What is Elzwehn?

From the Annals of Lucius the Recorder
Elzwehn is our world, and more. From tales of mystic travelers, there are a multitude of worlds in existence, and ours is merely one of many. Elzwehn, however, encompasses all of them.


From what we have learned, the realms of Elzwehn are worlds of danger, mystery, and adventure. They are worlds where monsters run amok, and brave heroes halt their predations. Where stalwart adventurers shape the destiny of kingdoms and the fate of civilizations. Where a sharp sword or arcane power can win fortune and glory.

In the Mundane World
In the world of 21st century Earth, Elzwehn is a setting for our live-action roleplaying (LARP) group. We are based in Broward County, Florida, USA.

Elzwehn is an official chapter of Way of the Sword Combat Sports, although we use a somewhat modified version of their rules. 

Our rules modifications serve two purposes.
  • Reduce the physicality of the game. Changes include
    • Banning head shots, shield bashing, and grappling
    • Lowering the hit calibration, which means you don’t need to swing as hard to register a hit
  • Create a more immersive roleplaying experience. Changes in the works include
    • Adding basic character classes
    • Emphasizing the use of garb
    • Running "lore" battles, which are part of an ongoing campaign that adds to an evolving storyline
If you are in our local area, we invite you to visit and try our game. For meeting dates and time, visit our Facebook page or Meetup group.
If you live too far away, we hope you follow our blog and see what we’re up to. Feel free to borrow our ideas for your own LARP games.
