The Shattersong LARP Diaries

The Vines - Interview w/ Merlyn & Finn

The Vines are the new kids on the block when it comes to Navarri battlefiend strategy.. but what ARE they? Join Finn, Merlyn and myself as we discuss the Vines, their job, battlefield healing and the perfect way to catch eggs!

One Last Song - Winds of War, Winter YE384

The whole of the Navarri nation shakes as secrets of their past are revealed within the foul miasma of Broceliande... 

Burning - Winds of War, Winter YE384

Ever wondered;

How many boats it takes to bring down an institution?

Just how spikey do spike traps need to be?

Is Mithril really worth 5Th?

Just how many slavers did the Empire kill in Rachensgrab?

If the answer to any of the above is yes, listen on!

[This is mandatory listening if you want to be a salty sea dog]

The Lonely Hour - Winds of War, Winter YE384

The Barrens are laid bare by the relentless assault of the Druj. Can the Imperials hold?

Will the Eternals keep their promises and come to the aid of the Empire?

Finally, a Druj army approaches under an unrecognised banner...

Fire on Fire - Winds of War, Winter YE384

The Winds of War billow once more. This time they batter the remaining Druj in Zenith as the armies of Dawn and Highguard close in...

No Peace - Winds of War, Winter YE384

The battlefields of Kahraman are soaked once more, but who's blood is it?

Character Death

"Lo', behold the corpses of the slain. A thousand stories ended in a day and a thousand more created in a single stroke" ~ Some geezer, probably, after Wintermark got smashed by the Jotun again.

Character death sucks, but death is not the end. There are stories to tell and legends to create! Join me as we explore a few ways to make your actions echo in eternity...

Business Ideas

Welcome to 2023, the year of prosperity (we hope) in the Empire!

Join me as we delve into the rich business world of Anvil, the pillars that prop up the economy and the niche traders that can spin a ring into hundreds of thrones...

Navarri Battlefield Drip

Want to look dashing in front of your comrades? Want to be noticed by your senpai? Want to take costume tips based entirely on my biased and unprofessional opinion?

Well, you're in the right place.

Larp Archery - Is it fun?

It's your favourite archer (and dastardly crossbowman) Lindir/Ban again. Today we've got an episode on larp archery, what it's like and how to get into it yourself. If you've ever thought "I like the idea of being an archer, but it looks complex and expensive" then this is the guide for you!

Myths & Legends of Anvil

Have you heard the tale of the Hedge Knight? Has a Senator said "I'll be right back" in response to your query? Well, you're not alone citizen! Join myself and the lore-master Rhys as we delve into what is bullshit, and what is just regular shit, on the Anvil rumour mill...

The Thrice Cursed Court

Callous, spiteful and filled with rage. The Thrice Cursed Court are an Eternal unlike any other. Masters of curses, despicable deals and unspeakable acts... what will be the price you pay for the strength to overcome your foes?

How on earth does magic work?

"So I can spend half the crystal mana if I master the... lore?"

"No."

"I've not got a clue mate. Start again"

I found ritual magic really difficult to understand from the tidbits I overheard on the Anvil field. Thus, like any good academic, I went off and did some reading! Join me for a quick episode covering the mechanics of battle magic and rituals.
