Submissions
Submission 1
Written in Sand
Alexander's armies broke the might of the East, but the greed of Greek hearts could not be contained, and with Alexander's death his empire was consumed by rivalry and ambition. As the western invaders worry one another in their long-standing feuds a new power is rising, a power born of the sands and hot expanse of the desert. Out of Rekem (Petra) the Nabati are rallying. They will unite the tribes of Arabia and lead them in a final stand against the arrogant Greeks who dare to call themselves "master". They will show them the price of tyranny.
Submission 2
To earn a Kingdom
To earn a Kingdom is the tale about the famous hero Aragorn and his quest to become both king of Arnor and Gondor. The war in the North is over and our heroes set out on a even more perilous quest to save Middle-Earth. King Aragorn Elessar raises his challenge and aims to directly assault his way into Mordor. Meanwhile back in Arnor, his son Eldarion acts as Prince-Regent dealing with the governance of the Kingdom in the King's absence. Settling minor disputes and ruling isn't as enjoyable as it's believed to be, certainly not for Eldarion. The One Ring has been found and Eldarion joins the Fellowship who need to make their way to Rivendell where they will take counsel with Elrond. But the Road holds many perils. Will our heroes make it to Imladris and uncover the secrets of the Ring?
Submission 3
Aed, Circenn and the Sea
“Scoan had lost the Stone of Destiny, and with it most of their ancestral land. Most presumed the misfortunes linked. Sorrows begot sorrows in turn, and the Vikings came crashing into Brittania’s shores. Circenn drove them back into the sea, but at a great cost to the people.
King Aed rose to uplift his subjects’ sword arms. Alba was ripe for the taking in the King’s clear eyes. A unified Scotland lay in the exiles’ grasp. He only needed men to fight for it.”
Submission 4
Derc Plays Through World History
Rome's light outshined everything. It enlightened the world for centuries, but nothing lasts forever. The light eventually spread into a wildfire, Rome burned, the world burned, devastated by debauchery, barbarians and the Huns. The world as we know it is no more.
...But every end is also a new beginning.
Good luck to everyone!
