About
The Realm of Avalon, BMCS is a non-profit organization located in Summit County, Ohio dedicated to establishing and maintaining an area chapter of Belegarth Medieval Combat Society.
Belegarth is a community of nerds dedicated to creating a medieval fantasy experience. From Arts & Sciences to tournaments and field fighting, there is truly something for everybody.
​
Originally founded in 1991 as a Dagorhir chapter, the Realm of Avalon switched to Belegarth in the winter of 2001. In early 2024, Officers of the Realm filed articles of incorporation to officially grant the organization a non-profit status. In current state, the Realm of Avalon, BMCS is recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Our Mission
It is the mission of BMCS to create a safe, fun, inclusive, and friendly environment in which participants may engage in medieval-fantasy activities, especially simulated combat with sports equipment and the pursuit, study, and appreciation of related arts and sciences.
​
The Realm of Avalon, BMCS looks to support Belegarth’s mission statement at a local level, by implementing local practices, events, and community gatherings.
Our Vision
We aim to promote Belegarth as a medieval recreation community within North-East Ohio.
