Lore Writing Contest

[Hound]

Hello all!

It's time to get those creative juices flowing, because I want to add some more literature to the module. I invite all of you to write up manuscripts or treatises about aspects of COR's lore that intrigue you - either from your own character's perspective, or even that of a made up minor NPC if your current PC isn't much of an author. The best of the crop will be added into the module as books that can be found in-game, and those that succeed in getting their work added to the module will also receive some DM loot from me. Good luck!

For some contextual inspiration, think about the type of books you can find in games like the Elder Scrolls series.

Please send me a discord PM with a link to your submission, which should be in the 'Books and Publications of the City' subforum. Your deadline is 1st September.


NOTE: Please remember that artwork, while lovely and encouraged, can't be displayed on in-game books. Please include a caption for any artwork you use in your books describing what it is for the in-game version.
