The Literomantic Games November 2023
The Literomantic Games are an international competition of Literomancy sponsored by the Great Houses for the Tourney of Tales and now the 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 War wins the Literomantic Cup*, and each participant with 30 points receives a gold medal*.
Each cutoff, the House with the most cumulative points will be permitted to choose one Tome Knight participating in the Literomantic Games to grant immunity from the Wheel of Misfortune for that cutoff.
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.
