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 also a Contest Entry GuidelinesSend your entry in an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Dragon Cult Contest – your name. You can send your submission in the body of the email. If it's long, consider attaching it as a Word document or a Google doc. Please provide English translations where necessary. (Individual dragon words or small sentences don't need translations, but a translation would be helpful if you're writing a dragon poem or story.) Your entry can be of any subject, but must relate to the Dragon Cult and make use of the dragon language in some significant way. If you have an entry idea you aren't sure about, feel free to share your idea in the comments below. Poetry entries should be at least 40 words in length, and story entries should be at least 250 words in length. Entries should use the vocabulary found in the main dictionary. Entries that make use of vocabulary found in the Legacy Dictionary will not qualify for the contest. You are encouraged to make compound words and use the vocabulary as creatively as you see fit. This contest will be open for entries until Sunday, February 26th. Pruzah pel! |

Awesome, I don't have a planned story yet, but I like to feel more free. Also the cultist armor got me through most of my first Skyrim playthrough, basically until I killed Miraak (spelled it wrong last post) and got his armor, so I'm kind of in debt to them. |

Are we allowed to submit multiple, but separate writings? Like, can we submit two or more entirely different entries, or is it a one-submission only thing? |

Vokun ah Sure, you can write about whatever you'd like related to the Dragon Cult. Make sure it incorporates the dragon language in some way.
If you have multiple, short entries you're having a hard time choosing between, feel free to submit them. Otherwise I'd say focus on one entry. Only one entry will be eligible to win if multiple are submitted. |

"An expedition to Bromjunaar, the ancient capital of Skyrim, has unearthed a cache of new artifacts, literature, and lore. What ancient secrets are now discovered?" Basically, it just has to be found in Bromjunaar. In real life there's Roman glass in England because the Empire went there, so I'm sure the Romans brought some English stuff back with them to Rome. |
