Arcane Legends "Take It To The Grave" Halloween Contest | Get Your Story in Game!

[kinzmet]

Probably the best epitaph I've read so far.
Most entries were not epitaphs but poems or anything that rhymes
Remiem said very clearly to: Select a boss, enemy or other NPC in Arcane Legends who met an untimely demise, to be your subject.
But most entries were not demised, like Klaas? Baldur? Eva? and Tavern Keeper?

Sssshhhh!!! Dont tell them! The more people who don't read the rules, the less competition we will have.

Many many epitaphs are exactly that..... a poem. Here is epitaph as defined by wikipedia:

An epitaph (from Greek ἐπιτάφιος epitaphios "a funeral oration" from ἐπί epi "at, over" and τάφος taphos "tomb")[1][2] is a short text honoring a deceased person, strictly speaking that is inscribed on their tombstone or plaque, but also used figuratively. Some are specified by the dead person beforehand, others chosen by those responsible for the burial. An epitaph may be in poem verse; poets have been known to compose their own epitaphs prior to their death, as William Shakespeare did.[3]

Point taken, but how about the 2nd point? Those that are not yet dead as per story of the game it self.

PS: Epitaph is meant to be "honoring" the deceased, but putting a Lock grand crates of the watch on it kinda ruins the essence.

i agree with the fact that the op said pick an npc that has met an untimely demise. Not disputing that.

For the second part of my response if you are referring to my entry and how it included the word lock,
I was merely explaining why and how Jarl died, in poem form. Besides that i found it funny and yet relative to the game.
Honoring a dishonorable fictional character seems pointless instead i had fun with it.

In the end, everyone on this thread in my opinion is making a valiant effort and more importantly participating in the community.

P.S. This thread is meant for contest entries, any further communication you would like to do with me on this subject......feel free to pm me

This is a fun and creative contest, and any of the NPC were fair game. The epitaph gives the author creative freedom to kill off any of the NPC in game including the ones such as Klass and Eva as you mentioned. Great contest, great entries. And the rhyming and poetry entries are some of my personal favorites. Good job everyone!

Character: Uncle Derrin

Epitaph:
Heroes, pass on! Don't waste your time
O'er bad biography and bitter rhyme:
Horrid death I met for Arlor's sake,
Don't grieve for me, or sorrow take,
Hurry, waste not the sacrifice I made.

[Lirael]

An Invalid Epitaph

Pockets empty, Fingers raw
Eyes pinned open, Just a little more
His energy spent
No gold to be made
His eyes fell upon
That rusty old spade

He started to dig, for grave or treasure
The boundaries were blurred; occupation or leisure?
Twas the end of him...
whose greed his slayer?
Here lies the body
of the casual player.
