Con Morhen
Program

We're opening the gates of the Con Morhen festival: The Cursed Heart. Check in at the info booth, wet your throat with something good, and start exploring!

Are you lost? Or do you just need to ask where the great people were, where to find good drinks, and what rule number six of the festival's Ten Commandments means? Then stop by the information booth and get some advice!

Shorten your wait for the next lecture or come play with friends in our Board Game Lounge. We have both classic and modern board games for you, and of course, the new Witcher board game, The Witcher: Old World, is a must-try.

Our team will help you choose games and explain the rules if needed.

Come and taste our liquid specialties. Whether you're tempted by our Bjes beer, a rich selection of mead, or an exotic cocktail, everyone will find something to enjoy.

You can find us at the Thirsty window bar, Drink Bar, Mead bar or at poetic Bar Splattered titty bar.

Closing hours: Thirsty window bar (23:00), Drink Bar (00:00), Mead bar (01:00) and Bar Splattered titty bar (??:??)

For weary souls seeking rest, good drinks, and above all, quality hookah, the Teahouse awaits, ready to satisfy all these desires.

How about Gwent? Are you interested in The Witcher card game? Do you want to try it out or at least take a look? Then visit the Gwent booth at the Novigrad Tent!

A lecture with a workshop focusing on swords, where participants will try out several basic techniques of spinning and fencing with swords. Suitable for beginners and advanced participants alike.

Capture memories in our themed photo booth. Whether alone, with friends, or with definitely not-offensive slogans in hand, this is your chance to get proof of your visit to Con Morhen.

For anyone who has ever read The Witcher and didn't want to create their own fantasy world, it's as if they haven't truly lived! Many of us are most fascinated by the worlds in which stories take place. This lecture will be about how such worlds are created, how history and other sciences help us in the process, and finally, we will attempt to create our own world or a piece of it.

Vojtěch Šimák

Exhibition of Weapons/possibly Armor - where you can try out various weapons, accompanied by explanation, and potentially a demonstration of fencing techniques - supplemented with images of illuminations, fechtbuchs, etc.

Martin Lukeš a Daniel Richter

Do you want to delve into the mysteries of mead? Appreciate that it's worth not just drinking plain? Then mead tastings are just for you! Our experienced bartenders will take you on a sweet journey of flavors, where everyone is sure to discover a new love that they will return to repeatedly.

Is blue your color? Have you always known that your sole purpose is to proudly stand in the front line with a halberd? Then the soldiers of the Northern armies will ensure that your dreams come true! Undergo rigorous training and become a proud member of the ÚZP in less than half an hour!

Come and listen for a moment to the wise and weary words of those who have been preparing this entertainment for you until the last moment. And now, finally, it's time to enjoy it together!

Con Morhen will showcase a performance by the Ostrava-based band called Dyvina, whose neo-folk music combines early Slavic culture with modern contemporary times - which is evident from the combination of old instruments with electronic elements.

Crash course in the development of medieval military equipment, supplemented with characteristic military elements of individual nations from the world of The Witcher.

Do you want to participate in the convention game? Then stop by to hear what awaits you and what you shouldn't miss.

At Con Morhen: The Cursed Hearts, you can also dance to the Musica Canora band. They play Gothic and Renaissance music using contemporary instruments, such as the lute, shawm or Gothic bagpipes. You’re in for some authentic and energetic medieval blast! Apart from their concert, they will also prepare a show in the inn for you.

Introduction to the storyline of Con Morhen: The Cursed Hearts.

We’re not done with introducing the music bands for Thursday at Con Morhen: The Cursed Hearts yet. We are already looking forward to Five Leaf Clover, an Irish folk-rock band from Prague. Their music is created from pure joy, love for sea, and passion for Ireland, Scotland and good rock – all that with a flavour of single malt whisky and strong rum.

In popular imagination, the history of sex appears straightforward. For centuries, people in Christian Western society lived under sexual repression, maintained by fear of sin, combined with utter ignorance of their own bodies. In reality, the history of human sexuality is much more intriguing and wild. In this evening discussion, we will explore how people perceived their own bodies and the bodies of others in medieval culture, which in many respects differed greatly from ours, yet in many ways remains the same.

Kothy

Because a morning without coffee is essentially just a groggy noon, quality coffee must not be missing at Con Morhen! Professionals in the art of roasted beans will take care of your most desperate needs. Look for the outdoor café near the back tavern.

When seeking salvation, follow the signs or ask the luckier ones around who have already replenished their caffeine batteries today.

Shorten your wait for the next lecture or come play with friends in our Board Game Lounge. We have both classic and modern board games for you, and of course, the new Witcher board game, The Witcher: Old World, is a must-try.

Our team will help you choose games and explain the rules if needed.

For modern people weary of old life, there is an oasis of gaming tranquility and peace in the form of a PC gaming lounge.

Visit great small art vendors in the safety of our Novigrad Tent! Here you'll find smaller vendors who will surely surprise and captivate you with their products!

You can admire or enrich your home with pieces from Red Head Witch, Plishel, V rouše vlčím, Help Monsters, Celeby Crafts and Rcacze.

Come and taste our liquid specialties. Whether you're tempted by our Bjes beer, a rich selection of mead, or an exotic cocktail, everyone will find something to enjoy.

Capture memories in our themed photo booth. Whether alone, with friends, or with definitely not-offensive slogans in hand, this is your chance to get proof of your visit to Con Morhen.

Experienced visitors already know that one won't be bored here, especially non-humans. Our cunning band of elven jugglers is ready to aerate your shirt with arrows, enchant your women, and walk away with your boots. Stop by and say hello. We dare you.

In the former mead cellar, this year we've anchored a gang of Mahakam dwarves.

Whether you want to learn more about these fascinating stout creatures, turn them over for some money, or snatch up a few smaller gemstones, this is the right place for you!

They welcome individuals and groups, and if you don't resist, you'll experience dwarf craftsmanship at its finest and leave with a curiosity from the local gnome merchant.

Visit the historical encampment where you can experience firsthand how alive history still is. Explore and taste the period cuisine based on old recipes, demonstrations of weapons, armor, and equipment, or engage in cultured conversation with any member of the camp.

In the stylish camp at Con Morhen, you can visit the officers' club of the Nazair Brigade. Stop by for a glass of wine or mead or play dice with Nilfgaardian envoys. And know that serving the Great Sun always pays off. You'll recognize them easily by their uniforms, so don't hesitate to ask. Among other things, you'll also see the production of chainmail or rosaries.

Furthermore, you can look forward to lectures on the Nilfgaardian Empire, its establishment, and mentality. Which periods of our real history inspired Nilfgaard and what analogies do we have for it? What does it actually offer, and why is this empire not as black as it might seem at first glance.

Or you can also learn about the Nazair Brigade project itself, its history, and functioning. When and how did it actually originate, what events does it participate in, what does it seek to portray, and where is it evolving?

Come and see the real camp of the mighty Northern army! Have a chat about the issues of Nilfgaardian immigrants or just about the weather, and let yourself be recruited in an unguarded moment for the good of your benevolent leaders.

If you couldn't find our camp, look for the blue color or curse Nilfgaard out loud. Just follow the laughter and applause afterwards.

Workshop where participants will learn the simple technique of fingerloop braiding. Don't have enough knots in your life? Come work on that with us!

Is blue your color? Have you always known that your sole purpose is to proudly stand in the front line with a halberd? Then the soldiers of the Northern armies will ensure that your dreams come true! Undergo rigorous training and become a proud member of the ÚZP in less than half an hour!

"Did the plot armor fail? Injuries didn't heal themselves after meditation and consuming fifty apples? Doctor Loudil will present what awaits you in the field hospital. No anesthesia, but this time with pictures."

Doktor Loudil

Lecture: What do we know about the education system and scholars in The Witcher? And how does it compare to the reality of the late Middle Ages? The lecture will focus on presenting education in the Witcher universe. This portrayal will then be compared to the reality of education in late medieval Bohemia.

Participants will try out the basic types of stitches, take a look at different sewing materials, and will make a small fabric purse for themselves.

How about Gwent? Are you interested in The Witcher card game? Do you want to try it out or at least take a look? Then visit the Gwent booth at the Novigrad Tent!

The theme of this year's workshop is a technique called SlapChop, which allows you to quickly paint models for tabletop games to an acceptable standard. It's nothing complicated, and with a bit of skill, you'll take home a nicely painted model!

You don't need anything to participate in the workshop - but you can bring your own miniature (or more, if you're confident). In this case, it's good to have black primer spray for the miniature.

How do we perceive contemporary dining culture? Eating with utensils from a plate is quite modern; in the Middle Ages, people had a somewhat different dining culture, whether it was about the quantity of meals, meal times, methods of preparation, and of course - ingredients. In this lecture, we will explore what people ate in the past and analyze what both humans and non-humans could eat in Sapkowski's universe.

"For over 12 years, I've been dedicated to the history and LARPing, currently dividing my free time between Nilfgaard, diligent armor collecting, and studying rosaries, paternosters, and associated manufacturing techniques from the early 14th to the late 15th century. Rosaries will be available for viewing and purchase, and I'll be happy to advise you on selection (or make one to order)."

"The Friday concerts at Con Morhen: The Cursed Hearts will kick off with the band Durangir. Their music will transfer us to the harsh Skellige Isles.

Intimate and dissolute, tormenting and harmonious encounters with Death at the intersection of intricate medieval couples and two mischievous friends from the ranks of contemporary medievalists. Unstoppable flow of agricultural metaphors, tragicomic transcendental and eclectic farces escalating into pure expression of brotherly love on the plains of hell. Everything that the Middle Ages was, wasn't, will be, mustn't be, and could be, in a quirky puppet show, fairground booth, three acts, countless sausages, and songs.

A Light-hearted Lecture on Theological Views from the 16th Century that Shape Our Understanding of Ghosts to This Day.

Contemporary Western perceptions and pop-cultural portrayals of ghosts are shaped by a myriad of influences collected over the past few thousand years. However, from time to time, a work emerges from the depths of history that has such a significant impact that its direct influence can still be felt today. And it is precisely one of these obscure books that this lighthearted lecture discusses.

Jerome, known as an enthusiastic folklorist from the streams of Sellen or evening lectures at the Ofir Mission, will tell you about the manifestations of the afterlife in the moonlight. And if you don't know him directly, you surely know one of the illustrations he created for The Witcher community.
