Game of Tomes Who Will Claim the Iron Tome?

Game of Tomes is a team-based event set in a modern, urban-fantasy world.   Writers choose a House to be their team and turn in word counts throughout the event month. The House with the highest word count at the end of the event wins the Iron Tome.
 
Events run three times a year:
November
Game of Tomes is a fast paced competition where all the Houses of the living try to out-write the Undead Horde. The Undead Horde takes over the House with the lowest word count at each results stream and gains one third of the writers from the fallen House.
April and July
Tourney of Tales is a more relaxed, friendly competition between the Houses.
   
Power of the Word
In our Lore, writers use powerful magic based on the written word, called Literomancy, to affect the world around them. We chose this because we truly feel that the written word can change people and ultimately our world.
