WEEK 2 -doneYOUR TASKS (NO LONGER ACCEPTING Submissions)

task 1

Seek the northernmost reaches of the outer valleys; past the military outposts, the sheer cliffs hide a secret sanctuary - an oasis of steam and silence. Look closely for the path upward to claim your solitude. Find this place, and take a picture of how your character would enjoy the peace and quiet... or otherwise.

task 2

Journey to the lands of the dragons and scale the highest cliffside path where the earth meets the sky. Stand at the very edge of the precipice, look down at the world below, and take a picture that perfectly depicts a person with a severe fear, or delight of height.

task 3

Find the secret cave that looks out over where that metal giant is (or should be) and the goblin settlement. Stand within the shadows, look out at the valley, and take a picture that depicts your character looking on in absolute awe.

task 4

Find the researchers experimenting with strange ingredients inside the valley of the red-robed monks. Join their ranks, pull up a seat at the workbench, and take a picture that shows you are a vital part of the potion-making team.

Week 1 - doneRiddles (no longer accepting submissions)

Riddle 1 (bonus)

Neath purple banner standing tall
Above the bridge and gaping mawLook towards the coiled den
Of jewelled scales that shut out menIn creators rest do blue flames burn
Find this place and treasures earn

Riddle 2

The once proud fortress conquered low
Reclaimed in crimson gales blowFind the stair that leads nowhere
Turn around and there be found
Spires pair high in the air
On dusty mound where royals boundHe who sings melodies of kings
Avoids specters upon his wingsIn the depths far below
Seek the golden lanterns glow

Riddle 3

Precious water deep and vast
Avert thy eyes from eden's mastToward the rock and liquid stone
Into cyan abyss flownBreak the plane of Terra firm
And look upon the sandy bermHere be found the giants head
Made of substance aforesaid

Riddle 4

Beneath the canopy where branches weave
A silent secret that few believeStep past the trees into the deep embrace
To find the darkness of a primal placeI hold no silver, gold, or gemstone prize
Just ink-black waters hidden from the skiesI rest where life is quietly begun
Forever sheltered from the burning sunWhere the Blessed pray and shadows bloom
You'll find me waiting in a rocky room

Riddle 5

Carved from the cliffside, stone and grand
I watch the borders of this landLook up to where three pillars rise
Reaching toward the cloudy skiesA home where scales and mortals met
Before the sun of peace had setA relic of a bygone age
Perched high upon a rocky stage
