You have been cordially invited to attend the wedding of Tuchi Moonchild, Hostess to the Interplanar Fayre and Sir Bloodgar of Telmar, from Halmadons Heights.
This event follows on directly from the first Herofest event “the Interplanar Fayre”, where one of the available tasks was to vie for the hand of Tuchi Moonchild; this honour was won by Bloodgart of Halmadons Heights. Now just over 2 months later the preparations are set for the wedding of the year. Tuchi Moonchild has given an open invitation to all, to bear witness to her wedding to Sir Bloodgart. In accordance with the customs of her people, it is fitting that celebrations and games be held in honour of this occasion. The celebrations will be held on Orin Rakatha, at the edge of the Bremin Plains, near the World Window. It is not necessary to bring gifts to this event.
The celebrations will commence on the Friday evening where Tuchi Moonchild will welcome her guests and explain what will be asked of them, the games will then commence. There will be several competitions, both individual and team, and a Great Hunt. Favour will be awarded to individuals, similar to the Interplanar Fayre and there will be prizes for the 3 individuals with the most Favour by the time the wedding commences. The actual wedding will take place at Dusk on the Saturday, followed by the normal party celebrations. Everybody will then depart the following day. The event will be controlled by a number of individuals employed by Tuchi Moonchild to ensure that everything is fair and above board.
All attendees are expected to abide by the spirit of the celebration and refrain from the normal political machinations expected between various Factions. Each Faction has agreed to this and consequently decided not to send Faction Representatives, but to let individuals attend and act as they see fit. No doubt, however, there will be some Faction specific agenda that some individuals will be pursuing. Consequently, there will be no Faction areas or encampments; everybody will be camped in one large area. However, this does not prevent members of the same Faction from camping together or acting as one cohesive unit if they wish to do so. There will be an Aura of Serenity covering all of the camping areas, preventing any fighting from taking place, but this will not cover the competition or celebration areas – so it is advised to be cautious in these areas.
It is emphasised that the focus of this event is on individuals and character development and not Faction orientated missions. Whilst there will be Faction plot and information around, the main thrust will be on individuals and their development. With this in mind, the composition of teams for the various competitions is determined randomly and will change for each competition. Favour will be awarded to individuals in each successful team. The prize for the three people with the most Favour will take the form of additional training and therefore be individual specific and not something that can be shared. Although you may decide to help individuals of your Faction if you feel this is appropriate.
The purpose of this Herofest event is to give an insight into the system for those that were unable to attend the May Herofest and to allow people who did attend the event in May to develop their characters further if they wish to do so. Individuals are encouraged to submit character histories and ideas for further development, so that they can be incorporated into each event.

Background Plot
The weekends LARP will take place at the Inter Planar fayre on the world of Orin Rakatha. The fayre appears every year for two weeks and will trade with everyone who travels there as long as they obey all the rules. When it first arrives a number of factions compete to be the host of the fayre. The faction that gains the most favour over the days leading up to the start of the fayre is then recognised as hosts for the next two weeks. This is a very rewarding title to gain and brings with it preferential trading rights. The benefits of these rights are highly sought after.
This is the overall reason for your character to be attending the event. As well as the background plot there will be many other plots some large some small that will become apparent over the course of the weekend. There will be plots written and developed by Herofest and when asked for we will also be adding player and group driven plot.
Each faction is allowed to have twenty members plus a faction representative and a faction leader. The faction representative is provided by us and will be the in character referee for the whole weekend. The faction leader is a player. Anyone can apply to be a faction leader. Simply email us at markst@blueyonder.co.uk and tell us which faction you would like to be leader of.
Faction meetings and missions
There will be a faction meeting on the Friday night and then a number of further meetings on Saturday and Sunday. At the first faction meeting each faction will be given a number of missions to attempt to complete by Sunday night. Each mission will be worth an amount of favour on completion. At the final faction meeting on the Sunday the faction with the completed missions worth the most favour will become the premier faction and be granted the title of ‘Hosts of the Fayre’.
We are keeping as much of the plot and missions secret as possible as each faction will have varied missions and as well as attempting to complete their own will be trying to ensure that the other factions fail to complete their own missions.
Each faction missions will not necessarily be the same. For example two factions may be told to kill Duke Krane. Another two factions may be attempting to make a trade with Duke Krane whilst the last two factions’ mission may be to acquire the same Dukes amulet.
