Characterization - A lot of you definitely impressed me with your characterization of the royals. Kalix portrayed Nassia and Kyren really well, and the interaction made it an interesting read. Jaeyria definitely portrayed Nassia the best, and had the longest, most intense interaction. Many of you portrayed Vaxon extremely well. But the one that impressed me the most with their characterization - that actually changed my characters perspective on things, and the one who wins this award,  is Eiridan Stormblessed and his conversation not only with Vassti, but especially with Kyren. Congratulations!

Creativity - Okay there were just absolutely too many of you to only hand this out once. So I've decided to hand this out to two people I think is deserving. Zentra your unique plot twists, with Dane being Mathas son, which I completely fell for, and then the twist at the end that he turned her in. Mordzar with the fight scene and all the world building you did with Castre was absolutely brilliant. Eriswen with the battle and then trying to kill Vaxon was definitely a shock. Eiridan with a similar battle as well.  But the ones that impressed me the most, that win the award are Aelia Zephyr and Chiara Gonzolas! Congratulations. 

All of you have won three extra points added onto your overall score.

Since this round was the sponsorship round, there were no deaths and ballots, so that rankings doesn't yet apply. 

Also, since there are a lot of you, please let me know if I accidentally forgot anyone, and I'm going to go ahead and apologize now! Sorry! Sponsorships will be announced soon (hopefully). It's such a hard decision! :)
