Real MedievalMerciless mercenaries making money from murderReal Medieval by ~IdleScribbler
Bright, brash boys fighting in horrible, bloody battles
Pillage and rape ravaging the realm
Disease and death darkening the days
Flaming family trees from fearsome foreign foes

Holding him hostage for but a heap of gold
But money means too much; more sons can be made
Merchants' meals making mean men fat
Peasants' pitiful pay making pleasant people die
Wonderful women burned alive for witchcraft
... Medieval merriness? Mostly a lie.

Anyone can enter! We're trying to make this as big as possible, so members, non-members and their dogs may enter! Bare in mind, however, that the very first round will be an audition. Only 50 people will then be selected to go through to the competition, so make sure you write to the very best of your ability!
At the end of every round, 5 people will be eliminated. We will celebrate the best poet of that round by giving them small prizes.
