JRR Tolkien's novels The Lord of the Rings inspired a new-found interest in fantasy with the love of the outdoors, improvisational acting, and high energy events. A group called Dagorhir was formed in 1977 with these very ideals in mind. The theme was to catapult people from the 20th century into the midst of an intense battle during the Dark Ages; a time when the values and problems of the modern world did not exist. Dagorhir grew rapidly over the years into a nationwide organization. In 2001, in efforts to protect their intellectual property, such as the original Dagorhir Handbook, the Dagorhir Board of Directors requested that any group wishing to continue to use the Dagorhir brand name sign a legally binding contract regarding their use. Those that did not agree with this form of governance broke off from Dagorhir in order to form Belegarth.
Okay if this is so and all of this is based off The Lord of the Rings than why do I keep hearing that we can't use buttons? I've watched lord of the rings plenty of times to know that their wardrobe particularly Frodo's has buttons.
I've read the garb part of the Book of War 3 times over and it doesn't say anything about buttons not being allowed. So what gives? Are buttons okay or not?
