The New Varangian Guard is a re-enactment group focusing on the Byzantine Empire and its allies and enemies during the 9th to 13th centuries A.D. The group's name relates to the Varangian Guard, bodyguards to the Emperor. The New Varangian Guard uses steel weapons in their melee combat and uses combat archery rules similar to those of the SCA. There are chapters of this group throughout Australia, and members of the NVG sometimes attend SCA events.
