Fighting Practices

Endurance on the battlefield Practice makes perfect, and successful warriors have to practice regularly to keep their skills proficient and improving. It is also beneficial to practice against skilled opponents, and no one is more skilled than a Dagorhir Aratari warrior. Most units practice regularly throughout the spring, summer and fall, and most would regard any new people as welcome guests, providing advice and help in making you a worthy combat veteran. And remember: If it's your first night at fight club, you have to fight!

The Monday night practice is listed first, as it is the traditional and open Dagorhir practice. The rest are unit practices listed in order of day in the week. For a list of practices outside the Aratari area, contact your local Realm.
