LOREFEST is a Voice-sponsored fiction competition that awards bonus Clusters of Ice and First Level Crescents.
The topic for the month of August is Heavy is the Crown. Unexpectedly, you have found yourself as the incoming leader. This can be for a planet, a system, a clan, a gang, etc. The manner of how you got into this position is up to you. For example, it could be a mistake from an election, or you were unknowingly in line for the throne.
How does your character handle this transition, what changes do they make to the planet, and how do they truly feel about this new set of responsibilities?
