Casimir Non, Knight-penitent of Drearburh?

Once, there was a cavalier who Once, there was a cavalier who served Once a cavalier

The brilliant Hannah of Pretty Good Larps did it again, and, dare I say, even better? "2 Dead 2 Furious", a Locked Tomb larp taking"Harrow the Ninth" as a starting/inspiration point, was exactly the brutal amount of mindfuckery and tragedy and drama and wtf-ery I was suspecting, except more. Consider this, then, TLT fanart, and an expression of absolute love in getting to step into that world.

Is this really how it happens?

And one recovered memory (This is really how it happened.) that changed everything brutally for Casimir-now, concerning Casimir-then.

I was hyped to the max about playing the Ninth cav again, with my Ninth adept also being the same player as for "1 Dance 1 End", and DAMN we blew it out of the park. Such different characters and different dynamic, and oh Jod the tragedy...

Going to try and keep things spoiler-free because you might be able to play it yourself, and it is SO WORTH IT (it's free to download from the website if you want to run it, and every single character is amazingly written). Also lyctors are scary as all hell to meet. Especially, ahem, if they're named Cytherea.

Love the face paint I managed. Sketched for weeks to find one I wanted to use. Wore that hood and veil almost all the time, except when interacting with Wrackhark, and once others had gained some acquaintance. Yes, even when duelling. Which I did a surprising number of times, and Cas was delighted about every time (yay real experience!), even with the "What? Oh, yes, mercy I guess." from certain necromancers when you're cut down and bleeding out.

More costume details to come because I had a blast making stuff!

A closeup of my simple Ninth House rosary, because I've carried it around today, on the off chance that someone might recognise it. Especially during the larper's picnic (every Medieval Week, Thursday 13:00, outside Jungfrutornet, Visby), since I made it for "One Dance, One End" larp last October, where I played Deidamia Nova, Cavalier Primary to Gorehark Novarius, Reverend Daughter of Drearburh and the Ninth House.

(The larp is set 500 years before the books' present, check the details out, they're online, and it was Swedified with less gamified rules and things, but it's been run a few times in the USA too.)

Many of the things made for Deidamia can be used as Gideon too, but, the rosary... mmmaybe not. The other rosary was made by Gorehark's player, the boney necklace and everything else made or modified/decorated by me. The fountain pen is by Shibui North, called Creepy Little Skulls <3 The amount of bone beads is divisible by nine, altogether, and wherever found (except for when in threes).

... and yes, I carried around bones (swan and sheep, found and received) for my necromancer.

...and the hip bag is one I use in everyday life. Because, Ninth.
