Hello Daggers!
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a biweekly challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short character prompt and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
This topic is brought to you by the winner of CHOW #2, Rafa Zanchetin (http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-5446.html )
"M'lord, the King sent a crow this morning...he gathers us for war," the servant reported breathlessly. Seated at the center of the banquet table, the head of his House took a long sip from his goblet in deep thought, then with a smile roared, "Assemble the men, and raise the banner! We leave at dawn's first light."
Your task: Design the Lord of a House (in the same vein as Game of Thrones) and (OPTIONAL) design that House's Crest
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, October 19 @10pm GMT
