What is Dur Demarion?

Dur Demarion is Nashville’s home for medieval fantasy foam combat, community, and creativity.

We are a chapter of the national Belegarth organization, but our identity is shaped by the unique people who gather here each week; fighters, friends, families, storytellers, crafters, athletes, and newcomers discovering the sport for the first time.

Belegarth provides the rules and the sport. Dur Demarion provides the heart.

At our core, Dur Demarion is a welcoming, beginner-friendly community built on respect, inclusion, and shared passions. Whether you come for the exercise, the fantasy atmosphere, the friendships, or simply to try something new, you’ll find a place among us. We train together, laugh together, and work together to create events, traditions, and memories that last far beyond the battlefield.

Every practice brings people from all walks of life who support one another, cheer each other on, and grow stronger as a group. We take pride in building a space where fun and safety come first, where bigotry has no place, and where everyone, regardless of background or experience, can join us and feel at home.

Whether you're swinging a sword for the first time or returning after years away, or just want to hang out with nerdy people, Dur Demarion is ready to welcome you.
