Good Poet Laureate,

Good Dramathin Hartsboon of Prademar University and Keeper of The Tainted Grove,

There will be parchment set aside near blue lights in the tavern. One will take a piece of paper, write their poem and then hang it on the line of blue lights with the provided for wooden clasp. If the contest becomes very popular there will be a magical sticky paper that will be provided to adhere to the required line.

There will be a quill and pot of ink provided. Please return these tools once finished using them.

A contestant may use their own paper and writing tools as well.

Thank you for your question,

Ophelia Hamlet
 
I will not be able to attend but would love for you to consider this:

A man of fine taste. I will be sponsoring a small prize for the great Ophelia to distribute as well. The arts are just as important as Iron, Copper or even Moridium.

I missed you at market late last year. I hope May doesn’t repeat that missed encounter.

Dear Simon,

Your patronage to the arts is a gift to us all.

Thank you

Dear Heinricht,

Your poem will be written out and placed among the entries. Thank you for sharing your words.

Sincerely,
Ophelia
