At a Glance

History

The first War of Reckoning was held the weekend of February 5th through February 7th, 2009. It was slated to take place in the Warner Valley area outside St. George, UT but due to the only access road being washed out by the local monsoon season as well as the fighting sands being torn apart by ATV's and being covered in horse crap, it was moved to an equally remote and sandy location to the north between the cities of Washington and Hurricane.

Rain continued to plague the event and fighting was moved to An Tir Dearg's regular practice field at Nisson Park in Washington, UT. Feast was held under the pavilion with Indian food and belly dancing and drumming for entertainment.
