Very deserving winners. I enjoyed reading all three.
Although I particularly enjoyed the humour of the saddlemaker's boy. ^^

Long ago, in lands where Humans,Elves,Orcs or Dwarves were as rare as Dragin Riders in Illyriad, in lands where huge Forests covered most of the land, where vast oceans teeming with hosts of unique species, nature ruled Supreme. Different animals roamed the land, with the Lion as their Wise and Noble King, the Tiger as the Supreme Commander of the Kings Royal Army, the Fox as the Kings adviser and the Wolf as the Kings savage Blackhand, carrying out the Kings orders in the Land and punishing all Wrong doers. This was how the land was ruled. The sky was ruled by the Birds led by the Eagle and the Oceans by the Fishes under the rule of Samseth. All three realms had their ambassadors who saw that no realm undermined the other. This peace lasted for several millenia, but was then interrupted. The apes, long banished for not swearing allegiance to the King and hostility towards other land animals evolved into a new race, that of Man. And Man in pure Ignorance, Greed,Selfishness and unimagined Cruelty began enslaving the three Realms. At first, He did not do unreparable damage, and was ignored. But soon He grew Bolder and his actions, harsher. He began to destroy Nature The Three Rulers tried negotiating, but Man did not relent. And it was so that the Three Great Kingdoms of the Three Realms were destroyed. Fearing the End was near, the Kings ordered their Subjects to leave the world and flee to distant lands still safe from Humans and their new weapon, Technology. Soon they came to a portal which was so bizzare that the animals would rather remain in their own world than cross it. Only the wolves had the courage to cross it, and so they did. As As they crossed it, something changed within them, their anger at the humans, their absolute Hate, Vansihed. All that remained were the memories.And something else changed too. They had turned into the ones they hated most,the ones responsible for their demise, they had turned into Humans, but their sense of sight smell and hearing were still the same. After lamenting their fate, for they could not cross the portal again, realization hit them. The land they saw was still young, ruled by Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and their old enemies, the Humans. It was their destiny to rule, not as wolves but as Humans, and forgo the errors they had committed. They were destined to correct the wrongs of the humans. And it was so that my Nation was born, a nation Ruled by Maerwolf, whose name means "The only Wolf."

Greetings all!
The judges have deliberated and chosen 3 outstanding stories from all of our entries. And the winners are.... *drum roll*
In first place for the grand prize of one t-shirt and poster from the Illyriad store as well as 1200 prestige, Raatalagk for the story "Descent." Wonderful storytelling and huge congratulations to our Orcish Illyrian.
Our two runners up who will get 500 prestige each are: Zel VonAnzy for "The Saddlemaker's Son" and Tam's heroic tale of victory verses the Cyclops.
Great job! Thanks to everyone who participated. There were so many great stories, it has been a pleasure to read. I'm continually impressed by the creativity and dedication of the Illyriad community.
