll be participating in something that will help him to gain friends and a sense of accomplishment.
I don't know many parents that *want* their children to be couch slouches or unpopular video game geeks...

none the less it happens, his mother seems rather intent on making sure he has no character of his own let alone going out for a day and making another one. She wont let him read Harry Potter because of the Magic... which I guess to each their own, but Dang, she is getting better however, and I agree this would be Very good for him, which Is why I am so Glad Ive found Eldrin here!

If she won't let him read Harry Potter it might be a hard sell. I've known parents like that before. It is generally an exercise in futility. Close minded fools annoy me. Once I get his contact info I will do my best to get him involved. It makes me sad when closed minded people won't let their children do dagorhir because were evil foam toting devil worshipers.
This may sound silly but I've been called devil worshiper before! Sad part is I'm a Christian! How ironic.

Like I said she is getting better, so hope isnt lost. and yeah I know what you mean, Im doing the whole Teenager soul searching bit right now and, well that doesnt help the situation with most people, I think for myself therefore I am satan is the general consensus around me, not all but most people seem to think that.

I don't think your Satan! I dabbled in the occult much when I was a younger man. I still study many religions and keep an open mind. The minute you close your mind to possibility is the minute you are at the height of stupidity. Thats an old adage methinks.

I dont do anything Occultish, nothing of the sort even, and im not like persecuted or anything, but I usually dont talk about it much here. No reason to Start a ruckus when one isnt needed I figure, My family listens and accepts me, as do my friends (Including you Eldrin). SO what more can I really Ask for right? Any ways I am trying to get some details nailed down for him to get to you, either in a pm or Myspace, or something
