Southern Organization for Live Action Reenactments

SOLAR (an acronym for Southern Organization for Live Action Reenactments) is a boffer-style fantasy live action role playing game located in the Southeastern United States.

Campaigns

SOLAR's rules and setting are used by separate and distinct games, or "campaigns". SOLAR's setting takes place in the fictional Sutherlands, with each campaign taking place in a different city within the Sutherlands. Clanthia, SOLAR's primary campaign, takes place in the capital city of Clanthia. Other games that are set in SOLAR's Sutherlands are Cerroneth and Shadowmoor, named after the in-game cities in which they take place. An additional campaign, Everhate, ran from 2000 to 2004.

Location

Events of SOLAR's primary campaign, Clanthia, take place in Georgia at Hard Labor Creek State Park for most of the year, and use Indian Springs State Park in the Winter.

History

SOLAR was originally a chapter of NERO. SOLAR became an independent LARP in 1991.

System

SOLAR is a boffer-style LARP that uses hit points to keep track of an individual's health. Players can be a variety of races such as humans, elves, and other fantasy races. There are four general classes: fighters, rogues, scholars (analogous to wizards), and templars (a mix of fighter and scholar).

MEAD, a LARP located in South Africa, also uses the SOLAR rule system.
