Copy of Home | Dawn At Kaer Seren

INSPIRED BY THE WITCHER

Dawn at Kaer Seren is an immersive role-play adventure (larp) inspired by the world of The Witcher.

The year is 1235. Humans of the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire have been at relative peace for the past generation. Fergus var Emreis (Emhyr’s father) is the Emperor of Nilfgaard, and Radovid IV reigns over Redania. Lara Dorren’s death took place 93 years ago and the war that followed instilled racial tension between humans and elves that continues on till this day.

Sorceress Triss Merigold has called for a council of the northern rulers, which brought their nobles and advisors to Kaer Seren, the Griffin Witchers Castle, to discuss a somber prophecy that has come to light and which may threaten the very fabric of society. Word of the gathering has spread across the entire Continent, so it is not surprising that it will attract a variety of individuals trying to influence the negotiations in their favor. Soon it may dawn on the hosts that they have bitten off more than they can chew in their efforts to ensure peace.

CHARACTER TYPES

Royalty

Being a royal character means wielding great power and responsibility. All governing decisions are in their hands, but it comes at a price. Royalty always has to remember that everybody is watching them and judging their every move. Choosing the right words, showing impeccable posture, keeping up a façade of strong resolve, it all ensures that the lower classes know that you are the right person to put their trust in. Royalty is quite isolated from other classes and usually mingle with them through proxy. One has to be aware of the consequences if one is caught red handed breaking any rules.

Their lives are always in danger, so a net of spies and informators, and loyal guards are essential for their survival. Especially in the presence of royalty from other countries.
