The Morrigan Tournament
Currently a kingdom level women's/non-binary tournament in the Kingdom of Northern Lights, located in Washington State.
Blackspire is beginning to incorporate the Morrigan Tournament into their plans, we will see where that leads for BS!
The first Amtgard Crown Tournament was won by a woman. Women and Non-binary players have every right to be respected and feared on the battlefield, The Morrigan Tournament will help ensure we continue to push ourselves. We need to build our community and ensure we have the knowledge to succeed.

History
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.
The Morrigan Tournament was added to the Northern Lights corpora March 2022! This is a big step for Women and NonBinary fighters in the PNW.
The Dec 2021 and May 2022 tournaments were ran as InterKingdom Tournaments hosted by both Northern Lights and BlackSpire. Have questions? Reach out!
