The Grand Gathering of Hynafol! 2025

From November 11th to 16th, 2025, the quiet town of McDade, Texas will become a portal to another world — the realm of Hynafol. Here, fantasy meets reality in The Grand Gathering of Hynafol! 2025, an immersive live-action role-playing (LARP) adventure crafted by The Texas Larp Company, LLC.

For six unforgettable days, you’ll leave behind the ordinary and step into a medieval fantasy setting where your imagination takes the lead. Players will create their own characters, join a guild, and shape the fate of the realm through quests, battles, trade, and political intrigue.

🏰 Step Into the World of Hynafol

Imagine waking up in a medieval village surrounded by the sounds of blacksmiths, bards, and warriors preparing for battle. As your chosen character, you’ll face challenges, forge alliances, and uncover secrets that can alter the course of Hynafol’s story.

During the day, the fields come alive with epic battles and daring quests. As night falls, the energy shifts — campfires glow, music fills the taverns, and stories from the day’s adventures echo beneath the stars. Each night feels like a page from a living legend, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the thrill of shared storytelling.

While echoes of familiar LARP traditions can be felt, The Grand Gathering of Hynafol is a completely original world, built with its own lore and immersive experiences. Every guild, quest, and encounter adds depth to a story that exists only for those who live it.
