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
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.
