About the larp

The immortal spirits of Seven Tribes of Nephilim interrupt their dark work of cultivating and harvesting sin for the Sacrament. Here the seven tribes convene to make pacts with their demonic patrons and settle scores between them. But the celestial host look for any opportunity to eradicate the tribes and the increase in the number of Nephilim only makes this easier. The time has come to make some difficult decisions or face the wrath of the divine again.
