November

Game of Tomes is a fast paced competition where all the Houses of the living try to out-write the Undead Horde. The Undead Horde takes over the House with the lowest word count at each results stream and gains one third of the writers from the fallen House.

April and July

Tourney of Tales is a more relaxed, friendly competition between the Houses.

Power of the Word

In our Lore, writers use powerful magic based on the written word, called Literomancy, to affect the world around them. We chose this because we truly feel that the written word can change people and ultimately our world.
