We have danced this dance for more than a century. From the West come the proud Cantons of Garmont. From the East, the otherworldly Vicarians. Here we converge, in a hidden valley of the Spire Mountains, returning once again to the hallowed grounds of the Dance of Ribbons.
This auspicious year, the seasons and stars have aligned; The Dance of Ribbons will be held on Reaper’s Eve, when Ioites celebrate the welcoming of the light. But a strange song is on the wind; these lands, these people of Vicaria and Garmont will be tested again. Are they strong enough to dance to the oldest tune?
Do not give them your name, do not give them your hand, leave your horseshoes above your doors, and pray you are forgotten…
Following the events of the Dance of the Swept (seven years ago) – the festival where the Land hungered for spirits - an ever-lasting spring settled over the land. The Dance of the Trickster God, two years ago, seemed to cure these ills - when Ioities and Sidhe-believers came together. But, as always, things were not as simple as they seemed. A Fey visitation sowed discord between Vicaria and Garmont. And the ever-present threat of Francia looms larger than ever before.
A Dance of Ribbons is a love letter to those role players who love intricate stories, deep narratives, and embodying characters with love and care. A Dance of Ribbons III is the final instalment of the trilogy.

Setting: The worlds of Garmont and Vicaria exist within a euro-centric lens, but that shouldn’t stop us from exploring beyond this mode. Garmont takes a lot of inspiration from 15th- 17th century Dutch, Swiss and German dress, and Vicaria sits on a wide variety of pre-Christian Celtic and Slavic designs. However, we are a diverse community, and we want to see it! We aren't interested in one-to-one recreation, and there is almost no tech in this world...but magic and ritual are soaked into this land…Check our website for our comprehensive Kit and Costume guide, and other Setting resources.
