Not every part of Ancestral Nest was about combat.
Between the fights, there were conversations, preparations, quiet moments, laughter, music, visitors, participants and all the small details that gave the day its character.
A broader look at the people and atmosphere around Swords Castle.
With this post, we’re wrapping up our general coverage of the festival.
A separate feature on Kukawica, including their performance, group portraits and a few photographs from the chapel, is currently in preparation.

The Battlefield.
A more extensive collection of combat photographs from Ancestral Nest at Swords Castle.
This album is intentionally broader than a typical highlights selection, giving participants a chance to revisit the fights in more detail and follow individual exchanges and sequences.
MORE photographs will be ADDED as I work through the remaining material.
