Prelude note
(year 2026)

Important Note – Year 1 (2026): Beta Year

The year 2026 marks the official beginning of our game universe, but also a transition year.
The lore presented during this first season will serve to introduce and prepare the full narrative arc of the LARP for the years to come.
Some mechanics, races, and divine elements are therefore present as tests, to ensure solid balance before the final launch.

​

 

Races – Available at Character Creation for the Beta Year

For this first year, all races are accessible at character creation.
They are used as test stat blocks, allowing us to adjust their strengths, weaknesses, and in‑game impact.

Starting next year, races will no longer be selectable at character creation: they will need to be earned in‑game through narrative, quests, rituals, or major events.

This year is therefore a unique opportunity to freely explore these options.

​

 

The God Ebaoon – Unavailable for Now

Although his existence is an integral part of the lore, Ebaoon is not accessible in 2026:

no priests,
no powers,
no rituals,
no direct interaction.

His story remains present in the background, reserved for future use in the main narrative arc.
His exact role will be revealed in the seasons to come.

Races

“When the Old World collapsed, the races burned, the gods froze, and the monsters scattered.
The humans, however, remained. Not because they were strong, but because they were numerous, adaptable, and desperate.
In this new world, they inherited no magic, no ancient blood.
But they inherited the possibility.
And they have enshrined this possibility in their rituals.”

Description: Look at yourself in a mirror. AH! A HUMAN!

Humans

“When the Old World collapsed, the races burned, the gods froze, and the monsters scattered.
The humans, however, remained. Not because they were strong, but because they were numerous, adaptable, and desperate.
In this new world, they inherited no magic, no ancient blood.

And that possibility, they carved into their rituals.”

You…

Orkid (Half-Orcs)

“They were pillars of stone and fire.
Their cries made the mountains tremble, and their fury forged the weapons of the gods.
But when the Old World collapsed, the orcs burned away in their own rage.
Only fragments of their essence survived, buried in volcanoes, in bones, and in forgotten war chants.
Today, those who dare awaken that memory become something else.
They are not orcs.
They are Orkid.”

​

A bone growth (horn, tusks, boar‑like features) and reddish‑toned skin.

Kurat (Semi-Abyssals)

“They were the children of the void, the whispers in dreams, the claws beneath the beds.
The abyssals of the Old World did not live: they prowled.
Born from the nightmares of Veresaun, they fed on fear, desire, and silence.
When the Old World collapsed, they scattered into the shadows.
Today, those who bargain with what prowls become something else.
They are not abyssals.
They are Kurat.”

Skin marked with black (as if permanently stained with soot), and black or grey feathered wings.

Kurat
Valin (Half-Celestials)

“They were the children of oaths, the last echoes of the vanished Celestials.
The Valin of the New World are not born: they rise.
Forged by the light of Valgus or the protection of Kaitse, they carry within them the memory of the sky.
Their skin shines as a reminder, their voices soothe like a promise kept.
Those who walk the path of the Celestials become something else.
They are no longer human.
They are Valin.”

Valin
Väen – Children of the Spirits

“They were the children of the threshold, the footsteps one hears without seeing, the breaths felt at the back of the neck.
The spirits of the Old World did not live: they persisted.
Born from broken memories and unrested dead, they whispered in ruins and in dreams.
When the world collapsed, they remained, clinging to stone and to regret.
Today, those who open their soul to what wanders become something else.
They are not dead.
They are no longer alive.
They are Väen.”

​

 

Description:

Skin veiled as though brushed by mist (pale skin), a gaze that seems to listen more than it sees (black eyes; if no black contacts, dark makeup around the eyes works)… You are no longer entirely alive.

​

 

Minimum Costume Requirement:

Whitish skin, black eyes OR black makeup around the eyes.

Väen
Niline (Draconians)

“They were the guardians of the skies, the voices of storms, the living flames.
The draconians of the Old World carried the echo of dragons—their breath, their pride, their memory.
When the Old World collapsed, the dragons withdrew, and their children fell.
Today, those who forge pacts with the surviving scaled ones become something else.
They are not draconians.
They are Niline.”

Scales along the temples and/or partially across the body, reptilian eyes, a tail, horns, and dragon wings may be displayed. Looking at their hands, one may notice claws.

Visible scales and at least two or three of the following elements: reptilian eyes, a tail, horns, dragon wings. Claws should be visible when looking at the hands.

Niline
Esnaô (Half-Elves)

“They were the voices of the forests, the guardians of clearings, the songs carried on the wind.
The elves of the Old World lived in harmony with the seasons, the stars, and the roots.
When the Old World collapsed, they merged into the trees and scattered into the mists.
Today, those who rediscover their traces become something else.
They are not elves.
They are Esnaô.”

“They were the breaths of the seasons, the veins of the earth, the dancing flames and the singing tides.
The elemental elves of the Old World fused with the primordial forces, embodying the unstable balance of the world.
When the Old World collapsed, their bodies scattered into storms, ashes, waves, and stone.
Today, those who open themselves to these forces become something else.
They are not elves.
They are Elemental Esnaô.”

Skin, hair, and/or eyes marbled with the chosen element (frost, embers, lightning, moss…), hair that seems to move on its own, eyes glowing with elemental energy.

Long pointed ears, plus body hair or tribal tattoos in the color of the chosen element
(fire: red, water: blue, earth: green, air: yellow, light: white, darkness: black).

 

If you want, I can continue with the next race or help you assemble the entire section into a polished, consistent rulebook layout.

Maarne (Half-Fairies)

“They were the messengers of the mists, the laughter in the clearings, the illusions at the edge of dreams.
The fae of the Old World danced between realms, carrying the secrets of the gods and the lies of mortals.
When the Old World collapsed, they scattered into shards of light and forgotten whispers.
Today, those who graft magic into their flesh become something else.
They are not fae.
They are Maarne.”

Tõug (Man-animal)

“They were the trackers of the woods, the howls in the night, instincts incarnate.
The Tõug of the Old World lived between the beating of hearts and the cracking of branches.
Born from pacts between beasts and gods, they hunted down what was not meant to survive.
When the Old World collapsed, they melted into the forests, into the claws, into the fangs.
Today, those who follow the trail become something else.
They're not stupid.
They are Tõug.”
