Thank you to all the mortals who provided entertainment for Me, Lady
Belisaria, and Lady Celiste. This impromptu contest proved that
Aetherius is populated by many talented people!

While all 24 contestants had wonderful performances, a few stood out.
Vaughn performed an enchanting fire dance, Wren told an intriguing myth
about Lady Cassiopeia, Lord Muidel fumbled with magick tricks, and
Juganothion proposed to Lady Belisaria with a severed head. Exactly what
talent that denotes I am not sure, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

And now, the winners:

The third place winner of the contest was Nailo, with a beautifully
performed poem.

In second place was Nisha, with a gown design and a touching poem.

And in first place, surprising everyone present with his hidden lyric
talent, was Valarauko, with his poem about the first huntress.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you to everyone who
participated!

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Bellum, in the year 464 AD.
