Competition: Forging Knowledge [Night-Thorn Armory Lesson 1]

Finished

Forging Knowledge [Night-Thorn Armory Lesson 1]

This is the first in a series of Trivia and Fiction competitions pertaining to the art of forging your weapon. At the end of the series I will be awarding the first place overall finisher with a special prize.

When forging a weapon it is best to know the materials you are using. And while most of the materials you will use in the creation of your weapon are common, there are certain unique parts that have been used in the past. So this first lesson will be your chance to learn about these unique components.

You will be asked a series of questions and you will be timed. First place goes to the one who submits all correct answers in the shortest time.

As this is a part of a series your performance in this lesson will contribute to your overall performance. First Place will receive 5 points, Second Place will receive 3 points, Third Place will receive 1 point, and all others will receive no points.
