Traders at the Herofest LARP Events
Tower Location:
Members of the Traders travel the Planes and do not hold a Tower upon Orin Rakatha.
Tower Colours:
Because members of the Traders are not normally resident upon Orin Rakatha they do not wear Tower colours. The Traders are protected by the Master Brewer
Representative:
Mr Benkins
Summary:
An association of Traders that are here to cater to the needs of everybody else. This faction includes real LARP Traders who will offer their wares for sale (real money required!). The traders will be selling and serving food indoors with real crockery and cutlery and somewhere to sit. The building that holds the bar and the catering area will be in character at all times and coming to eat and or drink will not interfere with your larping activities.
Larping Notes:
The Traders consist of a number of individual Merchants who have banded together to minimise their costs and to provide protection when traveling the dangerous planes. They are from a variety of races and backgrounds. They do not normally reside upon Orin Rakatha and have been invited to the gatherings in order to provide a selection of goods not normally available.
The Traders are of a generally polite disposition unless provoked by rude customers or are attacked whilst they are trying to conduct business; if roused they can be fearsome to behold. The Traders are extremely reliable and provide a beneficial service to all. Their continued support at all events is essential, so it is best not to antagonise them.
In or out of character?
We will have the trade stand in character for all of every larping event. Although the traders will be in character you will of course need real money to purchase their larp wares. Our plan is that the traders will be able to take part in the event whilst still being able to sell their goods. There will be a chance before and after the event to purchase items out of character if you would rather not have your shopping interfere with your larping.
Diplomatic status with the other factions
Traders are always friendly to all other factions.
Traders Rules
- Everyone completes the booking form for traders
- When you arrive on the Thursday or Friday you will have access to the LRP trader’s area where you can drive onto the site and set up/unload before taking your vehicle to the car park.
- Although in character live role playing will be taking place on the Friday we will make allowances for everyone to be able to drive on site even those arriving after dark.
- If you arrive after 6pm, you will need to wait to be escorted to your pitch.

- There are stop taps for water around the site.
- No access onto site by vehicles will be allowed on the Saturday.
- Time out is officially at 2am on the Sunday morning.
- You will be able to drive onto site from the car park any time after 8am on the Sunday morning.
- There is plenty of space at candleston for the traders to set up tents so you can have as much room as you like.
- Your trading area, although in character, will be a non combat area the same as the camping areas and tavern area.
