Duke Guaicaipuro

In the 1560s during the birth of Spanish invasion into the region that is now known as Colombia, the Conquistadors came into Muisca territory looking for Gold. They saw the heir to the Cacique cover himself in gold dust and sail out into lake Guaitavita, and the Musica dump offerings of gold into the sacred lake. This ritual would later inspire the legend of El Dorado. During this age of atrocity, the conquistadors murdered Guaicaipuro’s son for a gold bracelet he wore on his wrist.
Before Guaicaipuro could commit suicide the Spaniard Arias Carreño, with a pale face and dead eyes, lifted him out of lake Gautavita. “You owe me a life debt.” Guaicaipuro’s life was changed in an instant. No one knows why Arias turned him, and Guaicaipuro never really asked. A century later, once free of him, he never spoke of his sire again.
Now lord of his former sire’s estate, in Spain, he amassed great wealth and status. Growing bored he became a sort of nomad. Many years later he went to the Island of Ireland. There he met Forliath, who became his traveling companion and eventually his consort. They ruled a small village, and then a county, for many decades.
After many years they heard rumors of a portal in the north that led to a new land. They traveled through and found the land to be very profitable, and abundant. They built up their new estate here and stayed for many years. When they tried to return to Ireland they found that the way was closed. They have been on Shiandria’s Western continent for over eight centuries now. Moving when needed but always building up a strong powerbase. Now they are in the Dawn Lands and creating spawn and familiers to better serve them in their endeavors.
It is rumored that Guaicaipuro may be the oldest Vampire in existence in the Dawn Lands. Many scholars, at least those that actually know the truth of his existence which is few, even surmise that he may be the original sire of all current Vampires.

What is an NPC

If you’d like to play, but want to reduce costs, then you can sign up as an NPC or Monster. If you choose to play as an NPC or monster, you may be given a role (perhaps more than one). You can specify a combat or non-combat role. You don’t have to choose a class and culture as an NPC, we will choose one for you. You will receive double experience points, standard starting gold, and are eligible for Royalty Points. You will also get an entry at half price.

THE PURPOSE

Monsters, NPCs, and Staff allow the LARP to run smoothly and help players who don't know exactly what they want to play, or that want to help, and/or need help with discounts to take part in the LARP.

The BIG Difference

between an NPC and an Adventurer is that an NPC’s primary job is to help the story move forward and to help players. NPCs fill jobs like healers, essential townsfolk roles, etc.
