The Morrigan Tournament was created in 2020 by Countess Squire [[Guin]] Llewellyn, a woman fighter out of the Pacific Northwest. At the time non-men tournaments had really fallen off the map in the PNW, and were beginning to make a comeback. This tournament is designed to be a longer competition to ensure fighters get to show true prowess, no matter the number of participants. The goal is to grow the community for women and non-binary fighters, and ensure that non-men tournaments don't disappear in the PNW again.

Tournament Heraldry

History

Coming behind a history of women/non-binary tournaments in the Kingdom of the Northern Lights, the Morrigan Tournament was named in 2020 by Countess Squire Guin Llewellyn, a woman fighter out of the Pacific Northwest. This tournament is designed to be a competition where non-men fighters are supported and celebrated. The goal is to grow the community for women and non-binary fighters, and ensure that non-men tournaments don't disappear in the PNW.

The Morrigan Tournament was added to the Northern Lights corpora March 2022! This is a big step for Women and Non-Binary fighters in the PNW.

The Dec 2021 and May 2022 tournaments were ran as InterKingdom Tournaments hosted by both Northern Lights and BlackSpire.
