A very short summary of the
current plot of Malcontenta
The old empire, Novion, has existed for
three thousand years. Four kingdoms were
able to keep some of their sovereignty
when the empire was founded. The larp
takes place in the northeastern one, Nordeport.
These days the empire is slowly
falling apart.
The Emperor is bewitched or just deceived
by the Empress, who is apparently using
black magic to get even more power. The
very young King of Nordeport has declared
that he breaks his oath of fealty to
the Emperor. The elves, hated and feared,
supported him in this decision, giving him
the ancient crown of Nordeport, created
by elves thousands of years ago. This has
caused a lot of conflicts between his subjects,
some of them supporting the King,
some the Emperor. The Emperor stands
ready to strike back, planning to take Nordeport
by force as soon as the very hard
winter becomes spring. Some say that the
winter is sent by the Goddess of Water
and will last forever.
Meanwhile, the nobles try to get as many
advantages as possible from the King or
the Emperor in these times of change.
Some of them are happy just to keep
their head, others want to get more land
or honorable titles. The story continues…
