Oooh, yes! I didn't get to participate last time. So excited!
EDIT: Just clicked on that link about the three-syllable names and I am so glad I did.

Dragon Name Contest #2 |
January 4, 2015
It's time to kick off the new year with a contest! For anyone who didn't get to participate the first time around, the dragon name contest is back. Your task is to create a dragon name of your own and write a short Word Wall dedicated to your dragon. Be sure to take a look at the previous winners! Winning entries will be featured in a collection here in the Library. You don’t need to be a member to enter, but if you are there’s a Here's one of the winning entries from the previous dragon name contest for example: Foduiiz “Frost Devour Ice” Faal sahrot Foduiiz The mighty Foduiiz Contest Entry GuidelinesNames should consist of 2-3 words in the dragon language and be no more than 3 syllables in length. Entries with dragon names that are longer than 3 syllables are unlikely to be considered! Read the Dragon Names & Shouts lesson for more guidelines and ideas regarding dragon names. Word Walls should be roughly between 10-30 words in length, or approximately 2-4 lines. As shown in the example above, Word Walls tend to be very brief and like to rely on context clues for full meaning. Submit text only – you’re more than welcome to make your own graphics or images based on your dragon or Word Wall if you’d like, but images are not a part of this contest and will not be used in the results. Entries do not need to be canon-only. You can use any word from the expanded dictionary for your entry. If you participated in the previous contest, you are more than welcome to enter again with a new entry. You can send your entry in a private message to paarthurnax or send it in the body of an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Dragon Name Contest. In this email, please provide:
The contest will be open for entries until Friday, January 23rd. Pruzah pel, good luck! |

Canon only for names and/or word walls?
 DremSahrot January 5, 2015 |
I have an idea involving two different word walls, so two walls for a single dragon. How could I best post these? In addition to Loniizrath's question, if only canon: what about semi-canon, since some words are directly derived from canon? In other words, can we use semi-canon or even new combinations in the walls? |

The contest isn't canon only, so you can use whichever words from the dictionary you'd like. If you want to write multiple word walls, write them out as above, with the Dovahzul first and the English translation second. |
