LOREFEST is a Voice-sponsored fiction competition that awards bonus Clusters of Ice and First Level Crescents.

The topic for the month of September is Edumacated. Every moment in life is a learning moment. And while our characters all have a vast set of skill sets and knowledge bases, they don’t always learn the lesson set out before them.

Visit a point in your character’s history where they failed to learn an important lesson. Was it just a class concept like algebra? Was it the school of the street and failing to learn to not trust those damn Hutts? Was it a lesson in love where they missed all the signals?

Not everyone can know everything, so explore with any or all of your characters failing to pick up that one important concept right in front of them.
