Specifics

This competition is designed to determine which of Qel-Droma's Phyles, Prophecy or Dark Orb, is the better. The Phyle War will consist of three events:

1. Poetry Competition: Freestyle, 1 page maximum Topic: A narrative telling of the construction of the new HQD temple, using the write-up on the Arcona website as a guide for the chain of events.

2. ACC Competition: Participating members pair up for ACC matches. The QUA or AED assigns each pair a specific location in/around the HQD temple as their battle arena. Emphasis here is to “flesh out” these locations through descriptions in posts, as well as giving a good fight of it.

3. Short Story Competition: 2 pages minimum, 12 size font, double-spaced, .doc or .txt Topic: Tell a story concerning a new, significant event in your character’s life, in which the majority of events either occur in, or are connected to, the HQD temple. Emphasis on individual character development.

The Quaestor and Aedile will judge all three events, and will determine the winners at the end of the competition. Any possible questions about the competition and/or its events can be directed at QUA Strategos and AED Vassan.
