==Plotlines==

Mythological and religious elements would in the early years still be 30-50% of the plotelements available for the characters to explore.
Characters would be normal people in an historic age, and their beliefs and superstitions would come to life through different technology and techniques in use by the organisers while the game unfolded.
==Preparations==

The evening before the start of the larp participants would decorate their living quarters, get into costumes, make food and be only partly playing their characters. They might do last minute practice of names of related characters. Individually people would be testing the way of talking [[in-character]], and often practice common songs related to the [[diegesis]] or the the overall [[genrè]] of the larp. More importantly participants would discuss routines like when to wake up, dishwashing, fetching water, maintaining the fire, foodmaking and establish time and reponsibility for common meals and other practical matters. An organiser would oversee this and balance it with the [[Scheduling]] and the [[Storyarc]] of the larp.
