In Character

Welcome to the first event of the Brotherhood Festival of Essay Writing! You must subscribe to this competition in order to see the available questions. No peeking though! The questions will be hidden until the event begins. The theme for this event is The Old Republic. Choose your question and write an essay. It is as easy as that, but it is entirely up to you how you answer it. Your argument is what's important here. Let it be engaging, thoughtful and insightful and I'm sure you'll do well.
