Sapience,

Though the Wheel turns, some matters warrant expeditious conclusion.

I received a modest yet fine number of entries for the contest of children's stories. I will first note that they are all of considerable quality, and make fine tales to pass down the generations. All of them are included in the books that are already on the way to Achaea's public libraries and private collections. Let them present and expose the culture of our continent.

My appreciations to all who contributed their stories. Though all of them are of varied disinctions and play to differing strengths, nonetheless three were to be picked in some order. And so:

"Ten Little Adventurers", by Liella Desmijr - 100 credits
"The Other Half", by Truax Diaboli - 75 credits
"The Sparrow and the Meadow", by Keturah Lighthawk Silvertongue Obuun - 50 credits

To reiterate on quality of other submissions, their authors shall also receive 25 credits each.

I invite readers to make their own judgement of the texts once they locate the books titled as "Tales of Sapience". And to the writers, well done.
