HOSPITAALRIDDERS 'Tis the year of our Lord 1248: from the lowlands the knights hospitaller are travelling to castle de Haar. This is the place where they gather before their long journey. Their destination are the harbours of Southern France, from where they will join the crusades of King Louis IX in his battle against the Saracens. On the way to the east, first Egypt and then Jerusalem!
In the camp at castle de Haar the last preparations will be made before they embark on the long journey. Three times a day the soldiers practise their formations and fight with sword, shield and spear. Brothers and barber surgeons take care of the pilgrims. Craftsmen, including carpenters and leatherworkers, work on the remaining material that's needed. The scribe finishes the last pages of his bible while the Donati are busy recruiting funds, land and people to support the holy war. www.hospitaalridders.nl
CHAOSRABEN In a dark, long past time valiants came together to admire each ther's virtues. They loved the music, loved to celebrate and enjoyed every day as if it were the last. To indulge this sense of life, they joined together under the banner of the Raven. Thenceforth they made taverns, markets, concerts and festivals insecure and everywhere they found more and more like-minded people.

FELLOW SHIP The Lord of the Rings group "Fellow-ship" has a lot to offer again this year: tents with extensive attention to detail, extensively detailed clothing, weaponry and wapens-training, and various dance workshops throughout the weekend. But be careful! In the camp of the group a dangerous creature has nested! The spider "Shelob" drives her doom with the visitors, who get to close. Other forms have taken over the camp and plunged it into darkness.
ELFO PUT The presence of the raw material Trollium allowed the famous Nobelf prize winner professor Elfstein to build the prototype of the first ever PUT, a Parallel Universa Transporter. This complicated machine is able to transport any dead or living being from any universum to another. This will enable beings from a fantasy environment to be transported to Earth, the planet of the humans. And vice versa. There is only one down turn: for a risk free result the PUT also needs energy form human brains...
PROFESSOR ELFSTEIN Meet our special guest for Elfia in April 2012: professor Elfstein.
He will create in the middle of the Elf Fantasy Fair the ETT, the Elfia Time Teleporter, a huge machine which will partially run on human energy. Forget the ordinary main stage. We exchanged it for the ETT. Great (music) acts won't just walk on stage; professor Elfstein will teleport them on stage.
FASE 3 Fase-3 is a post-apocalyptic, sci/fi, horror Live Action Roleplay. See the Earth, New-Earth in 2703. Ruled with an iron fist by The Government who conducted horrible experiments in order to 'save' humanity. Thanks to these experiments New Earth is now filled with zombies, mutants and other monstrosities. Only the Rebels out from Wasteland dare to oppose against The Government. By an abuse of the Chronotron -an artefact that can adjust time- a serious crack appeared in time and space between Elfia and New Earth. Rebels in the Wasteland try everything to close the crack but still without success. The monstrosities that came through it are still wandering around and are putting a real danger to the existence of Elfia. The medical team of the Rebels expect that even the Gods and Pharaohs can be affected and damaged by the mutagen.
The concept van Fase-3 was initiated on an attic as a made up tabletop
game. Wijbe van de Meent asked Bjorn Ongering to help him revive Fase-3
and set up a Live Action Roleplay event. In 2005 the first Fase-3 event
took place and since then they organise one till two adventures a year.
Fase-3 is kept alive by the hard work of a close group of friends.
Thanks to them each time New Earth comes to existence. www.fase3larp.nl
CLAN GRUGASH Through a wormhole they were drawn from the Ma’zruk mountains of Krushnah and tumbled into the strange world of Elfia. They lost their leader due to a spell a wizard cast and turned their leader into something undefinable. Although this crushed their spirits a bit, they have gathered their courage and decided not to take it. Clan Grugash want to find find their leader at the EFF and give him back his true shape.
This might be a group of big and feral creatures, yet they cannot
search through Elfia on their own. If you want to help them they would
be very grateful. It is difficult to find their leader since they have
no clue as to what the wizard has turned him into. So, come and visit
the camp of Clan Grugash and join their quest.
The Inquisition of the CHURCH OF KRIEGRIMM The inquisiteurs of this Church do only have one purpose with their encampment in Elfia: to spread the Word of Kriegrimm. The holy inquisitors are aware of the presence of threats of the one and only true Faith. They also see a great danger in the presence of the Egypts and their Gods, this year in Elfia. But they don't let themselves be put out by it: they will continue to spread the Word very actively and they will warn the Elfians with pamphlets with information about the real face of the Egyptian Gods. Besides, the pamphlets will also show what an Egyptian heretic can expect...
FLINTS BUCCANEERS As reenactment group from the area around Köln, Germany, they focus on showing how pirate life and the Royal Navy of the 18th Century looked like.
