Date

ConQuest 2024 is a 5-day self-catering tent-con held from 31.07 – 04.08.2024 and takes place around Brokeloh near Hannover.

The regular arrival will be on 31.07.2024. We recommend you to arrive on time, because from the beginning of the game on no cars will be allowed on the grounds and thus you won’t be able to unload near your tent site. The start of the game is after the speech in the camps (Wednesday, approx. 18:30 hrs).

Early arrival is possible from 28.07.2024 12:00 noon.

Parking

Outside the area there are designated parking areas where you can park your cars for the event. There are no parking fees and you can pick up your car at any time to go shopping.

Driving on the grounds and the parking lot with your own vehicles of any kind is at your own risk. The organizer is not liable for damages caused by participants or third parties. The event parking lot is not supervised. There is no liability for theft.

Parking outside the marked parking areas is prohibited. Vehicles parked illegally will be towed away.

The costs (plus 25 € handling fee) will be borne by the vehicle owner.

Loading and unloading of vehicles is only permitted in the loading zones marked by the organizer. The maximum loading time is 10 minutes. If this time is exceeded, the vehicle will also be towed away at the owner’s expense.

Sanitation Facilities

During the event, sufficient toilet and shower containers will of course be provided throughout the grounds, which will be cleaned regularly. Additionally we will set up Dixie toilets. As on every festival, there may be waiting times at the sanitary facilities at certain times. It is very important to think of toilet paper every time you go to the toilets, as we do not provide it.

Live Adventure can only release drinking water after sampling and approval from the health authorities.

Loss of Ticket

If you have lost your ticket, you can simply log into the skald.com and print it out again.

Loss of Wristband

If you have lost your wristband, you can report to the HQ tent, where you will get a new one.

Please bring your identity card and your torn off wristband with you.

Paramedics

The Johanniter paramedics team will be directly on site 24 hours a day.

Don’t be afraid to visit them even for minor health problems like wasp stings, because that’s what they are there for. In case of an emergency, please inform an SL, who will immediately make sure that Johanniter – possibly with an ambulance – can reach you. For this reason, there are rescue routes that must be kept clear to ensure that the ambulance can get through everywhere. Please be aware that every trip back from the hospital or in case of minor injuries from the event area to the hospital has to be organised by yourself. We can only recommend a taxi company that is available at a reasonable price for such a trip.

Waste Disposal

Like last year, we will set up (very large) marked garbage containers at the edge of the site, where you can easily get rid of your garbage.

Please put your garbage into the containers and do not put it in front of them.

Theft

Do not leave valuables unattended, because opportunity makes thieves.
OT theft on LARP is rare, but it is still best to lock away your valuables, e.g. in the car.

Outside delivery at the ConQuest

Deliveries by external service providers are not permitted at ConQuest or any other Live Adventure event.
External service providers who do not have a contractual agreement with the organiser are also not permitted to enter or drive onto the event site.
As the organiser, we reserve the right to enforce this regulation accordingly and to expel the persons concerned from the premises.
Exceptions to this regulation must be clarified with the organiser and approved by him in writing.

Prices
Tickets are available in our ticket shop: SKALD.COM

Player-Participatingfee

Junior-Ticket Participant fee:

Participants from 0 to 6 years do not have to be registered and do not have to pay anything.
Participants between the ages of 7 and 13 pay half of the current player ticket price and must book a Junior Player Ticket.
Please note that in case of doubt you can prove the age of the children at the check-in (e.g. take a copy of your children’s ID card with you).
The junior ticket batch will be consistent with the player batches. Meaning as long as player batch 1 is available, so is junior ticket batch 1 and so on.

NPC-Participating fee 

Social Tickets
We would like to introduce you to our charity tickets. These are especially drastically discounted tickets that are meant for people who cannot afford one of our regular tickets for a variety of reasons. While stocks last, these are available in our shop. 25 people can apply for these tickets right from the start – i.e. be put on a waiting list for them. Once a month, we go through the applications and ask for a short, undefined and informal justification by email. No official proof or anything like that is required. This small hurdle is intended to ensure that these tickets actually end up in the right hands. However, we will not check whether what is written to us is true – we simply trust in the honesty and decency of our participants. So it’s certainly possible to get these tickets by fraud, but hey… that would be pretty… well, you know.
If there are more applications than there are charity tickets, the order will decide. If more than 500 tickets are sold, we will release more charity tickets. For these, the waiting list will start again.
Hopefully this new possibility will make it easier for one or the other to experience a great LARP with us. We are looking forward to seeing you!

ALWAYS NOTE: We strongly advise that when purchasing tickets through 3te, you complete the transfer of tickets and only make payment afterwards.

Transferring tickets, this is how it works:

You can now also transfer tickets directly to other people in our ticket shop skald.com.

To do this, the original purchaser must log into their account in our ticketshop skald.com, then you will find “Tickets” at the top right of the dropdown menu.

There are your tickets and the option to transfer them to other people using an email address (“send” -button).

The recipient must then confirm the ticket transfer in their own Skald.com account.

When buying tickets through 3rd parties, we advise you to complete the transfer of the tickets and only then make the payment.

In the event of problems with tickets, we can help and, if necessary, reverse the transfer.

Skald does not charge any fees for ticket transfers.

In case of ticket problems, please contact info@skald.com directly.

The perfect package for first-timers – The Beginner’s Experience! 

For all those who have just discovered LARP or are traveling the world of Mythodea for the first time, we offer the perfect introduction with the Beginner’s Experience: Workshop+Story. 

In four exciting workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday, even before the official start of the event, you will learn everything you need to know about LARP in general and the world of Mythodea in particular. We will also give you tips and tricks on acting, make-up and safe fighting with foam weapons. 

The story part of the Beginner’s Experience aims to introduce you to the world of Mythodea and the event in a playful way. Think of it as the tutorial level of a video game! 

Ingame, you arrive with our international faction, the Crimson Sails Company, an influential, respected, but somewhat shady organization of merchants and sailors. Unfortunately, you are in debt to this group, so you are sent out to carry out various tasks for the merchants – which means you will get around a lot! 

Always with you is your personal logbook, in which you’ll find your character sheet, various quests, cheat sheets for LARP rules, as well as factions and locations at the event – and plenty of space for notes and pictures! 

No idea what to wear? With the Beginner’s Experience: Garment ticket, you’ll receive a basic outfit to get you ready for your adventure. Details on the garments will follow!

You can find the Beginner’s Experience tickets here: https://skald.com

Early Arrival

As an alternative to regular arrival, you can use the early arrival to get to the site up to three days before the start of the game.

From Sunday to Wednesday there is no game yet, but since many merchants and taverns are already open, you won’t be bored if you come early.

Early arrival is possible from Sunday, 28.07.2024, 12:00 – 21:00

On all other days from 10:00 am.

You can find the early arrival tickets here: https://skald.com

Accommodation is in tents that you yourself bring with you and which are suitable for the ambience of the event. If you don’t have a medieval looking tent, you can camouflage a “normal tent” with linen sheets or nets, so that it no longer looks like a modern day plastic tent. Get advice from experienced players in our forum. Unfortunately we cannot offer central sleeping places, but the last years have shown that many players organize themselves into community tents through our forum. If you don’t know where you can sleep, just have a look there.

Please note in your camp planning that we calculate a maximum of 15m² per participant. This is the total area per quarter, this does not give entitlement for each individual.

The allocation of the tent site is based on the registration for a camp, a quarter or a group. Registration will be possible from spring 2023. Those who have not registered for a specific quarter by then will automatically be allocated to a quarter.

Directions to the ConQuest

ConQuest takes place from 31.07.2024 at the Brokeloh, 31628 Landesbergen, Germany.

For those who arrive by train, the nearest train station is in Nienburg. The bus from there to Brokeloh is line 50, it runs about every hour and takes about 30 minutes.  It is advisable to draw the bus driver’s attention to your destination, otherwise the buses often do not stop in Brokeloh. From there the ConQuest will be signposted.

For many international LARPers, but also for German LARPers, traveling to the ConQuest, setting up the tent and getting ready is associated with a lot of stress.

This is where the“Garrison Inn” tent hotel comes in:

Garrison Inn is your larp camping plug’n’play solution that will make your life easier!

When you book a spot in the tent hotel, you will have a tent put up for you, equipped with a field bed, sleeping bag & access to power and a few more small perks.

Furthermore, the tent hotel is located in the amazing Tross, surrounded by shops, merchants, food stalls, guilds and more, located close to the battlefield and outpost, so in other words, smack in the middle of everything.

And don’t worry about what happens after, you just pick up your garb and gear, and leave the tent to us.

All you have to do then is LARP.

The ConQuest is a self-catering con. In addition, many food stalls in the Tross area offer you a variety of goodies. As an additional service you will find a supermarket directly on the grounds.

Self Catering

All players and NPCs are self-catering. Fires may be lit at designated fireplaces or in fire bowls you brought yourself, (NOT on the ground) at a sufficient distance from the forest or bushes.

Supermarket

Our supermarket on the premises has everything you need. From basic foods such as noodles and rice, meat and sausage products or dairy products to fresh fruit and vegetables or fresh bread rolls, everything is offered here at moderate prices. You can also buy hygiene products and there is also ice cream! It is also possible to order almost everything.

Stalls in the Tross

In addition, there is again the possibility to get a variety of medieval and exotic food at one of the numerous stands in our baggage train. Beyond that, however, the retinue offers even more: Numerous dealers for everything the knight or bard’s heart desires – from armour to drinking cups and all kinds of everyday stuff. In between there are large and small taverns where everything is served that strengthens body and soul after a leisurely stroll or into the early hours of the morning.

Taverns

In the many different taverns on the grounds you can relax with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, hold important meetings or weddings and simply celebrate a little with the right musical accompaniment.

In general there is no age limit at ConQuest. Minors and their guardians are kindly requested to observe the following rules.

Minors in Battles

Parents or guardians of underage participants must always be within reach during battles or combat situations, as well as in the tavern area. Children under the age of 14 are generally not allowed to participate in battles.

The following Rules apply within the Taverns:

Children under 14 years are allowed to stay out till 22:00, teenagers under 16 years until 23:00 and teenagers under 18 years until 24:00.

We reserve the right to expel the parent or guardian and his/her child(ren) from the event if this rule is violated.

Participation Rules for Minors

Participants from 0 to 6 years of age do not need to register and do not have to pay anything.

Participants from 7 to 13 years pay half of the current player ticket price and must book a junior player ticket.

All underage participants need an adult and legitimate supervisor to attend the event and supervise them.

All dogs must be registered for the ConQuest.

For this we have set up a dog ticket in the ticket sales at https://skald.com/

The dog must be checked in with the e-ticket at the check-in.

WARNING

At ConQuest there is an absolute muzzle and leash obligation. In case of non-compliance, the dog owner with the dog will be expelled from the event.
