Real People - Real Passion
Real crowns
When Fantasy becomes Reality
the drama gets epic!
Dragon Thrones is where fantasy becomes real. For one epic weekend, everyday people transform into High Rulers and Heroes, commanding kingdoms, forging alliances, and competing for glory in a legendary competition known as The Ascension.
For over a decade, Dragon Thrones united thousands of adults in a world where you didn't just watch Game of Thrones—you lived it. Players spent months crafting elaborate costumes, building powerful alliances, and rallying loyal followers. It was part Renaissance Faire, part fantasy epic, part Survivor—but nothing was scripted. The friendships were real. The rivalries were real. The adventure was unforgettable.
Over 1,000 players stepped into custom-designed roles—from wise advisors to warrior champions to noble leaders seeking their destiny. Each character was crafted in collaboration with our team, ensuring every player found their perfect place in the story. Dragon Thrones became more than an event. It became a community—a living world of creativity, passion, and discovery.

A Realm Forged in Dragonfire
and ruled by myth itself
Welcome to Kambria
At the heart of Dragon Thrones lies Kambria—a vast fantasy realm born from an ancient age when mighty Elder Dragons shaped the world.
Long ago, eleven Elder Dragons descended upon the land. Ten of them ruled over humanity, each creating kingdoms that reflected their power and vision. But the eleventh—the Golden Dragon Kry'sos—chose a different path. He offered wisdom. He promised peace. And through his cunning, he outlasted all the others in the legendary Dragon Wars.
When the dust settled, only Kry'sos remained—the last dragon, the eternal guardian of Kambria.
From the legacy of the fallen dragons, Kry'sos forged ten Dragon Thrones—magical seats of power infused with ancient magic, each gifted to a kingdom's ruler. Under his watchful guidance, peace held across the land... for a time.
But once every generation, the Thrones awaken. They call their rulers to The Ascension—an epic contest of strategy, courage, and destiny where kingdoms compete to prove their worth. Alliances are tested. Heroes emerge. Legends are born.
Dragon Thrones is more than a fantasy world—it's a living universe where real people step into legendary roles. Every Ascension brings new alliances, new challenges, new stories.
It's Game of Thrones meets Survivor. It's your most epic D&D campaign brought to life. It's the adventure you've always wanted to be part of.
And the story continues.
Who Plays
What happens when real people stop watching fantasy—and start living it?
That was the question that started Dragon Thrones over a decade ago.
For more than ten years, Dragon Thrones united thousands of players worldwide in a shared universe where creativity, strategy, and imagination came together. We blended live-action roleplay, tabletop gaming, and immersive theater to create something entirely new—a world where a teacher could become a wise queen, where an engineer could lead great armies, where anyone could rise to greatness.
What started as a weekend event became a decade-long saga—a world built by its players, for its players. And while Dragon Thrones events are on a brief pause, the realm of Kambria lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone who was part of the adventure.
The characters were real. The achievements were earned. And the story isn't over.
The Saga
Set in the legendary realm of Kambria, Dragon Thrones spans generations of adventure, prophecy, and heroism. Each era brings a new Ascension—a cycle of competition and strategy where kingdoms rise, alliances form, and legends are made.
From the magnificent citadels of the Ten Kingdoms to the wild frontier lands where bold adventurers forge their own paths, every corner of Kambria holds wonders. Ancient prophecies. Powerful magic. Noble houses and legendary champions.
The world is vast. The stories are endless. The legends await.
The Meaning
Dragon Thrones is more than medieval fantasy—it's a place of transformation.
When you step into Kambria, something extraordinary happens. The costume you spent months creating becomes your armor. The allies you choose become your trusted companions. The kingdom you lead becomes part of your story. You discover strengths you didn't know you had.
Here, imagination becomes empowerment. Quiet voices find their courage. Leaders discover new skills. Friendships form that last long after the event ends. Because in Dragon Thrones, the experience is real—and so is the growth.
This is what happens when you stop being a spectator in someone else's story and become the hero of your own.
The realm is waiting for its next chapter.

Player Casting
In Dragon Thrones, there are no actors—only adventurers who lived the story.
A middle school teacher became the beloved Queen of the Northern Realms. A software engineer led victorious armies as a celebrated general. A graphic designer orchestrated brilliant strategies from behind the scenes. Friends became friendly rivals. Strangers became lifelong friends. And over a decade, an immersive experience transformed into something deeper—a community united by shared adventures and unforgettable memories.
What began as a weekend event became a decade of legend-making—forging alliances, achieving victories, earning honors, and discovering who we really were when we dared to step into something bigger than ourselves.
Playbill of Players
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.

Reflections
For the past decade, Dragon Thrones has been an ambitious adventure—one fueled by imagination, courage, and a small team's dream to bring epic stories to life through live-action experiences.
We poured our hearts into every event, and when everything came together, the magic was real. Like any creative endeavor, each event brought its own unique challenges and lessons. We're continually learning and growing, always striving to create the best possible experience.
With a small team of creators wearing every hat—writing, building, producing, performing—we've navigated an incredible journey, even weathering a global pandemic. Through it all, our goal remained constant: to create memories and connections that would last long after the weekend ended.
What we treasure most are the stories you've shared with us: the lifelong friendships formed in the house rooms and courtyard, the groups who continued adventuring together long after the event, the proposals that happened in our fantasy realm, the alumni who became travel companions and creative collaborators and chosen family. The legacy of Dragon Thrones, we like to think, is beautifully ironic—through an imaginary world, real relationships were born.
In times when making meaningful connections can feel harder than ever, we're deeply grateful to have brought people together in ways that mattered. To every player who brought their creativity, passion, and imagination to Kambria—thank you for being part of this shared story. Your energy and enthusiasm made Dragon Thrones unforgettable.
