For those of you who either did not get to participate in the contest, or would just like to review the dialogues, here they are:


Elias Here ye, all Homins! An old troubadour has been called to recite a funeral song
Elias He's on his way and will be here soon
Elias ...
Elias The Old troubadour is coming... His recital will shortly begin
Elias ...
Elias Listen ye to the Funeral song
Elias The troubadour's riddle will await the end of his song
Elias ...

The Old troubadour Here ye, all Homins! Every year, the memory of certain Homin is honored in a great city
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour On this occasion, women sing a litany to make it known to everyone the Homin's age when he died:
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour This brave Homin's destiny was cut short
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour His harsh childhood was overshadowed by family betrayal and made up a quarter of his life
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour Half of his life was then dedicated to the art of war and strategy
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour Of the eight parts of his life, another of these then passed before he married a brave woman
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour Three years after they married, there was born to them a child
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour Our Homin lived one more year and then passed away
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour It was only two years after his death that his body could receive the ritual honors
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour If you were to be told that this Homin was born in 2449, would you know who it was?
The Old troubadour ...
The Old troubadour The Homin's age is equal to the sum of the different parts of his life: his childhood represents a quarter, his adolescence a half and his adult life an eighth. Then we need to add three more years plus one, until his death
The Old troubadour If we calculate then, the age of our Homin is as follows: age= age/4+age/2+age/8+3+1
The Old troubadour According to this calculation the Homin died at the age of 32. Knowing that he was born in 2449, his death occurred therefore in 2481. The chronologies of the four civilizations of the Lore tell of only one Homin to have died on this date: from among the Fyros - Cerakos II
The Old troubadour The answer was Cerakos II. Cerako's son is the Fyros chief Dexton
The Old troubadour For the cleverer among you, the reference to a delayed burial would also allow you to arrive at the right answer
The Old troubadour Cerakos II died at the age of 32 in the Prime Roots while fighting against one of the first waves of Kitins, at the beginning of the Great Swarming. His body was embalmed in 2481 without receiving the customary sacraments afforded to Fyros Emperors, as it was impossible to light a fire at that time in the Prime Roots without sparking off a new catastrophe. It was not until two years later that a funeral pyre could be built to cremate the embalmed body of Emperor Cerakos II. The first stones of the city of Pyr were laid on this precise spot and the pyre itself became the great door of the City. The Emperor's cremation is commemorated every year under the moon of the winter solstice
The Old troubadour The child that he fathered with his wife Lydia is the current emperor, Fyros Dexton

Nevrax has informed us that, due to a technical problem during last Wednesday's contest, we are missing some of the winners. We will be giving out additional prizes for last Friday's contest instead.
