Any restriction on who can and cannot participate?

Nope, anyone is welcome to participate in the contest! Great question!

this is a good idea. hopefully you get a lot of entries.

looks interesting. i am going to see what we can come up with

Working on an entry right now. This sounds like a lot of fun!

Since you decided to do this during the month of October and I wanted to keep with the theme, I went with a jack-o-lantern. I do hope posting in the thread is fine. If not let me know and I will delete and send this wherever you like.

I was going to post this on my alt account but then realized that newbie accounts can't post links to pictures. :( My alt has a little mayordom in Newel county. She lives deep in the back woods and wanders the Kingdom of Bordweall collecting the stories of its citizens, both noble and commoner alike. She retreats to her manor and writes those stories down and then she publishes them from page to bound book in her scriptorium. She then sends her people out to distribute her works thus spreading her love of the people throughout the land. Also encouraging them to bring back books to furnish her extensive library, and then repeats the cycle once again each summer season. This pumpkin might have adorned her fall table as a decoration.

So far we have two entries! Thank you, Varhukan and Gorawyn for your submissions. Just remember folks, you can submit multiple entries for a greater chance to win a Settler's Package!

No limit to the number of entries for this contest!

Looking forward to seeing what else we have coming up.

Thank you, Koko! I loved the design!

Lemme post the link for you.

Entry#1 from Kiko

“Ode to Shield wall”

In the middle of war My friends fall to the ground I am eager to run Only one thing can calm My desire to hide It inspires our courage Our charge is a glow “Shield wall strong” Is the Bordweall flow

When it’s cold at night And we are out on a hunt The wolves howl The wind whistles But one thought keeps me on The Shield wall at home

I do pledge my life To the defense of Bordweall We shall never stand alone “Shield wall strong!

Has a strong message to it with some vivid imagery. Thank you for that, Kiko. And we have one more entry.
