Here it is folks! The final round! I originally planned to have more but since so many contestants were eliminated for not completing entries, I've decided to shorten it to a total of 3 rounds. 

Those of you that know me know that I absolutely LOVE Rhun. I wrote an entire book set there (Sands of Rhun) and have always wanted to return to writing about that mysterious land someday.

But now I'm prompting y'all to do it instead! XD

This round will focus on Rhun, and all of the people within this strange eastern realm. You may include characters from other locations but the main focus of this story must be, of course, Easterlings. If you're not sure, feel free to ask! This is what'll make or break your score, especially in regards to the Creativity/Originality section of grading.

I am allowing all of you to use my OCs in this round, because at this point I know each and every one of you can do them justice. Now note, you don't HAVE to. It won't affect your grade one way or another; I'm just giving y'all that option should you wish to. I know making OCs is difficult, especially for one shots XD.

This round will go differently than the others. Instead of eliminating 5 of you, I'm only eliminating 3. The remaining 3 will place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively, and each will receive the awards mentioned in the "Awards" chapter of this book.

The deadline for this round will be Friday, May 10th. Any entries not due by 11:59P.M. Eastern US Time WILL BE ELIMINATED. No exceptions. 

Your word count limit for this round is 3k words.

There will be a Best Cover award for this round as well, but not a Best of Round award for, well... obvious reasons.

Good luck, and may the best writer win!!

Also, anyone who made it past Round 1 will be able to use the Distant Lands Nominee sticker that I'll be posting shortly. You will be able to use it on any of your entries. I'll also be posting the Round 2 winner stickers soon!
