Libertas OCT

High above the planet, Gatekeeper watched. Thick clouds and rolling rainbow energy coursed over the sphere, washed red by the light of two weak suns. This was the task he had been created to fulfill. He had already kept his vigil for over a century of this world’s time, though Time had lost its meaning as well in the Breaking. Soon though, he would be unable to watch without aid.

Gatekeeper wished to complete his other charge while he still could.

Some had survived, despite the world, despite the warping, despite the war. Some sentient creatures had been able to make Temporus their home, sheltered at the heart of Eos City in a lee of the distortions. Survival and rehabitation were theoretically possible. He couldn’t bring back those who had lived here before, but he could bring the planet back to life.

It was time.


Welcome to Libertas OCT. This is a literature-only Original Character Tournament set in the abandoned and ruined city of Eos, hosted by LadyRiverlark. Characters from all worlds and all times are being brought together in this survival mystery tournament, tossed into the middle of a power-struggle for a dead planet. At the end of the struggle, only the person on top will be able to dictate the future of Eos- if it has one at all.

This journal will have any new announcements and updates as things progress.




I checked with the finalists again. Work continues apace, but both are really busy with real life, plus super long entries. With that in mind, I'm giving them more time to write. I rather wait for excellent entries than rush the ending on this.

As such, the final round is ongoing. Details are in the round four journal. Feel free to take time to write anything you want to post as between round sorts of things too. You've got three weeks to write, with the new deadline being June 29th July 7th July 15th at 11:59PM PST, so you've got of time.

I'll be checking in with the finalists on how things are going closer to that deadline and we'll go from there.
