Nearly a hundred competitors submitted designs to compete in the
Challenge of Beauty! After months of deliberation, the Divine Judges
(who scored without knowledge of the artist or cartel) finally came to
their decision. This was the last challenge before the Final Ascension
which occurs next week!

The winner and holder of the Seal of Beauty is Thayan of Gaudiguch with
an engraved, oakwood story book with rice paper inserts!

Second Place and 700 credits went to Irillia of Hallifax for a jewelled
watch depicting Zvoltz and Isune!

Third Place and 500 credits went to Lavinya of Magnagora for a tapestry
of the Children of Yudhe!

Fourth Place and 250 credits went to Daraius of Hallifax for a triptych
throne depicting Tosha's ascension!

Fifth Place and 100 credits went to Raeri of New Celest for an elegant
band of cerulean waves and honeyed starlight!

For those who wish to peruse the designs, they are available for your
viewing pleasure at the Cave of Beauty!

We would also like to give honorable mentions to the following designers
who scored high and were worthy contenders: Gabriella (the Wildecraft
Cartel), Chakraja (Cartel IHT), Eritheyl (Cartel RG), and Alaksanteri
(the Bloodink Bookbinding Cartel).

Well done, everyone!
