I like the Greybeards meditation on words of power, but I don't know where to go from there. I study with them a lot, but I don't know what exactly you want for this. What they do or what?

Dovahzul Book Contest |
February 18, 2014
Skyrim is a land furnished with goblets, daggers stabbed into tables, and books. Lots of books. Previous contests have had us writing haiku and Word Walls. This time we’re going to sink our teeth into something more involved! Your challenge is to write a book either in Dovahzul or about Dovahzul modeled after the ones found in The Elder Scrolls games. Winning entries will be featured in a collection here in the Library. You don’t need to be a member to enter, but if you are there’s a 120 gold prize for the top 3 entries. We’re also hoping to make winning entries into a mod of books that can be used in-game! Need inspiration for ideas? Here are a few that would be exactly like what we’re looking for:
Furthermore, here are some tips for success:
Contest Entry GuidelinesEntries should be no longer than 1,500 words in length. Your entry should be written in Dovahzul (all or partially) or be about Dovahzul in some way. Ideal entries are in-universe and lore-friendly. Dovahzul can be written in-alphabet or in the Roman alphabet. No translation is required for entries written in Dovahzul, but provide any notes you think might be helpful for reading. Please send your entry as attachment in an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Dovahzul Book Contest – your name. Word documents would be preferable. In this email, please provide:
A challenge as monumentous as this requires time! This contest will be open for entries all the way until Friday, March 7th. Pruzah pel, happy writing! |

Those are just some starting ideas, it could really be about anything. Recall Paarthurnax's meditations on the Words of Power for Fus, Feim, and Yol. It could be something like that on different words, or maybe how different words embody the Way of the Voice. |

Kind of like a "100 ways to die in Skyrim"? Sure, that could be fun! |

Can it be a letter or does it have to be a book? |

Jarlkingt I personally won't be doing the mod for this but I'll be sure to ask the person who is. A questline would probably be a bit much, we'll see about the cave. |

Ok Thanks, if you know any high ranked modders, if they can add probably two dragons according to the books. But if not thanks anyways. |

Well you know only add one dragon, and add a questline just for the Dovakhiin to transport part 1 to an npc named (whatever it is in the book). So here is the list I plan: One dragon, Questline that when you find the book you need to take it to the former jarl that was in the book, Allowing the guy (the former Jarl) to become your companion, and maybe allowing you to talk to a dragon priest. Also if no one can do this someone will need to donate skyrim to me so i can get creation kit, because it is not possible with no steam skyrim, ok please pm me if you want to do either one. |
