Building Use
There is an indoor space on site, with plumbing / flushing toilets. There is a refrigerator if medicine needs to be refrigerated, but it cannot be used to store foods. There will be chilled water available throughout the day in orange containers located in several locations throughout the site. All bathrooms will be gender neutral
Accessibility
Bathrooms
There are two plumbed bathrooms in the site building that are available for use. Additionally, there will be three portable toilets on site, two standard size and one accessible. None of these five toilets will be gender-restricted. All bathrooms will be stocked with toilet paper, menstruation products, and sanitizer.
Golf Cart
On site there will be regularly available transit via golf cart. This is reserved for those with mobility issues or suffering from acute needs. When not in service, able passengers will be permitted, but please be conscientious of the cart’s primary purpose. If you need transportation on site, flag down any staff member to contact accessibility service. The site is relatively small, so waiting should be minimal.
Court
The first row of court will be reserved for deaf and hard of hearing attendees, as well as those who are summoned into court with mobility difficulties.
Animals
The event is an outdoor event, and as such, most animals are welcome. Service animals, legally defined as dogs and miniature ponies, registered as such, are specifically welcome. Well-behaved dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals are welcome, but attendees take full responsibility for their animals’ safety and behavior. Be respectful of other attendees who may not enjoy being around your animal. All animals must be appropriately restrained while attending the event (leashes, cages, held, etc.). If you have a specific question about animal handling at Ragnarok Rampage, please contact the head of Security and Accessibility.
Calm Space
The Barony of Carraig Ban will facilitate a quiet and calm space suitable for people who are overstimulated, need to meditate or practice religious observance, breast/chest-feed children, or otherwise simply need quiet. This space may not be air conditioned, but it will be shaded and have water provided. If you are in need of air conditioning for health related reasons, please ask any staff member for assistance.
Parking
Several marked parking spots will be provided near Gate for those with mobility needs.

Safety
Ragnarok is a smaller event, with very little worry about security. However, in the event that an issue of security arises, or you have concerns, please speak with any staff member. They can help direct you to the appropriate person.
In the event that two or more attendees are in conflict, the event stewards and Baronial Seneschal will arbitrate for the purpose of the event. If the arbitration does not succeed, the event stewards and Baronial Seneschal have the right to remove any participant from the premises of the event without refund.
In the event that a crime is committed or accused, the appropriate authorities will be notified. That said, the event staff is sensitive to the modern climate of police distrust, and will be on hand to ensure that police are acting in an ethical fashion.
If you experience an emergency situation, every effort will be made to get you the form of assistance that you will most need.
