Equinox XXXIII (2026) The Great Hunt
The banners of the Twilight Citadel have long stood against the darkness beyond its walls. Through war, plague, and the turning of ages, its people have endured.
Now, a new shadow gathers.
From the forgotten wilds and ruined places beyond the reach of civilization comes the Great Hunt, a growing cult devoted to ancient and terrible Dread Gods. Their ranks swell with zealots, fanatics, and warriors who have surrendered themselves to the influence of Miasmic visions: a force that whispers promises of power, purpose, and transcendence.
The Great Hunt marches upon Dur Demarion to conquer and convert all who stand in its way.
Those who embrace the Hunt are welcomed into its ranks and granted the favor of the Dread Gods. Those who refuse face a darker fate.
As the Twilight Citadel braces for war, every fighter must choose their path.
Will you stand beside the defenders of Dur Demarion and drive back the encroaching darkness?
Or will you heed the call of the Great Hunt, swear yourself to the Dread Gods, and help usher in a new age beneath their shadow?
The Hunt has begun.

Some things to remember:
End time:
We need everyone to leave the group camp area by 10am Sunday morning. Each adult who is still in the group camp past 10am will be charged a fee of $25 that will need to be paid before our next event.
Cabins:
If you're in a cabin you will need to bring a broom and sweep it and the porch out after the event. Swiffer mops and pads are provided and your cabin will need to be mopped as well. All windows both inside and out will need relatched, trash in trash bags by the road, and mattresses up against the bunks.
If you're in a 10 man with a fireplace and have a fire, the ashes will need to be cleaned out of that as well so bring a shovel and metal bucket. Leave the lights ON. You will do a walk through with an event coordinator before leaving the event.
Pets:
Pets are required to be vaccinated for rabies. Bring your pet's tags or vet bill to the event with you. Animals will need to be leashed. You are personally responsible for your pet and the waiver does not protect you from liability if your pet does something it shouldn't. Please pick up dog feces and dispose of it properly. Please see the pet rules post for more details.
Children:
Young children should be within their parent's sight at all times. Parents are ultimately responsible for their children no matter who may be watching them for you. After dark, all children must be in their camps and/or with their parents.
Driving:
Speed limit in the group camp is 5mph. This is strictly enforced for the safety of all participants.
Cigarettes:
All butts should be placed in proper containers. Any thrown on the ground have to be picked up by volunteers at the end of the event and it's disgusting. Smoking is not allowed inside any structure (cabin, feast hall, pavilion, etc.)
Electricity:
The cabins at Montgomery Bell are historic and so is the electricity. You cannot run a hair dryer and a space heater at the same time or you will blow a fuse.
Bugs: cabins are in the woods and should be regarded as such. Bugs, bats, and animals sometimes make their way in. Please let an event coordinator know if you have a problem so we can have a ranger safely remove the animal. Bats living in the rafters of porches are common and will not be removed. If you really hate bugs, bringing a bug bomb is not a bad idea. Bomb your cabin before putting your items inside of it and follow all safety instructions. Most common bugs found in cabins are wolf spiders which are not poisonous. Remember you are in Tennessee. Wear tick repellent on and off the field.
Arriving after troll is closed:
Move the gate and report to the troll in the morning. All cars are marked as they come in so it is obvious who has paid and who has not. Parking up against the feast hall is prohibited unless you are an event coordinator or Lady Feri. You may Park on grass if necessary.
Wood:
Outside wood is not allowed to be brought into Tennessee state parks. Pick up deadwood in the forest for your fires. There are plenty. All wood not used after the event must be «returned to nature» aka thrown back into the woods. Wood is not allowed to be stacked against cabins because of termite risk.
Fires:
Fires are allowed in designated fire pits only. Above ground fire pits are allowed but you will be subject to a $100 fine if you leave scorched earth underneath the fire pits. Please be mindful of this and move your pit frequently. Digging out fire pits is not allowed.
Bathhouses:
Toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap are supplied by the realm. If you see that something is low or out or there is a problem with a toilet etc, please notify the troll and they will fix the problem immediately.
Feast Hall/refrigerator:
If you have a special need to store something please let an event coordinator know.
Swimming is not allowed (park regulation).
Balloons are not allowed (park regulation, birds eat them and die)
Inclement Weather:
Event coordinators keep a close eye on weather developments. In the case of inclement weather such as a tornado warning, please proceed to the feast hall for further instructions from event coordinators.
Tokens:
Please keep them on you at all times. If you find a lost token or you lose yours please proceed to troll.
Medical Emergencies:
If you have an Epi Pen or are diabetic, or other serious medical conditions, please list this information including medical equipment on your waiver under medical conditions. Example: Allergic to bees. Epi Pen in front left pouch of brown and green bag in cabin 3. Example: Type 2 Diabetic. Glucometer and supplies inside black suitcase with yellow tag in Horde Camp, blue and green 4 man tent.
Minors:
If you are bringing your minor child to the event and will be with them the entire time, all you need to do is sign a minor waiver for your child.
ATTENTION MINORS: IF you are under 18 and your parent or legal guardian will not be with you the entire time you are at the event, you will be REQUIRED to present the following items in order to get into Equinox:
-A chaperone who is over 21 to be with you at the gate.
-A notarized Equinox 2023 minor waiver signed by your parents.
-A notarized letter from a parent stating the following: the name of the event, your name, the name of your chaperone, your parents signature. Minor waivers can be found at https://www.durdemarion.com/waivers under the minor section.
