BEYOND

THE GATES?

Winter Has Arrived

At Fort Lyonhall

Welcome beyond the gates and into the realm of Miscuri, a land and society dominated by magic and ancient lore. At the heart of our story stands Fort Lyonhall, a newly established stronghold that marks humanity's foray into mysterious territories beyond its known world. Nestled at the foot of a magical portal, the Fort stands as a gate between the great kingdoms of Draile, Lorengard, and the remnants of Tae’av —each bearing the scars of past conflicts like the devastating Dark Moon War— and new and untamed lands that promise rich resources and undiscovered powers for any adventurous spirit or explorer set to conquer these wilds.

FAQ

  • Devised theatre – frequently called collective creation – is a method of theater and performance art where the event/art piece/show originates from collaborative and often improvisatory work by a performing ensemble.

    The ensemble is typically made up of actors, but other categories of theatre practitioners may also be central to this process of generative collaboration, such as visual artists, composers, and choreographers.

    It shares some common principles with improvisational theatre; however, in devising, improvisation is typically confined to the creation of the event/art piece/show itself: by the time a devised piece is presented to the public, it usually has a fixed, or partly fixed form.

  • Yes, it absolutely is!

    Beyond the Gates events are for everyone - young, old, professional, beginner, and everyone in-between.

    Some people come to our events for the community; others for the “game” aspects like skills, ranks, guilds, and titles; and some just to enjoy the festivities and wonder of a medieval faire.

    You are encouraged to come as you are, be that while wearing a band shirt and a pair of jeans, or expertly crafted elf ears and a flowing silk robe.

  • The beautiful thing about Beyond the Gates is that you are encouraged to participate and play how you wish.

    Our Merchant Market and Fairgrounds are perfect for those interested in enjoying a relaxing day filled with delightful live musical performances, delicious meals from local food vendors, and experiencing the spectacle of it all.

    For those interested in dipping their toes into the “game” of Beyond the Gates, we have four fantastic Guilds for our guests to join and explore. Learn new skills, earn titles and awards, and discover what secrets the Citizens of Draile may be trying to keep out of the public eye.

    Be the hero of your own story, and write your name into the history books of Miscuri, Draile, Fort Lyonhall, and Beyond the Gates.

  • No.

    We still have a Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy to set expectations for guests and staff alike. Our actors and staff members are people just like you and I, and the safety of our staff and guests comes first.

    If you have a specific question about what is or isn’t allowed at a Beyond the Gates event, please email info@beyond-the-gates.org and one of our staff members would be happy to assist you with your question.

What Are People Saying About BTG?

  • Edy V.

    The people in charge are very talented. Their costuming is spot on. There's background available on their FB page so you don't start out blind. The venue is spectacular for a public park and there will be vendors and food trucks.

    I want to give them a chance and hopefully there will be a second event.

  • Bob M.

    It ended so quick! At Evermore I could get away with only caring about one guild that day but at this, it's like you wanna do them all, and it'd be literally impossible.

    Watch Bob’s video about the Act 1 Prologue, First Light, here!

  • Alex E.

    It was an incredible time! It was so good to see everybody again!

  • John B.

    Yesterday I went on a little adventure to a place I have never been before. It was a huge wooded park with grassy fields, stone pathways and a magnificent amphitheater. This was a place where one’s imagination could conjure the most fantastic of happenings and loose all reality of one’s normal humdrum life.

    In my opinion BTG has found the perfect venue. I am so looking forward to this upcoming event. These pictures do not do the park justice. I commend American Fork Parks and Recreation for this amazing park.

  • Tarvel

    Absolutely incredible! Already making potential plans for another trip out!

  • Moth S.

    I was honestly nervous asking my friends to come, but they all had so much fun. One of them said “I feel like I haven’t been able to breath properly due to everything going on. But while watching the bards perform I turned to my friend and told them I was finally breathing and smiling normal again. It turns out I just needed a dose of whimsey.”

  • Ray J.

    I must say, I’m very impressed with the love and effort put into making this all happen. I’m so excited to be apart of it this Friday!

  • Patrick D.

    Literally cannot give enough praise to all the work that went into this first event. I think the entire team was amazing and did perfectly. I remember Becka once describing it all as if they “could catch lighting in a bottle”.

    Well, they caught it.

  • Bennet C.

    Missing this event already! It was so good reuniting with familiar faces and making friends with new ones!
