Good Evening Sapience,

Today we will revive old traditions. I will be hosting a writing competition for any who wish to earn a few credits with their skillful prose.

First will earn 50cr, second will gain 20cr, and third shall take 5cr.

I will only be accepting works based around the concept of thus:
"Your closest friend has a hidden secret
that you have innocently stumbled upon."

All entries will be sent by letter, titled, and signed. No entries will be accepted after the 25th of Aeguary, 809 A.F. This should be rather close to the Serenade if not precisely so. These letters will be pasted into a journal to ensure their preservation. This journal may be find itself in public libraries in the future.

Like the divinely held competitions, entries must abide by the three rules for bardics outlined in HELP BARDICS.

Have at.
