I've modified the post somewhat. I'm posting it here for you to look at. However, no matter what... It will be posted the General Discussion board (where all other contests have been posted) by 5:00 PM EST today. If you have any comments or changes you would like to see prior to that posting, please let me know. Thanks.

Hail and Well Met, EN Worlders! The EN World City Project would like you to join us in the creation of Mor’s End. More specifically, we need your interesting NPCs to people the bustling streets of Mor’s End.
Mor's End is a city-state on the edge of civilization. The city serves as a caravan hub. As such, it has become a melting pot of diverse cultures, races and ideas. Mor’s End has a wealth of natural resources. From the sapphires that are found in the Mor River to the silk produced from the tendrils of the Silk Fish of Lake Enoria.
Being out on the edge of civilization presents Mor’s End with unique challenges. The lands to the south of the city are filled with danger. Several humanoid raids have come from there… especially the swamps just south of the city.
The city's population is 10,200. The racial makeup of the city is... 40% human, 20% dwarf, 13% gnome, 8% humanoid, 6% halfling, 6% elf, 4% half-orc, 2% monstrous, 1% half-elf.
In keeping with the Iron DM, Iron NPC, and Ceramic DM traditions of the EN World Messageboards we will be holding a series of contests to develop the inhabitants of Mor’s End.
Contest 1 = CR 0 - 2
Contest 2 = CR 3 - 4
Contest 3 = CR 5 - 6
Contest 4 = CR 7 - 8
Contest 5 = CR 9+
Contest 6 = Monstrous
etc.
This is the first of that series. Here are the ground rules for this contest.
CR: 0 – 2
Race: Must be from PHB
Ingredients: Four (4) ingredients will be provided per round. At least one ingredient will be a common phrase.
Example:
Key Phrase: “Beggars can’t be choosers”
Other Ingredients: a scarlet feather, a circle of trees, “Bury the hatchet”
Time Limit: 48 hours
The ingredients should be used in the background of the NPC. The NPC should provide at least one plot hook for player characters to explore. If your NPC background/plot hook requires it... please provide statblocks for all major NPCs with which player characters may need to interact.
Please use d20 Standard statblocks: http://www.d20statblock.org/standard/examples.html
Here's a useful statblock tool: http://mwtools.thyle.net/sb_gen.html
If you would like to see other NPC Submissions received during our open call check out these threads...

Crafts & Trade Submissions
If you are interested in participating in the contest, please post to this thread. Once we have enough contestants we will start the contest.
Regards,
The EN World City Project Team

Yes. Actually more of the World Creations groups should try to get onto the frontpage as well. I think we have to keep stirring up interest and not to lose momentum, as well as constantly inject new blood. So far, things are going far better than I expected; still lots of work to be done though.

First Post
The idea for a new thread just popped up over in the Guard thread, I thought I'd throw it over here to decide if you want a new thread or to keep this going over in the Guard thread. Here I'll just paste the post(s).

Yea I really don't want to deal with Monsters, I was just sort of wanting to get the races mapped out. That would also be a thread that could include plot hooks for tombs and dungeons and adventuring hooks.
I'd still like to know about evil races here as they would affect the make up of the defending forces (races who would gather as a organized force and try to raid the town), NPC's should head for the NPC thread, but we really don't have a thread for a Dragon or a Lich or a treasure filled tomb or those random encounter tables for wandering monsters.

Oops... guess I should have checked this thread first. I already posted a not to that effect on the Contest thread.
As for the Enemy Submissions Thread... I think that's a great idea... currently we have the orcs, the goblins, the yakmen, the thing that lurks below... This thread could also house random encounter tables...
