Herofest LARP/LRP Presents 'The Interplanar Fayre 2009'.
Following the Wizard's Concillium successful opening of the rift gate at the Moment of Magic and the return of elemental magic to Orin Rakatha the factions turn their thoughts to life and death magic at the forthcoming Interplanar Fayre.
Why does the Sword of Life lie powerless, what links it to the Eye of Set and the Curse of Amontep? Will the combination of these items of power somehow remove the curse of Tuchi Moonchild and allow the factions to venture through the Rift Gate safely at the following Recruitment?
What of the new creatures, mercenaries, missionaries and traders that have started coming through the Rift Gate onto Orin Rakatha, will they prove to be friend or foe?
In addition:
The Traders Faction wish to sponsor a Minstrels Competition. All factions are requested to put forward representatives for this competition to be held on Saturday Evening in the Tavern from 7pm
The factions may enter as many individuals (or groups) as they wish; each entertainment slot must be no more than 7 minutes long and may take the form of any entertainment (songs, dance, music, poetry, magic etc etc)
The 4 best acts (chosen by a panel of judges) will be requested to perform again the same night in a finale for which the winner will gain a tremendous prize
Tuchi MoonChild wishes to proclaim a 'Summer King'; this person will be offered the opportunity to influence the laws of Orin Rakatha for one year.
Orlo, Master of Arms of the Mercenaries, intends to organise a pitched battle to prove which of the factions has the skill, knowledge and guile to be proclaimed victorious. The battles will take 3 formats.
First, paired combats - each faction must nominate their best pair of fighters to enter the ring of combat; this will take the form of a knock out competition. Second, the factions will fight each other in the ring of combat again in a knock out form.
The finale is a grand pitched battle with the factions divided into equal sides; the faction the scores the most points from these three competitions will be trained by Master Orlo in new skills of Combat at the next Recruitment.

Herofest LARP/LRP Presents 'A Moment of Magic'.
Following the partial failure of the Labyrinth of Xenos to break the wards on Ritual Magic created by the Mystics the Wizard's Concillium have begun investigations into the reasons behind the failure. They have concluded that the main reason was due to the lack of power in the ritual and have decided that a Stone of Great Power is required to be forged. This Stone of Great Power must be fused with the powers of the elements; luckily since the rift was opened a number of Elemental creatures have begun to come through and the Wizards Concillium have found out that the essences of these creatures form shards of such a stone. If they can create this stone they believe that the rift will become stable and the access to Elemental Magic will be sealed. No one knows what links the great creature that came through the rift either to the actions of the Concillium or the Labyrinth nor how Elemental Magic is rumoured to be but part of the powers that Ritual Magic would grant; perhaps the Aldonar Tombs hold more secrets or even the Lost Elves know more of the magics of Life and Death; the knowledge of which lies even beyond that of the Concillium - But being practically minded they intend to crack that one next!
The factions continue to learn more of the use of the great Primaries (and other items of Renown) and support the Wizard's Concillium to bring back Elemental Magic to Orin Rakatha - perhaps uncovering some knowledge of what lies in the future.
Now the Wizards Concillium are calling on all the factions and mercenaries to gather and aid them to enable safer casting of ritual magic.
If you haven't attended a Herofest larp event yet then this is an ideal chance to come and see what is on offer. The first 25 new players to take book the catering option will be able to play the event for free.
For those of you who have already attended a previous event we will have all the usual attractions plus some new additions.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Herofest LARP/LRP Presents 'Recruitment'
The laws of the land state that any who come to the world of Orin Rakatha must join a faction within a year and a day of their arrival. After that they are considered towerless and are considered fair game to all factions to hunt and kill.
Every year the mercenaries host the ‘Recruitment’. All towers are invited to send a faction to recruit those who have not already joined a tower. Spardan, the Leader of the mercenary faction, has sent out the word and all the mercenaries towerless and independents from around the world will be gathering to decide which faction they will join.
Many individuals and some groups will have come through the legendary ‘World Window’ from other worlds as scouts and as forerunners to see what possibilities and potential there is for them to have their own factions.
Spardan has invited faction leaders’ representatives’ members and individuals all to gather on the Thursday night to set up their camps. Friday will be a time for each faction to gather their people together and discover what orders and missions have been sent by their tower.
Recruitment begins on the Friday evening and will continue right through until the Saturday night late/Sunday AM. On the Sunday the factions will pack up and leave taking their new recruits with them and reporting back to their tower what new factions may have begun.
Everyone will expect diplomacy intrigue, alliances to be made and broken, assassination attempts, political and combat missions, competitions and games. All will be taking place at …….
‘The Recruitment’.
The main idea behind this larping event is for players already in a faction to complete and further personal group and faction plot and missions as well as introducing other players to what their larp faction is all about. Players not in a Herofest larp faction already will be able to visit each faction and see what is on offer. Their will be initiation tests and welcome ceremonies for all new faction members over the course of the event.
If you haven't attended a Herofest larp event yet then this is an ideal chance to come and see what is on offer. For those of you who have already attended a previous event we will have all the usual attractions plus some new and unique additions.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Herofest LARP/LRP Presents 'The Wedding'
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 Larp larping 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 Bloodgar 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 Bloodgar. 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 larp 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 larping event is to give an insight into the system for those that were unable to attend the May Herofest larp 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.

Herofest LARP/LRP Presents 'The Interplanar Fayre'
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 mark@herofest.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 larp 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 larp faction missions will not necessarily be the same. For example two of the larp 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.
