Lies of the SCRP
Within, a clan, in ol’ Dragonhome
Lies the, SCRP*
A group of, oddball nerds, shy misfits and, dreamers
Dwelling, in fan-tas-y
Based, on, an, alt-ernate world,
And a, sad fae’s, stor-r-r-ies
Recreat-ing, bygone, er-r-ras
Of, hope, and glor-r-r-y
While the only, thing ,a LARPer* needs
Is time e-nough for fun
Best to also, have, gems and, treasure and --
Avoid, cost o-verruns
Oh, nannies, tell your hatchlings
Though you may quite disagree
There is more to life than war and pain
In the clan, with SCRP
Pre-tending, to be, one of the Whoz*
Takes away, some, of the pain
From, fighting, fierce, Skelet-al Wyrms
And brings, relief, from strain
Yes, within a clan in ol’ Dragonhome
Lies the SCRP
And it has been the salvation of many a derg
Of that, I guarantee
*SCRP stands for the Society for Creative Role Play
*LARPers means Live Action Role Players
*Whoz are a weird half-centaur mixed race --the upper half is a centaur while the lower half is ape-like.
Clan Lore Of Medievalredragon Clan:
In the far reaches of Sornieth, in Dragonhome, at the very fringe of the Venerable Lair of Cairnstone Rest, in the city of Whoville, resides the Medievalredragon Clan. This clan is a motley group of dragons from all over Sornieth that come together for the sole purpose of participating in a live-action-role playing experiment in their off-duty time where they take on the “persona” of individuals of the fantasy race called “Whoz.”* They then recreate the fantasy world of “Dirt,” specifically its arts, sciences and martial endeavors in its most glorious “historical” periods: the “Roman,” “Medieval” and “Renaissance” Ages.**
Members of the Medievalredragon Clan continue to do their duty to the Earthshaker and their flight in defending their lands and Sornieth from dragon enemies. However, in their off-duty hours they prefer to live a different type of life where they can escape the grim reality (for even a little while) of holding the line against the Beastclans and Skeletal Wyrms.
The Medievalredragon Clan takes its name from some of the Medieval Lore of Dirt about “Arthur Pendragon” whose symbol was a red dragon.*** The name of their LARP experience is the Society for Creative Role Play (SCRP or "Society"). To fund their life-style they opened up an Inn and Fertility Spa for guests in Cairnstone Rest (motto: "Forget your cares and take a rest at Cairnstone Rest!"). They also sell their artisan-made luxury products at the great Auction House and trade with other clans.

*The Whoz are a weird half-centaur mixed race --the upper half is a centaur while the lower half is ape-like. As an interesting aside, males of this race are called “Who-manz” and females are called “Who-wo-manz, while the hatchlings for some reason are called “Kidz”.
**Clan members choose to pretend to be Whoz because while there are dragons mentioned in Dirt Lore they seem to mostly live at places called “Pottery” (China) and “Big Fish” (Wales) and ”Pirate Raiders Land” (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark) and never get to wear cool apparel or eat interestingly prepared foods.
***The clan’s information about the Whoz , Dirt and the Whoz history and culture comes from a mysterious cache of ancient texts that were the sole inheritance of a young orphaned fae that the clan leaders recused from torture by one of the beast clans. When that fae grew to adulthood she used those ancient texts as inspiration for a series of fantasy books she wrote about Dirt and the Whoz.
