Introduction

Welcome to the world of Burning Elf. This is a high-fantasy themed live action roleplaying game (LARP) inspired by Gaelic, Celtic, Norse, and Greek mythology. The rules for the game have been adapted from the Games of Adventure (GOA) Age of Prophecy (AOP) system, but are tailored for a one-day adventure. The costuming theme spans from Lord of the Rings, to Faerycore, to Berserk, and everything in-between.

Rather than the traditional character creation process and selection amongst the four character classes (Warrior, Priest, Rogue, Wizard), Burning Elf instead will introduce the concept of Archetypes and Factions. Archetypes represent pre-constructed character templates and allow for a wide variety of fantasy clichés without the burden of having to learn how to optimize character point selection. Each Faction has four Archetypes as depicted here:

Tuatha De Danann (The Folk)	Seelie Court	Unseelie Court
Druid	Wood Elf	Redcap
Yeoman Hunter	Sylph	Troll
Shaman	Gnome	Goblin
Peasant	Dwarf	Spriggan

While each faction exists in this realm together, they are not all necessarily aligned. The Seelie Court, representing summer and bounty, are generally a benevolent force. While typically friendly toward The Folk, they do sometimes take advantage of the mortals and are known for playing tricks on them. Likewise, as the kindred of the Unseelie Court, they hold no animus against their faery cousins and on occasion will even act in unison. The Unseelie Court, representing winter and loss, are often at odds with The Folk and take pride in raiding their treasures whenever they can. This often leaves the Tuatha De Danann on a defensive footing, and while not opposed to seeking aid from the Seelie Court, it is typically performed with reticence.
