The main force of chaos in Dragonwood is Lord Maul who is seeking to control the interdimensional portal nexus so that he may use it as the base from which he launches his invasion of the multiverse. Lord Maul seeks wealth and power to ensure his legacy and his infamy and to conquer and control all of the realms of Dragonwood.
Lord Maul sees all uninvited travelers, both intentional and accidental, as threats to his control of his realms and to his larger plan to conquer the multiverse.
Lord Maul himself does not venture from his stronghold. He selects the strongest and most proficient of his minions, recruited from the peoples of his conquered worlds, to lay siege to and destroy any uninvited travelers. This wide-ranging and diverse army means that all adventurers planning to travel to Dragonwood cannot know what awaits them there until the assault begins.
When playing at Silverwood Park, we may go inside the Visitor Center to use the restrooms, take a break from the weather, eat, play tabletop games, talk and hang out, but we do not LARP inside or on the surrounding patio.
Silverwood has granted us a Special Use Permit that allows Nerf and other foam dart blaster playonly inside the Dyers Garden (or as we call it, The Dire Garden).
Silverwood also requests:
We forgo realistic military and law enforcement costumes.
We do not bring our mock weapons inside the Visitor Center.
This includes boffers, foam dart blasters, and all other toys that could be perceived as weapons.
Mock weapons may be stowed in the Cupholder of Doom LARP gear cart, inside your parent’s car, or underneath a bench outside the Visitor Center.
Be sure any gear stowed under a bench does not prevent other park visitors from using that bench as a seat.
We do not play inside the Visitor Center or on its patio.
Tabletop games are allowed, of course. They mean active play.
We remove any masks before entering the Visitor Center.
Any other “potentially scary” costume elements should also be removed before entering the Visitor Center.
Be sure to check out the visual tour of Dragonwood’s Realm of the Silver Elves including our annotated map. The group meets on the Field of Destiny (aka Great Lawn). If it’s windy or rainy, the group might huddle in the lee of the Faraway Leaf Inn (Visitor Center) instead (please gather away from the doors — and please do not play on the patio). If the adventurers get too tired or the weather turns too unpleasant, they might go inside the local tavern (aka Silverwood Café) for refreshing beverages, delicious food, and tabletop games.
