Who among you has a wonderful tale to tell? Well, here's your chance to wow us all and win some prizes while you are at it.

How to enter:
Respond to this forum thread with a 300-400 word fictional story about your character or city in Illyriad. Be creative and have fun with it. It can be about your backstory, the establishment or growth of your city, a tale about your commanders, about a holiday your citizens celebrate, about an epic battle... It can be serious, sad, funny, whatever tone you'd like. The choice is yours!

How to win:
Post your new original story before the end of the day on Monday, December 19 Server time (6PM CST). The stories will then be read and winners will be chosen by the GM staff. Winners will be chosen based on originality, creativity and storytelling. (I'm not an English professor and this isn't a class so don't worry if you don't have the best typing or spelling abilities. That will not count against your ability to win.)

Prizes:

One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive: one t-shirt and one poster of their choice from the Illyriad store as well as 1200 Prestige in game.
Two (2) Runner Up winners will receive 500 Prestige in game. Good luck and happy writing. I look forward to reading all of your stories.

Details: Winners will be notified via private message on the forums or via email address to which the winning forum account is registered. You must have a valid Illyriad forum account to enter to win. Only one entry per person per forum account. Prizes paid for by Illyriad Games, Ltd. All entries must respect Illyriad forum rules. Entries can be removed or disqualified if they do not follow the forum rules or if they are not the original content of the poster. Grand prize winner must provide a valid mailing address in order to receive t-shirt and poster prizes. An active Illyriad game account is required to receive Prestige prizes. No substitution for the prizes listed will be given. Winners must respond within 7 days of notification in order to receive prizes. Entries close end of day 12/19/2011.
