The Morrigan Tournament

A kingdom level women's/non-binary tournament in the Kingdom of Northern Lights, located in Washington State.

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.
-Guin Llewellyn

Tournament Heraldry

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. Have questions? Reach out!
