    Default Idea for history contest

    As the Writing contest vote is underway in the Mead Hall, I had an idea. Why not have a similar competition in the Monastery? The winner would get the Historian award under their username and a prize. Runner up would also get a prize. The contest would be very much like the writing one: write something maximum 2000 words long on an historical subject of you choice. Does anyone like the idea?

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Gregoshi returns from a fishing trip sometime this Wednesday. Maybe you guys could flesh out your ideas in the meantime, and see if he likes it (it helps to have someone on staff run such contests so that threads and polls get managed directly).
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Henry said it.

    A 2000 word story about your favourite historical fact. Simple as that.
