Syconian attack on Oak Hill 1024

What to Expect:

International Con: We have an International Group and therefore host international Cons. Expect most of the Con to be presented in English with plenty of Germans to fill in the blanks.

Salty Stick Tavern: Marik has taken his tavern South to Kahl'hatra to support the soldiers fighting there against the Forsaken. Enjoy drink and a some food (what the Tavern and E.B.Co supplies can ration)
Realm of Roses: The Town of Confluence is located within the Realm of Roses. East Blackwood administers it as a supply and trade port. This means the Con will blend East Blackwood with Realm of Roses decor and feel.
Trouble/Fighting (Plot): Last year at the Oak Hill Festival Lady Anna Katharina von Rabenau married Viscount Gavriil Varontova von Tamgorod but the wedding ended in disaster. Now, war is likely and one should prepare for battle.
More Possible Trouble (Plot): Last year several stories took place throughout the Con from the Brotherhood of the Crescent, to the Syconians to the Wound of Mitraspera. This year, the IT/IC location of the Con has changed and with it the plots that one will likely see and possibly experiance.

Things to Bring:

Blankets and pillows are NOT included so you should bring your own.
Please bring your own IT cups and mugs and feasting gear to eat and drink with.
There are NO onsite pots, pans and other kitchen utensils so please bring your own if you wish to prepare food there.
You should also bring a LARP weapon, perhaps armor as well. You never know if anything may happen and a need of one could be present especially as the setting has changed to an active war-zone. We read some constructive criticism last year and want to rectify that with more combat opportunities.

Cleaning: At the end of the con before you leave, please clean up after yourselves. We will have someone check your huts.

Soft IT Start Time: We will be easing into character and IT play around 17:00.

Special Playable Areas: The playable area boundaries begains at the start of the OT north end of the hut villiage and stretches far into the forest above it. The playable area is large and full of trees and streams. Pedestrians are not permitted within the hut villiage however they can be encourntered on the trails and roads within the forest. More details will come once we know if there is anything new to add.

Please Bring Your Own Cups and Feast Gear: We do have a tavern for you all but not cups, forks, knives etc., for everyone.

Dogs: Allowed! You can bring your dogs at no extra cost!
