Club COVID Safety Standards - Updated 08/05/21 The management team has reviewed our existing COVID-19 safety policy and below are the current standards as of 08/05/21 (August 5th 2021). These standards will change to reflect CDC guidelines and NJ COVID Safety Guidelines as needed. We want to keep our club members as safe as possible as we move into our weekend LIVE events in 2021. The following policies apply to all members of the club - PCs and NPCs alike. Mask Wearing At this time, for anyone who wants the option to go without a mask at our LIVE games, you must provide proof of being fully vaccinated. There are 2 ways to do this: 1) You fill out this secured form and upload a picture of your filled out COVID-19 vaccination card: https://forms.gle/C4hbo2Z3ASCNMBaG7 OR 2) You provide proof at check-in to Logistics, who will document this in person. Once you are confirmed to be fully vaccinated, you will receive a wristband at check-in and will have the option to LARP without a mask. If you are not fully vaccinated at this time or did not provide proof of being fully vaccinated, you are still required to wear your mask. You can also continue to wear a mask while you are fully vaccinated if you prefer. Currently CDC recommends you wear a mask indoors. Sleeping Indoor sleeping in the Inn is not permitted.

Part 1 of 6 In-Game Date: 26 Junis 1021 Age of Order Location: Former Inn at Evermoore Summary: Gertrude and Daniel Willowby visit the Inn at Evermore and make a discovery. Gertrude Willowby led her son, Daniel Willowby down the overgrown trail toward the Inn at Evermore. Her breath came in ragged gasps. She coughed and wheezed, but continued on hoping the rumors were true. Two weeks ago, they had come from the Dale. Traveling through the East Pass as the last of the snows melted. Walking passed the monuments erected memorializing the fight that had taken place there between the Guildsmen of Evermore and the invading Asgarn army that had ravaged the Dale not so long ago. They had stopped first at Willowby Farms to see how the community continued to prosper, but she did not dally long. Time was of the essence, so they hurried to the Inn, reaching the crossroads just before evening. “We’re almost there.” Gertrude wheezed, her lungs aching. Every step was agony. “Will we see Guildsmen?” the boy asked, worriedly. Gertrude tried to ease his mind. “Guildhall closed the Inn more than a year ago. There is no one here. It’s just a boarded up building and overgrown grounds.” Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. Her son was a headstrong lad, and he had clashed with the Guildsmen of Evermore as they mediated the dispute between Willowby Farms and the Kravynn living in the Wyld Wood. Everything worked out, but Daniel still harbored concerns. All that was in the past now. The Inn was closed. Most of the Guildsmen were gone. Daniel gasped suddenly, and his hand drifted to his sword. Something had caught his attention. His eyes opened wide. Gertrude followed along the path of her son’s gaze, and then jerked him to a halt. Ahead, the Field of Solnus sparkled, shimmering goldenrod in the sunlight. “The rumors are true.” She said. Daniel looked confused, as he often did, so she explained. “The holy places have not sparkled this brightly since the Age of Life.” “We should go back.” “No, Daniel,” she whispered, awe weighing down her voice. “We must go forward. The world is growing again. Just like the ancient statue in our orchard.” “The marble apple tree? The one that began bearing marble fruit again?” “That is the one.” She said, remembering the beautiful tree, and how their hearts had swelled with hope at the sight. Daniel pulled his sword from its scabbard. “If we must go on, stay close, Mother.” Gertrude moved to her son and laid a hand on his arm. “We go together, my son.” They walked side by side up the sandy trail. The Inn came into view. Planks of wood had been nailed over the doors and windows. A faded sign announced. “Until further notice: the Inn at Evermore is closed by Order of the Council of Lore. No market shall be held. No person shall approach.” Around the Inn, nature had begun to reclaim the land. The building itself was covered with vines. A giant bear moved in the trees behind the Inn pulling berries from overburdened bushes. A black raven as large as a person perched on the roof. It cawed once and took flight. “This place looks totally different,” Daniel said. Gertrude barely had breath to speak. “Nature always re-claims the land.” A wolf howled in the distance. Daniel tight
