Drachenfest Pictures
Jul. 29th, 2013 10:26 pmMy pictures are already online, thanks to the fact I forgot to switch my camera off after the champion's fight and the battery ran empty. I wouldn't have time to take pictures anyway, but now I didn't get to make any during the Endslacht either (I didn't participate because of the hot weather).

Click the happy barbarian for more!
These are mostly from the Champion's fight in Green and some from our Anarquendor camp.
Germany has some weird rules about full-contact fighting and Sigil (elf with red warpaint, white hair) and Haddingur (human with green-black tabbard) have practiced several times and are both very skilled fighters, so yes, that drop-kick you see in there is real and (somewhat) safe.
Biting your chainmail like the barbarians do is never a good idea though, so don't try this at home kids...

En wat een prachtige barbarenkostuums... respect voor het maken én voor het dragen in die hitte!
