Last Friday,
The Elder Scrolls Online Legendary Limerick Contest concluded. Thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you had as much fun creating
Elder Scrolls-inspired limericks as we had reading them. Over the past week, we compiled the hundreds of amazing entries we received and put them through several rounds of internal voting before we ended up with a list of finalists, and eventually our winners and runner-up. Fun fact: Over 70 of the
Elder Scrolls Online devs personally read and voted on the finalist entries.
We’re proud to present to you the Legendary Limerick Contest winners and runner-up, and their entries. Enjoy!
Legendary Limerick Contest Winners There once was an elf from the Isles
Whose elf friends all warned him for miles
Mannimarco they said
Do not play with the dead
No cheer comes from skeleton smiles
- By Brian Kellner in Colorado, USA
We praise the Lady Nocturnal
Who guides us from fires infernal
With the night she invokes
In the darkness we cloak
So that shadow may hide us eternal
- By Austen Fisher in Oregon, USA
Two Khajiit snuck across town
After stealing a valuable crown
When they found they were lost
The thief said to his boss:
"You're holding the map upside-down!"
- By Michael Droz in Nevada, USA
Legendary Limerick Contest Runner-UpA hero sat over a flagon
'til he learned he'd the soul of a dragon
Thus he traveled the land
Daedric sword in his hand
Dealing justice yet stealing from wagons
- By Patrick Byrne in Massachusetts, USA
