Solarean Adventures LARP Lore
Solarean Adventures LARP is designed to be highly player-driven.
The goal of Solarean Adventures’ lore is to provide a very general skeleton of the history, local geography, and religions that shape the fantasy world in which our games take place. The following is an outline of this lore. If you want an in-depth look at the lore, you can explore this page: Lore - Expanded.
You absolutely do not need to have all of this memorized in order to attend your first event. A general understanding of the rulebook and a positive attitude are the most important things to play the game! If you want to know just enough to exist in the world, we recommend going through the items at the bottom of this page. They can also be found through the first five Lore tabs in the dropdown menu that appears when you hover over or press "Campaign - Solarean Adventures" or what can be referred to the "core lore."
The following core lore has been developed to prioritize player creativity and allow both new and veteran players to tell their own stories and create their own experience. The magical effects of this world are purposefully left mysterious and unpredictable to enable our players to create races, cultures, and countries as varied as their imaginations.
While our lore establishes the world’s two most widespread religions and the pantheon which currently hold the most power, the ways in which people of our world worship are as varied as their local cultures and customs. As you read, you will discover systems in place to create your own local gods, ancestor spirits, and other spiritual forces. Likewise, the local geography of our in-game world is well defined to allow for immersive gameplay and plotlines, but the rest of the world is waiting for players to fill it in! Use this lore as a guidebook, but know that you are in charge of creating and becoming the hero of your own story.
Please note that while oppressive elements do exist in the world’s history, the core lore is designed to present a current world which is free of fantasy tropes like the enslavement of particular races under others, genocide, or widespread oppression based on race, gender, sexuality, and the like. Please note that while your character may have experienced hardship and trauma in their past, all Lost & Found Studios LARPs are committed to never engaging with the topics of sexual violence, violence against children, or transphobia at our events, in our roleplay spaces, or within our lore documents. This is an 18+ LARP, but we are committed to maintaining trauma-informed gaming spaces that everyone can enjoy safely.
Special thanks to all of our players who have contributed to the lore and our stories throughout the years!
