The Court of the Magi is a nest of vipers. Here, reputations are made and shattered - the affairs of Britain reduced to oligarchs' caprice. If you prize your integrity, you must guard it well. And if you do not, what force of nature can stop you?
Court of the Magi is a historical fantasy LARP about politics and interpersonal relationships at the dawn of the 19th century. Characters are members of Arthurian-inspired magical Houses and their loyal servant-assassins.
You might like this game if you like any of the following:
- High politics and player versus player (PvP) conflict,
- Historical power structures (specifically around sex and gender) and reputation management,
- Close knit groups,
- Grandstanding and melodrama,
- Interpersonal roleplay (AKA ballgowning),
- The late Georgian era.
No knowledge of history is necessary beyond what is available on this Wiki. The vast majority of the game will take place indoors. Dramatic, cinematic combat is available but optional.
