Enclave Story Team are happy to announce that we have a date for our next Fable! Set in the luscious forest continent of the Courtlands, we invite you to a day of parlour LARP as we celebrate the 'Festival of Renewal'. If you enjoy parlour LARP, ritual magic, social deduction and being a little bit sneaky, you won't want to miss this instalment! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kXbrwrIlz8 Get ready for the Festival of Renewal using the Player Guide, and learn more about the E

Players receive their safety breifing before The Enclave's first story event, Fable 1: Morrow's Pass Winter roses, freshly grown By Octagonal Remnants they were sown Raiders rest in final sleep Below the blankets of ice and snow. Captain Hauger may indeed rest But Octagonal Remnants are wise to know Raider eyes may still yet watch As cornered wolf eyes blaze aglow. Zaharghund nobles journey home, Burdened with more than ink and quill Armoured rats infect the land Greedy and h

Out story team has re-visited the Spirelands and home of the Kaj-Tul Empire. Once again, please be advised that themes of extreme violence and slavery are part of this Kaj-Tul story. It began as these things always do - with a cacophony of steel, and the smell of blood. The warlord's forces descended upon the small Spirelands town. It was too small for most maps, little more than a village. Yet big enough to fill the warlord's coffers. Forces clad in rusty chainmail thunde

As kids, fables were short stories we heard to help us understand the world. This is exactly what The Story Team are looking to achieve with Enclave Fables events, but instead of just hearing a story you'll get to be part of how it plays out. Fables are short form events designed to spotlight a specific House, event, or location in The Enclave. Rather than bringing every House and Character together at the same time every time, Story Team will work with a smaller group of Ho

You've attended your first Game of Enclave. Welcome! We're thrilled you decided to join us. But we know that some people might find that one rodeo isn't quite enough to know everything. That's fine: your first LARP can be a big experience and there's a lot of new information to process. That's why we've to put together some advice on what to do before your next game. Graduating from New Player Training If you feel like you need to run under the guidance of the New Player Trai

Our final instalment in the Empire Spotlight Series. Rumours that something new stirs in the jungles of the Dredgelands have began to spread. Unfortunately nobody has gotten close enough to find out what; Or rather, none have returned to tell of it. Tale: Something Strange in Harpers Rest The crew of the Spiteful Salamander were a hardy bunch. They’d sailed the seas of the Enclave together for years. They’d faced monstrous storms, the kinds that shook castles to their founda

This is the third entry in our series of short stories designed to give you taste of the larger factions that occupy The Enclave, and will no doubt shape the lives and stories of the player Houses. Want to be part of the story? Join us on Friday for our weekly games and join the Community Discord. Repudiation’s Consequences Though it lacked the same manner of wild and dangerous beasts as other Continents, the Rimeland's mountain range still posed a deadly threat to those wh

Authored by Andy, who started LARPing in 2023 Edited by Reece Photos from Crone's Chronical Having started LARPing only one year ago, and having several of my friends join me over the past year, I thought it’d be useful to compile all our questions and tips for coming along to Enclave for your first Friday night LARP experience! The basics are simple. Register beforehand here, turn up to JJ Holland at 7pm in your sturdiest running shoes and in clothes you could exercise and m

The second entry in our series of Empire Spotlight stories has arrived, this time featuring the Chain Makers of the Spirelands: The Kaj-Tul. TW: the Kaj-Tul claim victory though horrible acts of violence and slavery: please be aware this story reflects those themes. Further information about the world lore can be found via the Quick Links Tab. __________________________________________________________________________________ Tale: The Taking of Lorkan It wasn't the cloud of d

Some of the best LARP memories are formed at the long form events, where LARPers come together and spend up to a week at a time fully immersed in our story. It would be impossible to spend this much time without the excellent venues and camping locations that host our long form events. One of the sites that holds such fond memories is Mafeking Rover Park, a long running favourite location for multiple different LARPs over the last decade. Mafeking Rover Park, its staff and ra

The Enclave Story Team have been hard at work creating a series of short stories to give a sneak peek of the themes and attitudes of each Empire. Further information about the world lore can be found via the Quick Links Tab. __________________________________________________________________________________ Tale: The Ruins of Slán It was well known in the hamlet of Slán the unusual nature of the Wyldwoods. Just beyond their fields, the wall of thick oaks and elms loomed like a

Battle sport such as Enclave LARP can be an exciting and thrilling adventure, and most will delight at the idea of swinging a sword and getting stuck into a melee with their friends. But we at Enclave Battle LARP make a point of inclusivity in our games; being in the thick of battle can be intimidating for some, or maybe a player just doesn't want to get right into the physicality of the game for various reasons. Maybe you're recovering from an injury, or have a medical condi

Enclave Battle LARP is now two months old! Since our launch night, Enclave's players have been familiarising themselves with the game rules and organisation, finding their feet in the community, and strengthening their battle skills, friendships, and their fabulous team aesthetics. At Enclave, players form into teams called Houses, and each with different themes, colours, aesthetics and stories. Some of our players have come from previous LARP games with existing armour and w

Running a LARP is a lot of work, and as our community has seen in the past, when more people that put up their hands to help out, everything runs a whole lot easier and smoother. What's involved in Volunteering at Enclave LARP? Volunteering to help at Enclave means being part of one of the many teams that help run the game each Friday. Being a contact sport, Enclave LARP needs to ensure we are using equipment safely, playing the game safely and fairly, and having medically tr

THANK YOU! Thank you to everybody who attended our launch night on Friday. It was an incredible night, and we appreciate the effort from all of our community members working with sign in, AEW, refs, and honestly just for showing up. We also appreciate our community volunteers who helped make last night happen. We are in equal parts humbled by the support our team has received up to this point, and excited to see what amazing things we can achieve in Enclave Battle LARP’s futu

The earth beneath you heaves. The air feels ready to crack. A world is ending. But something else finds you first. A teal mist rises from the ground, encompassing you with a promise of hope. A chance to go on: perhaps not as you are, but maybe something new. Some of your companions accept. Others choose to remain. Will you answer The Enclave’s Call? --- The thing you’ve all been waiting for is finally here, and I can’t tell you how excited we are for you to discover the world

Enclave Battle LARP’s Launch night is almost upon us, and we’re excited to see you there! Since this is our first game, we’ll need to run things a little bit differently to accommodate the fact that this is a new organisation with new rules and policies. Sign in opens at 7pm, and Games will run from 8pm - 10pm on Friday evenings. Game price is $15 or free for new LARPers. AEW will be on site from 6:30 until 7:30 to check player gear this event. ALL gear must be checked before

Hello to our LARP friends, both local and from far away! We are very excited to announce that Enclave Battle LARP is proud to announce the date of our first game, on Friday the 23rd of May, 2025. The organisers are working tirelessly to get everything all set up in the back end, making sure we have everything in place ready for us to hit the ground running (literally) on our first game back. We're coordinating volunteers, updating game rules, obtaining permits and insurance,
