December Competition Winners

December brought a merry feast of competitions to the table to test your ingenuity and creativity. Read on to find out who won.

Design a God competition

Congratulations to Viiiains, whose amazing design for Irid, God of the Wilderness has won a Zarosian Godsword.

Here's the design:

Irid, God of the Wilderness

Irid is the god of the wilderness, bound to the cursed land and bearing a terrifying visage.

Irid's creation, and existence, is somewhat of a mystery. Many tales are told about the only god who dares lay home in the wilderness, yet very few manage to escape an encounter.

Some stories claim the Wilderness god traps the souls of the unfortunate men and women that become lost in the Wilderness and infuses them into his own skin. However, others have claimed of being hopelessly lost and somehow finding their way home with an unseen and unknown guide.
