This summer we have seen a surge in attendance, and it is my belief that if we have other realms visit us, or can organize a trip to other realms, it will keep our new fighters engaged in this wonderful sport. If you want to set something up with us, please contact us at knightfall(dot)belegarth@yahoo.com. We are a very friendly and welcoming realm, and always happy to meet new faces. -Argemex

History

In the summer of 2004, Ryan Mills, Trybal, returned to Streator after spending some time as a student at Illinois State University. While at ISU, he had stumbled upon Wolfpack of the High Plains, and became involved in Belegarth. Upon his return home, he decided he wanted to bring the sport with him, so he and two of his close friends, Jason Chalkey (D'Noc) and Jake Maholic (Drin), constructed enough weapons and garb to get them by, and started fighting in a nearby park. Not long after, they attracted several friends and community members, and Knightfall was born. Over the next two years, the realm flourished, peaking at about 30 members, consisting primarily of high school students from the local community. In 2007, realm leadership began to shift as the original Triad, as they were called then, began to assume more preeminent duties in their day to day lives. With their resignation, leadership responsibilities fell to the next highest ranking members. A group of dedicated core members still keep the group alive, fighting the good fight. 14APr2014
