Havenite - Basic Costume

If you decide to play a native of Strangehaven rather than one of the many myriad character options available in Shards, this may help you to decide what to wear.

A typical Havenite should wear costume styled on historical European clothing from periods known as the the Dark Ages through to Medieval. Havenites who have travelled and visitors have brought with them new fashions and ideas throughout the ages. These have been incorporated into their style of dress, so feel free to add eccentric touches to the costume which may have been all the rage somewhere... once.

A couple of samples are shown here, from the most basic such as a simple shirt paired with some stretchy leggings to fitted woolen hose, doublet and all the trimmings.

For other ideas try the Viking Village we use http://www.murtonpark.co.uk/html/dark_age_village.html perhaps this link may help http://www.vikingsna.org/norsa/kit/kitlinks.htm#1 or keep reading here for more links.

What's Strangehaven about?

Stangehaven is best described as falling somewhere between Twin Peaks, Lost and Northern Exposure but set in an isolated island community.

Set in a classic high fantasy world with costume options ranging from dark ages through to early 19th century.

Fully interactive, player led, non-linear story lines with an emphasis on interpersonal roleplay.

Small player group with high crew ratio will ensure there is plenty of plot for everyone, whether you attend one event or manage to make all four.

24 hour time in, from 10pm on Friday evening until Sunday midday.

Roleplay is a must to get the best out of these events which will be low combat and high intrigue in nature. Players will be encouraged to use all the skills in their repetoire, so bring along your brains as well as your swords and be careful not to upset the locals!

While Strangehaven is intended to be a standalone game, it does link into the main Shards campaign fitting seamlessly into the Shards world background presenting opportunities to explore the rest of this extensive gameworld.

Accomodation is self-catering in dark ages style huts sleeping on raised wooden pallets. Ticket cost is £50 per event, with discounts available for those who book onto all four events or are first time players.
