Treasure of Porto Bello
Sign up to the crew of Captain Henry Morgan, “King” of the Brethren of the Coast, and explore the lives of the freedom-loving Buccaneers of Tortuga! Sail against Spanish trade-ships and ransack Spanish towns in search of treasure, and earn an equal share of the ship’s plunder in the greatest victories of the Buccaneer fleet. With a strong wind in the sails and all hands on deck, look beyond Hollywood and discover the truth about the real pirates of the Caribbean.
After allowing a prisoner to escape and forewarn the town of Puerto Principe, the buccaneer’s gained gained little when they took the city. Unable to pay their debts they cannot return to port, but Captain Morgan has a new scheme: sacking the wealthy city of Porto Bello. Riches beyond imagining stand before the crew, but rumours of foul play during the fall of Puerto Principe breed strife among the ranks and whispers of the three heavily-armed fortresses that guard their target fill even the boldest heart with caution.

Live Action Role Playing, Ninja Sneaking Games, Obstacle Courses, and Ninja style boffering
In Feudal 15th century Japan the Ashikaga Shogunate has been the true power behind the emperor for over a century. Yet now the Ashikaga line has become thin, Shogun Yoshimasa has no heir. To avoid assassination, he reaches out to his younger brother, living as a monk, to become his heir.
The land stands on the brink of great upheaval and conflict, a world where tyrannical Warlords battle for control of the country. And during the ceaseless struggle for power, a new secret tool will come to the fore, The Ninja… Masters of stealth and deception.
DEFENDER- Live Action masterclass, this is a very active day
Thursday April 13th: Greek Heroes
Curse of Poseidon
Take up the role of one of the adventurous crew onboard the Greek hero Odysseus’ ship sailing back to their homeland after the decade-long Trojan War. Legend tells best of the actions of the great hero himself, but we can easily imagine that he was at his best when supported by wily companions. Beset by the cruller whims of the fates, the elements and the gods themselves, their experiences en route have become the very by-word for an arduous and eventful journey- an odyssey!
In the wake of their perilous encounter with the enormous one-eyed cyclops Polyphemus and their narrow escape from his cave, the semi-divine Greek hero Odysseus and his crew put the rocky island of Sicily behind them and resume their journey home. But the sailing ahead is far from smooth as the cyclops’ enraged divine father turns his wrath against Odysseus and all who sail with him, who must now face the Curse of Poseidon!
Friday April 14th: Dawnsaga Fantasy: Elf Towers
Tower of the Unicorn
Sites of mystic wonder, the Elf-Towers mark nodes of earth-power flowing through the Ancient Most Realm. Join a band of adventurers, the Peregrines, and answer the Summons of the Towers- to raise the sleeping power of the Towers, and to heal The Realm and prepare the Way for the Choosing of a High King and Queen to lead us against the Evil Empire that threatens the Realm’s destruction. The Peregrines are now travelling down the Unicorn Way, towards the next Elf Tower…
It is said to be more than a century since the Unicorns ranged across the Plains of Parvonne. The Tower of the Unicorn seems to stand stark and forlorn as if mourning their loss. Yet a strident cry from a lone Knight astride a great white mount on the causeway leading to the Tower breaks the Peregrines out of their reverie. If they know anything yet about the Old Elf Heartland, the Peregrines know that the Knight’s challenge is sure to hide more mystery than a mere joust for passage?
Week 2
Monday April 17th: Kung-Fu Warriors
Legendary China: Sage of Snow Treasure Peak
Join Kung-Fu masters, wise sages and mighty civilizations in a time so distant the only record is legend.
Ancient China suffers under the tyrannical rule of King Jie of Xia, who sits in his Tilt Palace drinking and partying while his people suffer and starve. Most stand by and do nothing, but there are some with the courage and will to resist his evil. A group of fledgling heroes, strangers to one another, are called by a recurring dream to seek training and guidance from a legendary sage. He is their only hope, the teacher and mentor who will help them to end King Jie’s evil and undo the damage he has done. He is The Sage of Snow Treasure Peak.
Tuesday April 18th: Fall of the Aztecs
Aztec Dusk
Experience the heyday of the Aztec Empire, the mightiest kingdom in their known world, and feel their pain as their ancient culture comes toppling down and is trodden beneath iron-shod feet. From the first omens of ruin and disaster to the conquest of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital that lies beneath modern-day Mexico City, take a stand against the invading Spanish and preserve as much as can be saved so at least something of the Aztec culture can survive!
Omens still bedevil the Aztec Empire as spies and scouts bring reports that the strangers from across the sea have made alliance with the rival state of Tlaxaca. To combat this atmosphere of uncertainty the Emperor sends a group who impressed him during recent ceremonies to solidify the Triple Alliance, the foundation on which the Empire rests. Venturing through the jungle and facing not only its native dangers but Tlaxacan and Spanish interference, they must be fearsome, cunning, and wise if they are to avert the looming Aztec Dusk.

Monday January 9th
Time Bandit – King Solomon’s Mines![](https://aeonacademy.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Time-Bandits-alt-Set-image-300x281.jpeg)
What better way to visit significant times and places in history and culture than as a member of the ʻTime Banditsʼ? This band of multifarious midgets once served the Supreme Being, making all the small things like boulders and shrubs until they angered him by making a particularly smelly bush. After being harshly scolded they petulantly stole His Map to All-of-Space-and Time and are now travelling through portals therein identified… stealing the greatest treasures ever known at the moments of greatest opportunity! (Just as we have stolen this idea from some of the original Monty Python team, ahem).
Since ancient days people have believed that somewhere in deepest Africa lies the source of legendary King Solomon’s renowned wealth. Any one reading the famous 19th century novel ‘King Solomon’s Mines’ might believe they know exactly where it is. So little wonder that the Time Bandits are heading to the story’s location at exactly the moment the expedition lead by adventurer Alan Quartermain brings ruin to the hidden valley of Kukuanaland and creates just the kind of opportunity they are looking for.

Sea of Greek Legends
Take up the role of one of the adventurous crew onboard the Greek hero Odysseus’ ship sailing back to their homeland after the decade-long Trojan War. Legend tells best of the actions of the great hero himself, but we can easily imagine that he was at his best when supported by wily companions.
After a string of misfortunes brought about by the sea god Poseidon, Odysseus’ once-mighty fleet has been reduced to but a single ship and its crew. Imagine their joy when, stopping at a lush island to resupply, they discover a banquet fit for the gods laid out for them by mysterious hands. All is not as it seems, however, on the Isle of the lonely and powerful sorceress, Circe!
Can your wits make up for the foolhardiness of your captain and hero Odysseus, on the dangerous Isle of Circe?

Sites of mystic wonder, the Elf-Towers mark nodes of earth-power flowing through the Ancientmost Realm.

Sailing up the Great River towards the splendid capital of the Ancient Realm, the Peregrines escape pursuit by Imperial navy ships and sudden attack by giant ravens, only to be shipwrecked on the rocky shores of the Keepers Isle, the isle of tombs, where it is said every six feet belongs to a chief or a king or a queen who died long ago, and the only living beings are ‘the Keepers’, mysterious members of the ‘Black Branch’ of the Realm’s druidic religion.
Do you have the making of a true Peregrine? Come solve the mystery of the Keepers Isle.
