Weekend Warrior

Our goal is to create an immersive world, in a cinematic fantasy universe, to give you an unparalleled experience at the event.

We are treating this event like a film and we see your garb and gear as wardrobe for your character, specific to this world and time period. With these efforts and an attention to detail we will work to suspend your disbelief, opening up your imagination, and allowing you to become the hero, or villain you've always dreamed of being.

In October, a climactic conflict will occur between the forces of Throi and Olaran… for years these behemoths have fought each other for supremacy- will this autumn see a victor in the fight? Or will the forces of the Wold Folk, Order of Luminos, and the phalanxes of the Themisian Empire, each with their own vision for the future, take the center stage in our story? What unlikely heroes will arise, and what villains will lurk on the edges of the narrative?

Spring, Year of Light 1126…

The southwest portion of the Oroneryn Wilds, not far from the Kingsmen-held city of So’l, suddenly became the center of a many-sided border skirmish that, while not a large engagement, held implications for the far-flung conflicts of war-torn Adrasil…”

Weekend Warrior: Border War 2026 was an absolute blast - and now the recap is up on the website! Find it under the “lore” page.

Weekend Warrior 2023 was our seventh year - and it was a huge event! We introduced two new factions - the and , and paved the way for the creation of the the year following as the Hearthguard returned to their homeland.

Our new event space meant we could try different fighting tactics, and our gameplay shifted to a more objectives-based style of fighting as we continued to refine how our battles worked.

There were feasts, there were fights, and there was a whole lot of politics. 2023 was a year to remember!

This year at the and the will be meeting for the first time since 2023… what will the outcome be?

And will the and alliance, and the and alliance (both forged in 2023) stand the test of time? Join us this autumn to find out!

2022, our sixth year, started off with a bang - three monarchs were crowned, and the realm of Olaran was officially split. The politics and alliances kept everyone on their toes, and the massive line battles were the stuff of legends.

Tickets to our TENTH event season are now available!! Which faction will you join??

Continuing the throwback… our fifth year in 2021 was the year our event exploded (in a good way). We sold of tickets and had a waiting list, and realized we needed bigger property as soon as possible.

This year was the first year the was a playable faction, and it was the year both the and rebelled from Olaran. A new Olar king was discovered, and the next chapter of our story began.

This year we also had a lot of rain, which made for some incredible photos from our wonderful photographer .

As we continue to count down to our tenth year, let’s look at some photos from our fourth event.

2020…what a year that was in the world outside our little world! Thankfully we were able to meet, albeit with some extra precautions, and the true joy of being with such a beloved community after such a hard year was beyond price.

It was a big story year as well! Killian was tried, the was founded, and new alliances took shape.

Kits were continuing to be refined, faction lore was gaining depth, and the community was blossoming… the World of Adrasil was growing so much every year!

Were you at our event in 2020? What was your favorite moment?

The countdown to our tenth event continues with another flashback…

2018 was the first year that was in charge of Weekend Warrior as a whole, rather than just as faction leaders of the Sea Lords. It was also the first year that our incredible event photographer was able to come and capture photos of our players!

worked hard in 2018 to improve the game, by increasing the quality standards of kits, as well as deepening the faction lore… a process we continue to this day!

2018 was also the year that we moved the event to the great state of South Carolina, the home of .shop and many of our staff members!

If you had to choose to be part of one of the original four factions, which would you have chosen? , , or ?
