The days now are getting shorter and the nights colder. I rubbed my hands together over the fire trying to get some feeling of warmth as I scanned the faces of my comrades.    Just days ago we were attending the Harvest in Lullin.  We helped the town make a contract with the Lizard folk, stop the Grove from being burned down, all while trying to keep a watch on the local vampires.  Yes, vampires, a known entity that I have encountered before so they weren’t hard to spot.  How

The Isle of Tiss is a singular and tightly controlled city-state, comprised of one grand capital city and the surrounding farming districts that sustain it. Despite its limited geographic footprint, Tiss wields influence far beyond what its size would suggest. Power, not land, is the true measure of Tiss ambition. Origins and Arrival Long before the Isle of Tiss was known by that name, its people were citizens of a modest town in central England on Earth, called Ravensbrook.

Nut Stuffed Honey Butter Croissants (Japanese Inspired by a French take on a Turkish adaptation of a Persian dish.) Early one winter morning, Shourri puttered about the kitchen prepping her breakfast before opening the potion shop.  Today was a special day because she had picked up some lovely Flaky Pastries from the Busy Bee Bakery.  She licked her lips thinking about biting into the soft buttery buns drizzled with honey as she sipped her piping hot and steamy brown bean bre

After the Crimson Harvest of 8218 in Lullin, this Journal was found after the infamous Court. Mr. Alistair, nor the Beast, were anywhere to be found.

Part 1: Last Wish and Warning of Kenear    The following was found scribbled on a piece of paper near the town of Lullin. "I write this by my dying flame to anyone who finds this body. The nobles of Lullin LIE . As she spoke of unity and working together the baroness killed  Mousse Gren. I barely escaped now but I still hear them reveling in their crimson harvest. If you find me dead, bring my sword back to Shylenshara and the news that Kenear son of Callewen has fallen and y

Governor Cairbre Ó Gallchobhair is widely regarded as one of the most capable and beloved leaders in the northern realms. Born to a respected merchant family with ancient Emerald Folk lineage, Cairbre grew up among both the sea winds and the council halls. His mother was a priestess of Brighid, his father a noted trade envoy to the Reman coast. From a young age, Cairbre displayed an uncanny ability to mediate disputes, remember names, and leave every room with the last word—a

Year of 8218 News from one of the lesser barbarian tribes has reached our ears. Multiple reports have confirmed a vampire outbreak in the city known as “Lullin” (Known as New Iuvavum on civilized maps) of the peoples that call themselves the “Emerald Folk”. Said reports confirm the death of at least one honorable dwarf, and an unknown number of barbarians and other undesirables.   The barbarians failed to heed our advice and follow our ways, and as such, the undead scourge wa

Usually known as the Dwarven Calendar This is the standard 18-month calendar adopted by the dominant cultures on the Western Continent of Shiandria, often referred to as the "common calendar."

Submitted by Brannith Marius, Sergeant of the 8th Legion of the Imperial Reman Republic and Prince of New Rome. Date: the 18th day of the month of Agonalia in the year of 8218 The stench of Aquitania still clings to my armor, a vile mix of salt, blood, and the sickly-sweet odor of decay. I write this entry not in the comfort of a proper barracks, but by the sputtering light of a guttering candle, the sounds of drunken Norsemen echoing in the distance. This campaign… this plun

The Whereabouts and Journey of Sgt. Brannith Marius during the events of the Crimson Harvest (the October 2025 event). The falling season of the Crimson Harvest brought little cheer to the 8th Legion of the Imperial Reman Republic, especially to those tasked with securing the long, desolate stretch of the Western Road that snaked toward the Alliance of Dwarven Clans. Sgt. Brannith Marius, his short gray hair and gray/white beard matching the grim horizon, commanded a small, d

Dawn Lands LARP: Pirates Plunder April 25th - 27th, 2025 Following a devastating civil war, the Imperial Reman Republic outlawed the trade of slaves, restricting slavery to punishment for severe crimes. However, this policy has begun to erode since the Republic allied with the Tiss, a people whose economy thrives on the trade of weapons, slaves, and other profitable commodities. In the peace that followed the civil war, it was agreed that only criminals could be made indentur

The Summer and Winter Courts, ruled by twin sisters, govern and control the Faewyld. While it might be easy to separate them into good and evil, the morality of the Courts is not that simple and to believe that is often perilous . Both courts are chaotic, as is the Faewyld and both make dangerous enemies to any that offend them. All fae can be spiteful, especially when they’ve been offended. The Courts should be looked at as the embodiments of their seasons, which reflect the

In the heart of an ancient forest, where the trees whisper their secrets and the air hums with magic, there lies a hidden portal to the Faewyld. This mystical realm, known for its enchanting beauty and unpredictable nature, is a place where reality intertwines with dreams, and time dances to its own whims. Here is a world unlike any you’ve ever seen. The air is thick with the scent of blooming flowers, and the sky is painted in hues of lavender and gold. But amidst the beauty
