Real People. Real passion.
Real crowns.
When fantasy becomes reality
the drama gets epic.
Dragon Thrones is a unique, episodic blockbuster-scale live-action fantasy experience — a world where real people become High Rulers and Heroes of imaginary kingdoms and battle for glory in a high-stakes weekend competition known as The Ascension.
For a decade, Dragon Thrones has united adults who spend months building alliances, crafting costumes, and leading loyal players. It’s part Renaissance Faire, part medieval fantasy series, and part political battlefield — but this isn’t scripted theater. The passionate players command real followers, forge real friendships and rivalries, and invest their hearts and identities into the magical lands they rule.
With over one thousand customized roles created through consultations, Dragon Thrones established a truly unique and successful franchise — a living, breathing kingdom of creativity, obsession, romance, and empowerment.
About
Dragon Thrones is more than an event — it’s a living fantasy universe built through storytelling, community, and creativity. For over a decade, the world of Kambria has united blockbuster-scale live action role-playing, tabletop gaming, and interactive theater into one evolving experience. Across events, published games, and books, players don’t just visit this world — they shape it, becoming the heroes, rulers, and legends of their own saga. What began as a weekend adventure is becoming a franchise of worlds — one that invites future heroes to explore its next chapter.
The Saga
Set in the mythic realm of Kambria, Dragon Thrones unfolds across eras of power, conflict, and renewal—each season chronicling the rise and fall of royal houses, the forging of alliances, and the wars that shape the realm's fate. From the sacred citadels of the Ten Kingdoms, where ancient Dragon Thrones sit, to the shadowed frontiers where exiles gather strength, Kambria breathes with political intrigue, divine prophecy, and fierce ambition. Every generation writes its own epic chapter—a world where heroes are made, empires are tested, and destiny waits for no one. Step across the threshold, bow to your throne, and let Kambria remember your name.
The Meaning
Part medieval-fantasy “second life” vacation, part immersive theater, and part collaborative storytelling experiment, Dragon Thrones stands as a living world where imagination holds power and ambition takes form. At its heart, it reveals an authentic subculture where escapism becomes empowerment—and where the crowns, the conflict, and the glory are all very real. Dare to enter Kambria, and discover what kind of ruler or hero you were meant to be.
Real People. Unreal Worlds.
The Players of Dragon Thrones
Over the years, Dragon Thrones brought together one of the most diverse and passionate casts in immersive entertainment — ordinary people who stepped into extraordinary roles. Each player type added their own spark to the living world of Kambria, turning a weekend of imagination into a tapestry of drama, friendship, and transformation.
Solo Adventurers
Countless heroes arrived alone — and left as legends. Each solo adventurer was cast into a noble House with a legendary role and storylines that intertwined with others across the realm. By the end of the first day, strangers became allies, rivals, and lifelong friends.
Questing Couples
Dragon Thrones became a destination for couples celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, or simply chasing adventure together. Their characters were woven into the same House, sharing triumphs, betrayals, and moments of magic that made every weekend unforgettable.
Adventure Parties
Gaming groups from across the country joined as unified teams, eager to bring their tabletop camaraderie into the live-action arena. We cast them into Kingdom Houses together, crafting custom quests and secret missions that tested loyalty, creativity, and courage.
Cosplayers
Artists, makers, and dreamers arrived in armor, gowns, and handcrafted glory — but here, their creations mattered. Costumes became relics of power, enchanted weapons, or symbols of royal heritage, shaping the narrative as much as the players who wore them.
Performers
Dancers, musicians, actors, and storytellers found a stage like no other. Their talents — a song, a duel, a ritual — were written directly into the evolving plot, influencing the fate of nations and dazzling fellow players. They brought their craft — and changed the story.
Partners in Crime
Some arrived as duos — best friends, siblings, partners — ready to stir chaos or weave conspiracy. Together they plotted coups, performed secret rituals, or played rivals on opposing Thrones.
They didn’t need a script — they wrote their own.
A Realm of Intrigue
Welcome to Kambria — a realm forged in dragonfire and ruled by the enigmatic Golden Dragon, King Kry’sos: Creator of the Ascension, Bringer of Tranquility, Granter of Wishes… and the Last Dragon God.
Long ago, eleven Elder Dragons descended upon this world, drawn by its boundless Essence. Ten claimed dominion over mortal kingdoms, waging endless wars through their champions. But the eleventh — the Golden Dragon — refused to rule by force. He offered wisdom and magic instead… while secretly plotting the downfall of his kin. One by one, the Elder Dragons perished in cataclysmic wars until only the Golden Dragon remained, claiming dominion over all of Kambria.
From the remnants of his fallen brethren, he forged the Dragon Thrones — living relics of unimaginable power, each bestowed upon the rulers of the Ten Kingdoms. For generations, they ruled in uneasy peace under his watchful gaze… until the time of The Ascension, a grand contest of war, diplomacy, and destiny held once every generation to decide the future of the realm.
At Dragon Thrones, you don’t just witness the story — you live it. As a hero of your House Court, you’ll battle for glory, power, and the soul of your Kingdom. Will you rise through strategy, sorcery, or sheer daring? In Kambria, every choice can make a legend — or start a war.
