#concord larp

Bodil Gudrun pictures!!!

Gotta love concord larp.

I also put little doodads and trinkets in my hair hopefully I’ll have more in next time. But yeah we have a bit of a kit upgrade and I’m sure there’ll be even more next time. Got a few comments saying I look Andash tho so maybe I’ll try adding heavier fabrics and try be more Viking than pirate.

feyruz was really fun to play, very different from thorn (my vtm larp character). feyruz feels a wider range of emotions, and more intensely, and their compassion is more genuine. I usually don't play religious characters, but considering the spheres are directly observable and provable, feyruz follows them quite naturally, so I gave feyruz a minor crisis of faith. it was interesting. didn't get resolved, but I might look into making them a priest as well, to heal the spiritual wounds of others as well as the physical.

we cried twice for teapot, once when feyruz was told she was terminal/when we came in to see her, and once when she finally let go. despite only meeting her at the medical summit and being with her for 2 and a bit days at summit, as an andashi sister; fellow surgeon; and all-around vibrant and kind person, she meant a lot very quickly. feyruz got a tattoo from our priest of the needle friend to remember her by. she filled all our cups.

the hospital team was really welcoming and kind, they felt like home. we spent a lot of time at the hospital tent because of this, even when we were not facing an influx of injuries from a conflux. when I had my breakdowns, I had to repeatedly find friends to tell me to rest before going back, I wanted to help so badly. in the end, feyruz participated in 5 surgeries (4 of which it led, and all of which were successful), and was put in charge of organising a portion of the triage team for one conflux as well. I'm really proud of making it to the end, and of getting so much done, and the hospital team was proud of me too.

daud suggested trapping the enemy army and starving them to death in a magic labyrinth and feyruz was standing there quietly horrified, especially as their mentor in obregon has been incredibly stressed and overworked with the wells rendering people dehydrated or trees.

also, today they befriended one to two very important wealdsages, one of whom liked them enough to give them a protection charm and the other of whom explained what that gesture meant. it means 3 things:

I do not wish to cause you harm

I wish that whatever harm may come to you comes instead to the charm

I wish to see you again

concord is a western australian fantasy weekender larp set in the world of esterra. it features an alliance of various realms, heroes coming together for the betterment of those it protects. some are fighters, some politicians, some priests or mages, some merchants, and some surgeons and menders.

this blog currently follows doctor feyruz el'andash (they/them), an andashi surgeon working with the passage field hospital. feyruz has been a surgeon for over a decade, and had attended game hen and a medical seminar prior, but G10 was their first time at passage.

this is not an in-character blog, and it may feature aesthetic posts on occasion, as well as updates on events after they've been attended and commentary on the situation/winds/what's happening online. it may also delve into medical topics more generally, as they are relevant (though there won't be irl pictures of surgery), but such things will be tagged.
