The Literomantic Games are an international competition of
Literomancy sponsored by the
Great Houses for the Tourney of Tales and the Word Wars! The Games are divided into ten equally-weighted events. The House with the most points relative to their population at the end of the Games wins the Literomantic Cup*, and each participant with 30 points receives a gold medal*.Those with 20 or more points win silver medals*, and 10 or more points gives you a bronze*! Copper medals are received* for participation.
Participants are encouraged to participate in as many events that interest them, and the only real limit is the number of points received per event.
There has been a channel on our Discord created for the Games! Search for #literomantic-games in the Writing category.
