For every week that the contest runs, Ringwraith will set the good people of Horse Phenomena tasks. These challenges are designed to test wit and strength, for only the most worthy shall reach Minas Morgul. Each task is found at a different location in Middle Earth - completion of tasks in chronological order will lead players on a journey that starts in Hobbiton and takes them through the lands of Middle Earth to finally end up in Ringwraith's lair of Minas Morgul. These tasks may be completed as one-offs, but only those who complete all tasks shall be entered into a grand prize draw upon reaching Minas Morgul, where the finest warrior will be in for a chance to win both a 1 month upgrade courtesy of City of Angels*, and a 'Bronze Tier' horse or dog graphic from Utakata.
 
*All prizes offered by City of Angels are done so in her capacity as a player of Horse Phenomena and not as an Event Coordinator  or Staff member.

WEEK 8 - The Finale!

After many weeks of travelling and battling all the dangers of the wilderness, you have reached Minas Morgul! Only one task remains to you - complete this, and you shall join Ringwraith amongst the champions of Mordor! This final challenge comes in the form of a PUZZLE! I realise that we are all a little puzzled-out at this point, and in recognition of this fact I promise weary travellers that this particular task is nowhere near as horrendous as the Week 1 challenge. As per usual puzzle rules, please post a screenshot which includes both your timestamp AND the number of pieces in order to win 1million HPD. For those of you who have followed the journey from its very beginning, this is the final task to complete which will earn you your place in the prize draw!

BONUS TASK!

Wish to be entered into the prize draw, but missed your opportunity of entering one of the first two weeks? Completion of this bonus task will make up for one missed week of activities (i.e. if you completed hobbiton but not bree, this activity will solve your problem!), enabling you to continue the road to Minas Morgul and be in for a chance to win the final prize!

All you need to is draw your own Ringwraith! You can be as creative as you wish, this is not a contest of skill - MS Word, Photoshop, even good ole' pencil and paper will do to bring your creation to life! Simply post an image of your Ringwraith here to make up for a missed challenge.
