[EVENT]🔮 Over, Under, and Through
Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by spockirkcoy🔮Over, Under, and through🔮
Welcome to the May - June 2024 Over, Under, and Through Portals Event!
![](https://skire.club/files/EventAssets/Portals_Banner.png)
Portals are commonplace around Skire, used for countless reasons by countless beings around the continent. One may use them for travel, to leave their home and traverse quickly across the landscape to another city, to visit friends, pick up supplies, or simply explore. Portals of countless shapes and sizes are also key for continental commerce, driving goods of countless types through specialized portals that bring them where they need to be.
Portals can often fall into disrepair. Their space magic is upheld by infused caster speak, and like all machinery, they wear down over time. Wires come loose, conduits fall apart, and molding metal rusts, meaning Skire is littered with portals that have long-forgotten uses. Many seek to repair these portals simply out of curiosity to see where they go. Some are even employed for their upkeep.
A portal may be built by a single person, or used by a community, company, hive, or other group. Many build their homes around these landmarks for ease of movement across Skire.
Travel! There are many interesting places to explore around Skire... Where will you go?
Prompts do not need to be completed in order.
🔮Must be completed once within the event period in order to claim the completion badge.
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character (Yours, someone else's, or an NPC) travelling through a portal.

FAQ
Q: Can we ask for an extension on the prompt?
A: No, but if submissions require revisions you may be informed of a grace period to resubmit.
Q: If I win, can I give my prize away?
A: For fairness, if you win the prize, you may not gift the prize away. You may return your prize to the admin to re-roll the raffle. Items can be traded, but you should not enter solely to grant the item to someone else.
Q: Can I enter to try and help someone else win?
A: No, it is not fair for multiple people to enter on behalf of one person. You will not be able to surrender your prize to a specific person.
Q: When will the event end specifically?
A: This prompt's end date is displayed on the prompt itself! Please refer to this section and the website's clock for this time!
Q: When will prizes be raffled off?
A: Anywhere from the next day to a few days after the event ends. Rolls are automatic onsite but we will still be announcing them in the Discord!
Q: My entry was denied because it didn’t meet the requirements. Can I fix it and resubmit to try and enter?
A: Yes, as long as this is done so before the event ends. We will not count anything submitted after the event has ended, but a short grace period may be given.
Q: Are admin allowed to enter the event and win prizes?
A: Yes, admins are allowed to enter events! However if an admin is rolled for winning a prize, they don’t occupy a member’s chance to win! Another roll will be done so that a member can still win a prize.
Q: I became a non-owner/owner over the course of the event! Can I change my entries?
A: Yes, please contact a mod! If you become an owner over the event, we ask that you inform us that you are no longer a non-owner out of fairness! If you become a non-owner, please inform us as well as we may grant non-owner tickets. If we notice this system is being used to fodder non-owner MYO slots, we will no longer grant ticket changes from owner to non-owner for the event period, but you may be eligible again if you are still a non-owner during the next event.
