News

Hello everyone, the website has gone through some major updates in the last few weeks. A huge thank you to Ashe, Chelsea, Jess, and Kieran for all their support and help. Buckle up, because this one is a doozy.

• Custom Magic Icons - Visit our Core Concepts page to see some of the custom icons that represent the different elements in Aldwa.
• Game Info - The Costume page has gotten a facelift with the camp selection and some information on playing and perm casting at Chronicles of Ashenfall.
• Updated Costuming information - Check out the overhauled Costume page for the latest weapon rules, what to pack for LARP and say hi to our latest mascot, Sylvan Steve.
• Character Creation Guidelines - Our brand new Character Creation page will give you tips and guidelines for creating a character to fit our story. It also has the process for being Undying or Soulforged!

Character Creation

Within your User Profile you'll now see the ability to create a character! After creation of your character you'll be able to submit a backstory to begin the dialog with our plot team. Much like applications, these will be processed every few weeks so sit tight as we get them in.

Have a Private Question?

You'll see a new channel on Discord called #private-questions! Use this for any questions you may have that you aren't comfortable with the world at large knowing or to submit your application to play Undying or Soulforged! Not sure if something should be private or not? Don't worry! We posted some guidelines to help you out.

Species Information Update

Did you know Mothkin lay eggs? Check out the World Anvil under the World Encyclopedia (or visit each species page on the website and click the link) to see some updated information on each of these species to help you guide your backstory!

Kickstarter Reminder

Kickstarter Ending Soon!! With just 11 hours to go on the Kickstarter, please be sure to double check your pledges, jump in if you'd like to and prepare yourself! There are a host of rewards both in game and out of game that are available and may only be available through the Kickstarter! We're fairly close to the next stretch goal, which may or may not involve projectiles in the form of arrows being added to cast arsenal! :heart: :green_heart: As we get close to closing out, a HUGE shout out to the community for helping us with this. We are beyond excited to get this game underway and eternally grateful for the trust and compassion! :blue_heart: :purple_heart:

Application Approvals

Application Approvals Inbound!! We released the application process on the site prior to building the approval process on the backend so we can get people in there sooner. I'm happy to report the code for approving applications is in review and testing. Ashe and I are at Fury this Saturday (JOIN US!) so there may be some delays. We'll be updating Discord roles in batches ahead of the website update so look out for that and watch your inbox.

Camp Selection and More

Drum up the excitement!! After reviewing several of the available camps in the area, we're happy to announce we've chosen Taber Creek in Union, CT as the home of Mysthaven! I know a lot of people really love the camp and we're excited to bring the world of Aldwa to its stretch of the woods. On top of all that, the contract has been signed and we're looking toward a **November 1st 2024 **first event kickoff date! There is a lot to do between now and then so be prepared for stuff to start coming out fast and furious. Please feel free to reach out to myself or Kieran should you have any questions!!

The guilds of Piccarda were hard at work and are excited to announce Chronicles of Ashenfall is now open to accepting applications. Please create an account and apply to play or cast. There is still some work to do on the backend and we're expecting a little bit of a flood, so please give the team some time to process all of these! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away in the ⁠⁠pre-launch-questions channel! Selecting Cast or Player does not lock you into that choice and more details will be forthcoming on Character Building and Casting policies.

Hello everyone! The team has been hard at work putting together the lore of Aldwa for you to enjoy! From the people of the Vault to the horrifying jatzir, there is a host of information getting ready to be released. To help manage all that, we'll be using a tool called World Anvil to document and present. Pelolia Lore Drop Hello everyone, it is with great excitement I can announce the release of our World Anvil and first cultural release, Pelolia! You can find the World Anvil link here or at the bottom of our website homepage. Check out the new Cultural page and be sure to check out Pelolia on the Cultures Page

Kickstarter Reminder

And just a friendly reminder our Kickstarter still has some things to pick up and we are inches away from our next stretch goal!

Happy Monday And Post-LARP Recovery! I hope everyone had a great time at Fables of the Frontier, Travail and celebrating Easter this past weekends! The lands of Discord may have been quiet but the work did continue on. We are excited to announce a much anticipated teaser release this weekend which we hope to be the first of many in the coming weeks. The team has been hard at work putting this together and I hope everyone can see and feel the love they've put into this. Without further ado, introducing The Rules Teaser

Our Kickstarter is preparing to go live! Starting a LARP takes serious funds, and we’re asking for your help to make this the best LARP it can be. Of course, you’ll receive more than a hearty handshake for your help. Rewards include in-game bonuses, swag, art prints, and even a professional TTRPG campaign set in the world of Ashenfall! We are so thankful to this community for believing in us and for giving us the opportunity to make something wonderful. Stay tuned for updates as this will be here before you know it

We’re so excited to bring this new game to life. Our team is hard at work writing rules, crafting lore, choosing design aesthetics–and oh, building a website! We’re hoping to host our first event sometime in Fall 2024 or Spring 2025. You can check here for more updates, or join us on our Discord server to stay in the loop. In the meantime, you can tide yourself over by taking a look at all the world of Aldwa has to offer.
