Owen and Bobby’s heavy metal bands first recital. More songs to come!

In the realm of Helheim there is a town named D’Eirstad. It has been there for 419 years. The people of D’Eirstad are the exiled remnant of the Hellion Empire. The Empire originated in a realm they remember as Myth’gar, and they arrived in Helheim through a gate to the west of the town. The gate has been dormant since their arrival. On Skyld 15th 419 A.F. the gate will open again.

With great reluctance I have come to the realization that the problems of the real world are determined to interrupt our plans for our world of make believe. I.E. the Myth Wood.

My place of employment has determined that I am an essential worker. What that means for me is that I will need to be in Alaska for the spring and better part of the summer. What that means for the Myth Wood is that I must cancel the April Tournament, as well as the June and July events. If all goes well I will return to Minnesota sometime in late July. Amy and I will then see if the schedule I have at that time will allow for l.a.r.p.s.

I am very disappointed and frustrated that this is happening. However, I am thankful that I have my job. In time all will return to normal, and when it does the Myth Wood will be ready to go.

While the l.a.r.p. is on hiatus, I encourage everyone to work on stories about their characters, work on weapons or garb they would like to have, and in general continue to enjoy the escapism that the Myth Wood provides us.

To start with I would like to thank everyone who responded to our Facebook poll, or chose to contact us directly. Receiving your thoughts and concerns on these issues help make my decision easier.

The threat of contracting COVID-19 at our get together is small and unlikely. The real issue is individuals level of desire to go out and possibly expose themselves to illness. With our ability to combine the Feast and the Tournament into one gathering, we will be able to minimize this issue. This also lets us move the timeframe to April, which is later in the flu season and not as likely of a concern.

With all that said I am postponing the Myth Wood Feast that was scheduled for the 21st of March, and combining it with the Tournament that is scheduled for April 25th.

I am sorry for the lateness of the change and I hope this does not affect peoples schedule too much. I look forward to seeing everyone on April 25th at the Pine City Armory.

Just a reminder to all that we will be hosting the first ever Makers Competition at the Feast on March 21st.   The Competition will be an event where Denizens of the Myth Wood create items that they will then enter into a competition.  Participants may enter up t to 3 entries each, each entry will be voted on by the Feasters.  At the end of the event $25, $50, and  $100 gift cards will be awarded to the winners.  All the submissions will then turn into door prizes and be gifted to guests (attendance required to win).  Please let us know if you will be entering items or if you have any questions about what a valid entry is.

.The 2020 season is starting to ramp up.   

We have the Feast & Awards Ceremony on March 21st.  Let us know if you can attend. https://www.facebook.com/events/3288332411194713/

As a reminder we will have a crafting competition at the Feast.  If you are planning an entry in the competition please let us know.  We will be making a list of who will be participating.

The 2020 Myth Wood Handbook and Character Class Handbook have been updated for the new season! Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions. We will be reviewing the handbooks at the Feast as usual. See you on March 21st!

Stats are ready!  Congrats to those who leveled up.   Here are the pictures from the last event as well. If you have any that didn’t get into the album please add them.   August Event Photos. See you all Saturday.

Big thank you to everyone who made it out on Saturday. We had a great turn out for our first event with right around 40 people attending. For the Tournament side of the day we had Bobby Milliman come in first in the Trial of the Sword. He won Farien’Gar for this year. Matt Kolecki. came in first at the Trial of the Locks and won Farien’Row for this year. Hunter Drummond came in first place for the Trial of the spell. He will have Fairen’Eld for this year. Congratulations guys.

Reminder, our next event is May 19th.  Here is a link to our Facebook event.

Welcome to 2018, our Feast is tomorrow!  We thought you might be interested in seeing a preview to the changes we have made to our various handbooks.   Also, here is an updated map.  Hope to see everyone tomorrow.

I have the experience points calculated and the rankings complete.  With the massive use of the Soul Union spell it was a bit more complicated than usual but I figured it out.  Here are the rankings based on kill count  only and a list of all the characters who leveled up.   We had over 50% of all the characters who were in the Wood that day level up!  Congrats to all.   If you are interested in your personal experience points shoot me a message and I will look it up for you.   

 Thanks to Jen, Chelon, and Chelsea for taking photos on Saturday!   If anyone has any more please let me know and I will get them added to the event album.

Thank you from Ed

So the first L.A.R.P. of the season was a great time, and ended as a wet one. For the first time in five years mother nature did not let us get a full day in. Not going to lie I was a little disappointed. That being said though, the first part of the day was a terrific experience.
Everyone was great, the day was hot but pleasant. We got so much story in and lots of wonderful battles. Thank you all so much for the great characters you play and the fun you share.
I would like to put out a special thank you to the folks that came out and helped with all the building and prep work. Vigo Blackhearte., Shawn Bachmeier. Matt Kolecki, Danielle Kitley, Brent Pick., Joey Janowski, Jermey Jeremy Cox, Danyel Jabas, Jason Johnson. You guys rock, thanks for helping make the Myth Wood look great.
Also, let me never forget Chelon Rasmussen for being our Eir, and Jen Woody for coming out and being our new Banker, thanks ladies.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the 22 of July for our next L.A.R.P.

Thank you from Vigo

I wanted to give a big heart felt thanks to everyone that sacrifices their labor and time for the Myth Wood to make it such the wonderful place that it is today. Thank you Edward Ableman, Amy Patterson and ElVera Ableman for allowing us into your lives and onto your lands to wreak havoc upon our foes and for giving us the chance to make new friendships and comrades in arms (as well as the chance to devour ElVera’s divine baked goods, for without them, we’d most certainly be lost).
I would also like to give a special thanks to Scott Milliman and Davin Woodcock for being the most useful, vile, sickening, twisted and willing minions a Tyrannical Overlord could ask for. You have both done me proud this last session and I will have your continued servitude in the days to come.
To my new comrades in arms I say this to you; Oderint dum metuant!
Lastly, I’d like to thank those who made it out to the LARP (even though the second half was rained out) for the chance to sacrifice yourselves to Vigo. You may have had the easiest job there, but you did it well and with style (I’m looking at you TyFong Ackerman) and I love you all for it.
Thanks again everyone! I had a blast and I hope to slay you all again at the next one!
-Vigo Blackhearte Future Dread Overlord of the Myth Wood.
