'Elf' Fantasy Fair.

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

The Elf Fantasy Fair in Utrecht (The Netherlands) is coming up this April and I'm curious, is any orc comin'?

It's a lovely event with people practicing old professions, Live-Action-Role-Players (That's LARP) and folks, includin' me, that hop around in costumes for the good ol' fun of it.
I'll add the website once I figure out which one it is... Tough pick.

Mhokky.

I've been considering it, for the giggles. Have to see who I can drag along first.

[Greggar]

My mom likes to go there hehe ;3 But me has no costume

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

Well costumes aren't a must.

*Cough* *Is crafting his second*

[Morgeth]

Pictures are a must, however!

[Nergul]

I was thinking about going! Ill be dressed as a giant 

[Kozgugore]

Do you even have to -dress- for that, knowing you?

[Nergul]

No, i need to undress for that! 

[Greggar]

Wot? o_O *faints*

[Nergul]

I barely made that post and i was contacted by a CRAZY Mhokdur!

[Greggar]

Mhok ^^ Mok mok mok

[Grundar]

I'll be going , like last year.

[Loial]

you people go to sutch things? :O
then i must start making comercial to bring the orcs to the "Mediveal Week" at Gotland , Visby , sweden , thats held every early august. pretty mutch the same happens there. alot of Mediveal geeks and larper's (live action role players) turn up there. a big fair filled with craftmens , food , clothiers etc etc, the town got like 4 hardcore mediveal restuarants/bars that only allow people in mediveal cloth to enter and sutch

alot of events, like knight-shows, fire-show, alot of music , contests , theater-plays and mutch more
so it's a week back in the midle-age's both for youth, larpers who just wanna get drunk a week in mediveal style and surounding , or for family's , i been there 3 years straight, or maybe 4, and i will continue to go there eatch year as long as it will exisct

would be fun to gather a few orcs and have a good time there, but i must warn you, i'm one of those larpers who party allmost everyday of the week

So far I've got some starting materials for me robe, I'll list what I have in mind to craft these three months, maybe you folks have an idea on what I could add?

-Black robe (linnen) with wide sleeves, snug fit around the chest, waist and legs, doesn't close at the front leaving a handwidth open.
Also will have a hood to cover the head, I'll most probably take an extra piece of cloth (Scourge-ish colour) and weave some runes into it, then attaching it to the front end of the hood, like the acolytes of WC III.
-Skull-buckle belt.
-Belt accesories:Pouches and satchels, vials containing liquids and old chains.
-Rapier sword + sheathe*
-Short apron from crotch to halfway the knees (Front only)
-Knee-caps, skull shaped.
-Leatherish gloves. (I'd dislike wearing real leather, I'll need to find some fake)
-Spellbook (Hardcover, made by a bookbinder, I'll be allowed to pick one of my mothers "failed" ones, I don't see any failures to them really.)

I'll also want to try and get myself some knee-high boots, someone suggested looking for a second-hand store for some biker boots or somewhat, worn out and knee-high, does the trick.

*If allowed.



And for those bothered, my orc costume consists of:
- (Epic) shaman level 1 kilt
- Bracers with Horde logo
- Cloth (brown background) Red Blade tabard.
- Cross bandoleers (Regretably also made of cloth)
- two pouches
- Plate pauldron
- Single black sleeve underneath the pauldron
- Staff (Might make a sheathe for my axe so I may carry it)


If anyone has any ideas of what I could add, do tell!

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]
