Welcome to Swordcraft Townsville, a chapter of Australia’s largest medieval battle game and live-action roleplaying experience! We bring the Old World lore of Warhammer Fantasy to life through epic battles, immersive roleplay, and thrilling quests.
Swordcraft: Blood and Gold is a Warhammer Fantasy inspired LARP. Current year: 2025
It is the Age of Three Emperors in the Empire.
The Empire is in turmoil. A land united by Sigmar Heldenhammer, since his death the Empire has fallen into petty squabbles. A disagreement led to civil war, with a number of different claimants to the throne. The civil war has a religious aspect in the Empire, it is a war of belief between the cults of Taal, Ulric and Sigmar. Ostermark, Stirland and the northern lands of the Empire are devasted by Vlad von Carstein. Mordheim, the crown of Ostermark and the Empire is destroyed by a Warpstone meteor. Not much is known about Warpstone, except that it is rare and contains many qualities which enhance people and items (some say it is made of evil).
