Welcome to the currently rather bare-bones and definitely unofficial wiki for the Five Oaths Live Action Roleplaying Game.

What is Five Oaths

Five Oaths is a Live-Action Roleplaying game. This means it is a collaborative storytelling and adventure game in which the players portray their characters and interact with the game world presented by the Event Team. Unlike tabletop roleplaying games, players portray their character at Five Oaths events by putting on a costume and doing and saying whatever their character does or says.

In the game, you will be both audience and author of your character’s story and the stories of the characters around you. Combat makes up a significant portion of the adventure aspect of the game as Player Characters face off against menacing ne’er-do-wells and dangerous monsters of all sorts. Combat in Five Oaths is resolved with the use of (carefully safety-checked) foam and latex replicas of swords, axes, and other assorted weaponry. There is also, usually, camping as the events take place over the course of a weekend.

The world of Five Oaths takes inspiration from medieval Ireland, though no knowledge of this period is required to enjoy the game. All player characters in the game live in the Five Realms of Tirneach (tear-knock) and are members of an elite class of warriors known as the Gallóglaigh (gallow-glee). These warriors swear Five Oaths to serve their god, their ruler, their nation, and each other. From then on they are specially empowered mercenaries, wandering the Five Realms looking to make a name for themselves, and earn some money along the way.

Making a page for your character

If you're making a page for your character, please include this short template at the start of the page. Remember to change the details to match your character! It'll add your character to a bunch of the relevant categories. It'll also include a little info box, but I'll probably update that to something nicer at some point.
