Got a sharp eye for a well-honed blade? Love the stories told about ancient armor? Well here's your chance to share your passion with Elanthia!

Here are the requirements:
1. Provide a container meant for the viewing of either weapons or armor. This may be a container that hangs on a wall or sits on the floor, or nearly anything else, with the caveat that it must be something that it is possible to look into. Provide a 15/15/15 description of this container at minimum, though the container MAY contain a Long description (maximum of 58 characters total if a Long is entered.)
2. Provide either a weapon or piece of armor to be displayed in the item listed in 1 above. This must be a type of weapon or armor that already exists in Elanthia. Provide a 15/15/15 description of the item at minimum, though this item MAY contain a Long description (same guidelines as listed in 1 above.)
3. Provide a second item following the same guidelines as listed in 2 above.
4. Provide a SHOW description for the item listed in 2 above. Minimum of 50 characters and maximum of 350 characters.
5. Provide a SHOW description for the item listed in 3 above. Minimum of 50 characters and maximum of 350 characters.
6. Provide some sort of plaque, scroll, inscription, or some other in-character means to be either displayed alongside the items contained in 2 and 3 above, or inscribed on the item described in 1 above. Provide a 15/15/15 ONLY of this item, along with a note as to how it is attached to the previous items.
7. Provide the text displayed on the item listed in 6 above. This can be in Common, or in an already existing language that can be spoken by players. (If no language is specified, then Common is assumed.) The contents of the text should pertain to the items outlined in 2 and 3 above in some way, and must conform to POLICY.

Example of a submission:

1. A wide mahogany cabinet with gold-plated hinges
2. A gleaming vultite dagger with a bloodstained leather hilt
3. Some adamantine full plate
4. The blade of this dagger has been polished until it gleams, drawing a sharp counterpoint to the hilt, which is heavily stained.
5. This set of armor has seen better days. It's covered in dents and gouges, and in a few places along one shoulder a few rivets have gone missing.
6. A small brass plate (on the cabinet).
7. The dagger and armor worn by the bandit who took the life of my son. May the Gods forgive me.

Entries that do not conform to the above requirements will not be considered eligible.
