The inhabitants of the island Noiris: families

On the island Noiris live 54 families at the moment, all with their own Head of the family. Aside from this, every family has their own Heir Apparent, the favorite son or daughter, who holds the second highest authority within the walls of the home. Families are usually very close knit groups that are held accountable as a unit.

Costumes

We will post some inspiration pictures in the coming months. But do think of simple costumes made from natural materials. Medieval working class inspired.

The inhabitants of the island Noiris: priests

The priests are the most important people on the island. The priests are the confidantes on the island, the guides and the example of how you should behave. They know better than anyone how to best please the goddess Noirith. They will inspire others to make the right offerings. Or they will offer themselves paying for the islanders' missteps. They maintain the balance between Noirith and the islanders.

The priests are the only ones who can hear what Noirith says. This means that they have an important role in communicating her wishes. For the inhabitants of Noiris it is very important to talk with the priests. They trust the priests and they entrust a lot of their sorrows and doubts to them because they know Noirith knows everything about them already.

Off-game, players playing a priest also get the freedom to decide what they do or don't hear from Noirith. What you hear in-game obviously does not have to be the same as what you say in-game. You have the space to play with this.

The inhabitants of Varr Annor (invited foreign groups)

These are player characters who have already played at other events. They will play the two foreign groups invited to the Trials of Torment.

The first group is played by the organizers of this larp. They are the friends of the foreign healer Yllayra, who is currently staying on Noiris to help. They come with three Omani elves and their friend Rauron. The reason they come to the Festival of First Seeds is because they have heard that through this festival they may be offered the opportunity to find some tribe members who have been lost. They have no idea what to do to make this wish come true, but they don't want to miss this opportunity.

The second group is played by a group of players led by Juna. The Empress of the Cendara Empire has sent them on a special mission. They do not want it to be known on the island of Noiris that they have come to the island from the Cendara Empire. They are going to pose as the invited group from Wokai Island. They will do anything not to be exposed. They know Yllayra's group of friends well, but they will not show this during the festival.
