Aiya Scott,
Sadly, Jacob is right - after several solid years of Middle-earthen adventure, including major presences on the Tolkien Track at Dragon*Con (among other places), Elfstone is essentially defunct. As the rules designer and primary director, I now find it almost impossible to LARP, due to a busy acting career, in addition to participating in LARPing. And most of our chief members have otherwise occupied lives as well, although, admittedly, there is still an urge to grab a foam latex blade or two and strike off into Mordor (or Stygia or whatever) for some rousing adventure.
Savage Kingdoms is still very largely in the formation stages, and pending further interest, might see the light of Hyboria at some point. However, as reasons stated above, it's been a long and tortuous road and so we hold our bated breath in hopes that more folks will, not only show deep excitement for this project, but actually step forward to assist. Like I said, I no longer have the time to do most of the LARP direction and production.
So, aye, stay in touch, and if the winds and the gods are with us, maybe we'll have something up and running in a few months. Autumn doth often inspire me, after all!

Hail and well met!
As much as I love to see new interest in Elfstone,It saddens me to tell you that Elfstone has been largely inactive for at least the past three years now. The group just drifted apart after several years of good LARPing in the lands of Middle-earth. Much as I would love to see the group rise from the ashes, I do not see it happening unless there was a huge influx of interest (perhaps from the new Hobbit film in 2013). We have another group called Savage Kingdoms set in the world of Conan the Cimmerion and there was some talk of a combat practice amongst those few of us who remain the last weekend of August. I don't see that a few Elfstone scenarios would be too out of place.
May your swords ever be sharp!
