«Battle Writing Tournament» The Dragon Games ~ Meet the winners!

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry about the delay. Work problems, connection problems, computer problems... I'm having them all right now. But I promised to start the new round today and I will, even if I didn't get to post the story I intended to, and there won't be much of an introduction to this new round. Some things would make more sense if I'd managed to post. Maybe I will, eventually. Oh, and Alex, we need to talk if you want your upcoming stories and mine to make any sense. Otherwise there will be continuity issues and that won't be good.

The second round of DT-hosted tournaments is usually the trickiest. You should be able to realize why as you write your battles. This time the Floating Stadium will be hovering above Gaen Vale, the capital of Avelorn and, technically, of Ulthuan (the provinces are mostly autonomous, so only the critical nation-wide decisions are made in Gaen Vale). There are numerous cultural and historical monuments in this island city, most notably a number of ancient temples which used to be among the most important in the times before the Sundering. Participants are encouraged to visit at least one of them during their stay in Gaen Vale.

Also, everyone please check the map in order to avoid geographical mistakes.

The stadium is the same as before, but the arena will be adapted before each battle, providing a landscape that is suitable for each pair of contestants (make of that what you may).

Contestants for the Second Round:

• Raini the Persian vs. Gengar
• Sinopa the Ninetales vs. Vespiquen
• Bandit the Kecleon vs. Whismur
• Mossjito the Tangela vs. Dewott
• Macedon the Magby vs. Skiploom

You all have time until then 25th to submit your stories. I recommend that you start writing them right away. Feel free to contact me if there's anything you need to know.
