Cameesa - The Blog

The contest has come to a close.  The Oracle will be accepting pictures until December 10th at midnight.

Please email your pictures to: kamil[at]cameesa[dot]com and I will forward them to the Oracle.  The Oracle will then announce “the chosen one” for each of their region.

Any beard-cheaters that are found will be severely punished, so please be very cautious with your submissions.

 he dust had finally settled on the field, a mixture of sweat and dirt caked his armor.  The dark black of blood stood out in bold relief upon his graying beard.  The man was not tall but he always dominated a room, he was not particularly handsome but to look in his eyes one knew he was not lacking in confidence, he had neither an expensive overcoat nor an abode in which he could welcome the heads of state, but one knew he was a Sovereign.The man who wondered into the wasteland so long ago observed his well used hands, thick with callous and strong from years of the iron. 

The campaign had gone well and victories were in abundance, but a uneasiness soon settled upon him.  It was getting more difficult to find new men to campaign with him.  Each battle was always a great victory and he had long ago achieved dominion over his enemies, but new men were not in abundance.

But the man simple shrugged and picked up.  He would continue his battle in the years ahead until there were no more men to accompany him.

nd after each golden age there is a dark age, just as the wheel has told time and again.  It is a time when there are few bearded men to gaze at on each street, no matter the cold.  It is a time of little movement.  It is a time of silence.  It is a time of mis-recollection.  The question is no longer “to grow ones beard or not” but simply “am I a man or not?”
