Setting and Themes
Shadows during a nightly Dream Scene.
Simbelmyne was set in Tolkiens Middle-Earth, in Northern Rhovanion 500 years before the War of the Ring, and focused on the Éothéod, ancestors of the Rohirrim. Thematically the larp was about honor and the good and evil in mens hearts.
Summary
The yearly midsummer council was convened to elect a new Thegn, a chieftain for the Aethelingas and Maelingas family lines, since the old Thegn died recently. What was supposed to be a happy occasion turned sombre and dark as lies, broken oaths and foul murder came to light.
