It is the winter at the start of 500AD, in the country of Dumnonia. Many things have occurred since the defeat of the Irish King Benen and his manipulative Druid Ungus. Firstly, in the summer of 499AD Lord Wolgen and Princess Ursula were proclaimed King and Queen of Dunchad, and have since reaffirmed the alliance with Dumnonia. Secondly, there has been increasing unrest and even riots in the towns and cities of Dumnonia. Certain groups of Christians have instigated this conflict against the Pagans. Rumours suggest that these Christians aim to rid the country of all Pagans in preparation for the second coming of Christ, which they believe will occur in 500AD. As if this conflict between countrymen was not enough, there have been many reports that at least three armies have been massing on the borders of Dunchad and Dumnonia. These armies are thought to be under the command of the Saxon King Aelle, the Germanic King Cerdic and his son Prince Cynric. Lord Protector Arthur has summoned his warlords to a winter war council, where he must make hasty plans to defend a fragmented and already war torn Dumnonia against what seem to be insurmountable odds. Is Dumnonia doomed? Event Information A fighting orientated LRP event, based on the "Warlord Chronicles" (The Winter King, Enemy of God & Excalibur) written by Bernard Cornwall. You are invited to play a character that has become involved in this war at the sharp end of the conflict. All players are part of a military alliance between Dumnonia and Dunchad. This alliance has been set, what seems to be, the impossible task of defending its lands against a massive Saxon invasion. |

say this weekend was about the most fun non-mass event I have attended
in a very long time... Well just to add my 5 cents...
Well, thanks to the mercenaries for the pictures they took during
the event, they are a happy reminder of all the atmosphere, pleasant
time, blood and gore we experienced during the week end. I wanted to thanks you again, you and all the
organisators, for this week-end. It was fantastic, really.
It was my first one and I really enjoyed it. What can I say ? Except that for my 1st LRP in
England, it will become 1 of my greatest memory in my LRPlayer life... |
