In the Annals of House Palpatine are many a tale about many a member… their trials, their tribulations… all in the name of greater power…

For many, the construction of the lightsaber proves to be a daunting task. For some, acquiring the pieces necessary proves to be an enormous struggle. For others, it is the act of assembling it, once and for all, that proves to be more than they had ever imagined. And then there are those who have passed their trials, and seek to aid others… or discourage those who they believe to be unworthy…

Success or failure… victory or defeat… all tales are stored here, in the Annals of House Palpatine…

Arts competition! Submit a creative work (fiction is likely the norm, but other creative works will be accepted) intended to fulfill your next creative work requirement. This is intended to help those who have not yet completed the creative work requirements for future ranks.

If you have yet to achieve the rank of Stalker (and do not have a previously submitted creative work), this should be about finding the parts you need to assemble a lightsaber.

If you have achieved the rank of Stalker (or have already submitted a creative work about finding your lightsaber pieces), this should be about assembling your lightsaber.

For those who already hold the blade – you are welcome to compete as well! For you, I ask that you submit a piece about your efforts to help (or hinder) other members of House Palpatine in their respective quests. The choice is yours!

You're more than welcome to collaborate with each other or bounce ideas off one another, but the submitted work must ultimately be your own.

Runs from May 1st – May 31st (EH Time)

Submissions should be sent directly to me (e-mail at locke.f.setzer@gmail.com or through Discord)

One submission per member (you may replace an existing submission with another, if desired, but you must tell me which to use; otherwise, I'll use the last submitted)

Fiction entries are limited to a word count between 1000 - 6000 words.

No AI derived creations for fiction/art/music/etc.

Non-fiction entries (art being the most common, but don’t let me tell you what to do! Would love a music entry...) will be accepted, but I may need further consultation with the Herald to determine if it can be accepted for fulfilling your creative work requirement. Regardless, it will be accepted as an entry in this competition.
