Monthly Feat Entry Requirements

• Wild Rukaan only. 

• Entry must be fullbody colored with complex background or 800+ words (1200+ for 2 Rukaan)

• Collaborations are allowed in classes which allow more than one Rukaan per piece, please list who did what portions of the image/literature

• "Sheets" are not permitted, each Rukaan may only be entered into one class per submission

• Many classes are set in Lore Locations.

• Leasing is not allowed.

Labyrinth Run (speed bonus) 

The frost giants have dug a labyrinth of deep trenches into the ice, so that they can stand over the exit and look down on all the Rukaan trying to make their way through. Because a labyrinth has only one path, the challenge will be not getting lost or encountering dead ends but frost giants throwing rocks down on you or trying to confuse you or scare you into turning back. You can expect other Rukaan competing against you to employ similar tactics in this free-for-all. The winner is the Rukaan who makes it to the end first. Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: Labyrinth of trenches dug into the ice. Night.

Course Clearing (strength bonus) 

The Jotunn have created an obstacle course of stone and logs for the Rukaan to show off their talents and see who can navigate it the fastest. The catch? Rukaan start the course in delayed intervals, and are encouraged to shove additional obstacles in the path of the following competitors as they go. Whoever is unlucky enough to go last will be facing the most difficult course, but whoever takes time to sabotage their competitors may lose time they could have used to complete the course faster. Pillars of ice mark the edges of the course. Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: Obstacle course of stone and logs with ice pillars to mark the edges of the course. Twilight or night.

Wall Scaling  (stamina bonus) 

The frost giants have created a huge rough wall of ice and stone around their settlement, far taller than any building in Merilian City. The winner is the Rukaan who can scale it the fastest- you can expect this to take most of the night. Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: Massive, rough-hewn wall of ice and stone. Night.

Troll Wrestling (defense bonus) 

The frost giants share their lands with their more reclusive relatives, the trolls. Trolls aren’t necessarily warlike in nature, but they are very strong and do enjoy a good wrestling match. In these bouts, a troll stands in the middle of a stone circle. The Rukaan’s aim is to force the troll out of the circle, while the troll’s aim is to knock the Rukaan to the ground. If the Rukaan wins against their troll, they can go on to challenge a larger troll. The winner is whichever Rukaan can successfully force the biggest troll out of the circle. Troll must be pictured fullbody or significantly included in the story. The stone circle may be located anywhere in Jotunheim and the bouts take place at twilight and night.  One entrant per submission.

Setting:  Outdoor stone circle located anywhere in Jotunheim. Twilight or night.

Frozen Cipher (intelligence bonus) 

The Jotunn have etched a message in an ancient giants’ code into a pillar of ice for each competing Rukaan. Behind the ice sits a fire, which is slowly melting the pillar and obscuring the symbols. The coded message describes an action that should be performed by the reader. The winner is the Rukaan who successfully decodes their message and performs the action fastest.  One entrant per submission.

Setting: Cave or alcove made of stone and ice. Night.

  • Favored - +5 to a wild Rukaan’s group feat entry score if a sympathetic god or spirit is significantly featured in the art or story. Art: Must be fullbody. Lit: Must have additional 400 words over required wordcount. 

• Class Experience: For each time the Rukaan has previously entered the same class within the same feat setting/theme and not won 1st place, they will get a +2 bonus in following months that they enter. This will cap at 5 entries (+10 total bonus) and will refresh with each new setting/theme. To claim, link the previous non-winning class results in the bonus field of the entering Rukaan's form. Junior classes count towards experience. Fun classes do not count towards experience.

• Loki’s Meddling (non-hereditary trait)- Chance to receive a Trickster’s Token in monthly show/feat classes (including Fun and Junior classes) when the Rukaan or their handler is depicted cheating, regardless of placement. They will not lose ‘Class Depiction’ points in their score for being depicted cheating. 

In addition to the monthly feat classes, there are two "practice classes" to allow beginning Rukaan to compete on a level playing field. These are also held monthly, but work a bit differently from the monthly classes.

The Junior Class is a “junior” version of one of the main stat classes being held that month with the same class description and stat but limited to Rukaan with 5 points or fewer in the class stat. These will rotate through the various classes over the course of the theme, one per month. Rukaan do not have to be depicted as young to enter this class; junior refers to less experience and not less age. 

A Fun Class is a seperate class following the same setting and theme as the monthly feat classes. This will be a stat-less class.

Please include this information block for each Rukaan to be rolled.

Entries should be submitted to the Feats gallery folder.
