The Story Contest Returns!

Hey Dark Lords – old-timers and newcomers!

The long-awaited Dark Lord release took place yesterday, and we’re here now to announce a community contest! The story writing competition is an ancient tradition of this community, and it's time to bring it back! To be a successful Dark Lord, one needs to be creative, so show off your best works and etch your name into the history of our game!

How to join:

• Settle into your throne, delve into the depths of your imagination, and bring your ideas to life. Before you begin, ensure you know the competition's rules and guidelines below.

• Submit your masterpieces via our very cool and handy in-game Community Stories mode editor no later than September 1st.

• Don’t forget to add [Contest] to the title of your story (you can change it after the contest ends).

• Once submitted, take pride in your work, read other creators’ stories, and wait for September 6th, the day that we announce the results!

Prizes galore

Your story can span any genre—dramatic, comedic, mystical, or even meme-inspired. The authors of the best tales will be rewarded handsomely:

1st Place: $1000
2nd Place: $500
3rd Place: $250

Note: the prizes are distributed via Amazon or Steam gift cards (read the contest’s Terms and Conditions for more details).
