The Square Of Heroes

by Kassy

This great square lies a few feet below the level of the surrounding streets. A place of where emotions run high; a place of both awe, and despair.

In the capitol city of the northern kingdom, Ak-Var; the City of Knights, exists the Square of Heroes. This square is surrounded by life sized statues of the kingdom's bravest and most valiant champions. During the majority of the year it is used as a place where the city's finest troops conduct their drills and carry out their parades. Once a year during the winter months wizards of the White Order create a large temple of ice, where the Carnival de Culture takes place.

The Square is currently being restored after being defaced, probably by the widows of young soldiers.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for The Square Of Heroes

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    A good 100 word sub though I would have liked an explanation on what the Carnival de Culture is actually about.

      Thanks Moonlake. The 100 Word Challenges that I'm doing at the moment are to get back into writing, a little each day, these 3 that I've submitted today have been done over the weekend and this is the first chance I've had to submit them.

      I am primarily using these to supplement my world building. I'll add it to my list.
