Ahem. Let's try this again.

For the next ten months I shall be accepting essays of approximately 500
words in length. The essays can focus on one of three prompts, and they
shall be placed in a book and presented to a few different
organizations, and even the Lady Magick Herself.

Every quality essay, and I cannot stress it enough when I write quality,
will be repaid with 2,000 gold sovereigns. At the end of the ten months,
all the essays will be collected and the essay that a council consisting
of myself and a few others whose area of expertise pertains to Magickal
studies will select an essay that we deem the best of all and gift the
author with 15,000 gold sovereigns, and a select portion of the book to
come.

As such, it is imperative to leave your name upon the essay.

The prompts to choose from are as follows:

- Explain the differences between the Dark Magicks and those encouraged
by the Lady Magick. Further, elaborate on how the Magicks encouraged by
the Lady are used in an effort to better the population of Aetherius.

- Elaborate on how Magickal advancements have furthered scientific
studies. This is a somewhat broad prompt and should allow for some truly
original responses.

- How benevolent Magicks have personally bettered your life.

This contest is open to all who should desire to write, regardless of
status to organizations and cities. When the book is finished, Antioch,
Khandava, Stavenn, Celidon will be handed delivered free copies of this
book, along with all Kinsarmarian organizations.

Additional copies will cost the price of copying a book in any library.

May Magicks guide your quills.
