PLAGUE OF THE NINE CLANS
A Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action Adventure
A Realm on the Brink
The Kingdom is plagued by a mysterious illness. Survivors have congregated in the Realm of Millbrooke. Only you and your clan can uncover its cause, recover the lost relics, and save the realm before high noon on the final day.
This is a weekend-long, story-rich Dungeons & Dragons live-action experience combining camping, roleplay, puzzles, and quests on horseback.
About the Event
Join 60+ adventurers for a weekend of immersive storytelling spread across 140+ scenic acres of meadows, forests, and creeks at Millbrook Trail Rides.
Players will camp in themed villages, undertake horseback and ground quests, and experience a living fantasy world inspired by 5E gameplay. Your choices will matter.
This event is designed for experienced D&D players. Previous horseback riding experience is not necessary- beginners are welcome. Please check the height and weight guidelines below to confirm ride eligibility. Horseback quests will be at a walk and will be guided. We will also offer 14 tickets for non-riding players.

Riding Tickets (includes two horseback quests) $500

Camping & Safety
This is a weekend camping event. Bring your own tent, bedding, and camping gear. No electricity will be available. Porta-potties will be available and potable water will be available at the barn-- which is 1/3 mile from the camping sites. Please plan accordingly.
Camps will be setup in three themed village circles, each with its own bonfire and lore.
Horses will wander through the villages at night, adding to the world’s living atmosphere—so only propane cooking is permitted. Charcoal is not allowed for animal health and safety. You may feed the horses carrots only.
Each evening, clans gather by their bonfires to trade stories, share rumors, or visit other villages. It’s a time for music, laughter, and spontaneous roleplay under the stars.
Parties & Clans
Each clan will include seven players, and three clans will form a single village of twenty-one. If you register with friends, we’ll do our best to place you in the same village so you can camp together. However, for gameplay balance, you may be assigned to different clans or horseback rides. You’re welcome to share a tent with your group, but for the sake of fairness and immersion, you’ll adventure primarily with your assigned clan during the game.
