It's been quite a long time since your knight was the person they entered this competition as. It's been a long time since they set out for Lemaria, in hopes of finding their place among the royal guard as an honored and decorated knight. Whatever the reason, whatever the choices they made that led them to the castle, that is all behind them now. You've seen traitors and spies, good people accused and friends come and go. You've completed the Trials of Trust, Loyalty, and Mercy. You've felt the Grief of a kingdom, and faced the Decision of a lifetime. And four of you have been put to the ultimate test and proven what it really means to have a Knight's Valor.

But now, night has fallen one last time, and your story in the castle is over.

WILD CARD

This spot goes to an amazing writer we were sad to see not make it into the finale. We've admired her spirit and her particular fondness for a certain someone throughout the entire games. A favorite of Sir Adeline and beloved by the entire kingdom. Voted on by you, this award goes unanimously to:

Lemaria Female: Renauda "Ren" Lancaster
(Ryder27)

And now, for the finalists.

IN FOURTH PLACE

With 17 Points

Raleith Female: Aloïsa Beaumarchais
(WhovianHorseLover)

There is so much we could say for Aloïsa. We have admired her from the beginning. Everything from her spark to her inability to give up on the ones she loves made her that much closer to a real human being. That, combined with a unique format of entry that somehow managed to balance action with storytelling is an amazing work of art in itself. We loved the constant struggle with Jo, and showing her rejection of Alosia was enough to rip out our hearts. She is an amazingly strong character and written in a style that is so very difficult to pull off. We're proud to see her plow through the competition and come so far.
