Step into Legend… Where Reality and Fantasy Intertwine
When was the last time you tried something for the first time? Imagine a world where the dice stay at rest while you leap into action. The thrill isn’t confined to a character sheet but sprawls around you, tangible and teeming with life. That’s Myth — where you don’t just play; you become. Here, legends aren’t told—they’re lived.
The Living Landscape of Damar Keep
Thrust into the heart of Pomfret, Connecticut, an ordinary 4-H Camp undergoes a miraculous metamorphosis six times a year. Damar Keep beckons the brave by echoing the magic of the classic “Keep on the Borderlands” module. Every corner, a story. Every shadow, a mystery.
You’re Not Just Role-playing. You’re Role-living!
Whether diving deep into forbidden forests, unearthing age-old mysteries, or maneuvering the dangerous alleys of political intrigue—Myth is your canvas. Create your character with a palette of nine races and 11 classes, then paint your destiny.
Safety Amidst the Saga
Adventures should thrill, not threaten. At Myth, every twist, turn, spell, and sword swing is calibrated for maximum fun and paramount safety.
A Weekend of Enchantment and Adventure
As Friday’s twilight heralds the start, immerse yourself in the captivating world of Myth until Sunday’s thrilling conclusion. And when night blankets the land, find sanctuary and solace in adventurer-worthy cabins amidst the whispering forest. When dawn breaks, rise rejuvenated, eager to face new challenges and craft tales of courage and camaraderie.
Evolve in Every Episode
Every Myth weekend is a chapter in your hero’s journey. Grow in prowess and power, gather allies, earn legendary skills, and carve a niche in Myth’s eternal chronicles.
It’s More Than A Game. It’s Hyraeth.
Drawing inspiration from the Welsh word “hiraeth”—a word capturing a deep, nostalgic yearning—our realm known as Hyraeth beckons with a profound connection. It’s a land that feels like home, familiar and comforting, even if it’s your first journey. Here, camaraderie isn’t scripted—it’s genuine and heartfelt. Beyond the quests and quandaries, Myth stands as a beacon where souls intertwine in shared passion, forging bonds that resonate with the essence of belonging.
Unmatched, Unyielding, Unforgettable

GEAR UP FOR THE EPIC TALE OF HYRAETH
Your Mythical Checklist: What You Need to Embark
1. A Guiding Hand: From the moment you sign up for an adventure, a dedicated New Player Ambassador introduces you to your personal Guide. Think of them as your in-world mentor, someone who will assist you in character creation and be your beacon throughout the event. Remember, every Guide once stood where you stand, eager and curious.
2. Gear & Garb: Channel your inner hero! Whether you’re a mage, warrior, or rogue, don a costume that reflects your character’s essence. Weapons, spell packets, and accessories add to the realism. And fear not, newcomer, for if your adventurer’s wardrobe is yet to be complete, the Questor’s Closet might have just what you need. Here, fellow players offer weapons and costuming for those in need.
3. Know Thy Rules: Step into Hyraeth well-armed with knowledge. Our rulebook, your guide to Myth’s mechanics, is available as a complimentary PDF. Don’t stress about mastering every rule before you arrive. Instead, focus on the essentials—safety and your character’s unique abilities. Before diving into the weekend’s adventures, we’ll hold a primer workshop, ensuring you’re well-acquainted with our world. If queries arise, our vibrant Discord community is just a click away, brimming with veterans eager to assist.
4. Feast Fit for Heroes: Hyraeth’s adventures are bound to work up an appetite. Opt for Myth’s chef-crafted meal plans (offered in both meat and vegan variants) or bring your provisions. Limited refrigerator space is available, so plan accordingly.
5. Rest Like Royalty: For those who wish to sleep beneath the stars, set up your period tent in the bustling tent village by the tavern. Prefer a roof? Claim a bunk in one of our 15 cabins, each accommodating ten adventurers. Gather your allies to fill a cabin if you yearn for a private retreat.
6. Personal Panache: The thrill of adventuring is bound to leave its mark. Thankfully, modern amenities like showers and flush toilets are at your disposal. Pack your essentials—soap, shampoo, towels, toothpaste—to cleanse the day’s grime and prepare for tomorrow’s legends.
Your saga in Hyraeth awaits, and this checklist ensures you’re well-prepared for every twist and turn. Dive in, adventurer, and may your tale be one for the ages!
YOUR TICKET TO HYRAETH: EMBARK ON A LEGENDARY JOURNEY FOR LESS THAN YOU’D THINK
Investing in Adventure: How Much for a Mythic Weekend?

On-the-Day Adventurers:
For those who choose spontaneity, the door price is $120. However, be forewarned: paying at the door is a gamble. Our tales are as coveted as the rarest elixirs, and spots fill up rapidly.

A piece of sage advice: seats in our saga are claimed swifter than a dragon’s flight. So if a particular Myth event beckons you, heed the call and secure your chapter without delay.

FOR SEASONED LARPERS: EMBRACE THE LEGEND OF MYTH
Our Philosophy
