The Literomantic Games July 2023

Original idea by Foxx, adapted by Senna Nightshade
The Literomantic Games are an international competition of Literomancy sponsored by the Great Houses for the Tourney of Tales. The Games are divided into ten equally-weighted events. The House with the most points relative to their population at the end of the Tourney wins the Literomantic Cup*, and each participant with 30 points (or the participant with the most points in an event) receives a gold medal*.   Participants are encouraged to participate in as many events that interest them, and the only real limit is the number of points received per event.   There has been a channel on our Discord created for the Games! Search for #literomantic-games in the Writing category.   If you wish to post your entries to social media, use the tag #litgames to increase visibility!
