First Metamor Twitter Challenge

In combination with the other thread in which I mentioned setting up a Twitter feed I thought of this.
Consider this the first un-official writing contest posted on this forum.
The challenge is as follows:

Describe the MK Universe accurately and as easy to understand as possible in for the average interested person in 140 characters or less.

This contest will run till February 29th. One entry per member allowed though you may edit till the deadline hits.
The prize…
If and I do mean if MK gets a twitter account the winning entry will be the first thing tweeted.

Have fun and stay awesome.

Where do you get 144? Twitter shows me 140 characters available.

How about this then?

Metamor Keep. Cursed to transgender, infancy and/or animal forms - and still won… TWICE! Read about it, 10+ years worth of stories.

132

My mistake, I wrote this late in the evening and I didn't check the twitter character limit so I guessed. Fixed now.

Good one.

And so March arrives, where does the time go.
With that this contest comes to a close. I thank all those of you participated. The ranking is as follows:

3rd: MishaFox
2nd: Digitalpotato
1st: AmigaDragon

As there was no real opposition to the creation of a twitter account I took the liberty to do so. I've already asked Virmir to integrate it into the site and he will as soon as he has time.
For those wishing to follow or be followed the account name is @MetamorKeepWG
There a little blue bird morph called Tommy Chatter will keep us appraised of stuff in 140 words or less.

Congratulations AmigaDragon your entry will be posted.

How about this?
Metamor Keep. Great heroism and drama. Brave people fight a great curse and a terrible enemy. All are welcome to join the fun Read Write

It's ok. Not as strong as Amiga's. If you leave off "Metamor Keep" at the start it could describe almost every fantasy universe currently in existence. Thanks for competing.

For the hell of it, might be a bit more humorous.

The valley of Metamor Keep. Where women sound the march. Where child sorcerers live. Where farmers plow their own field. All this and more.

Try making that "Farmers pull their own plows." Plowing the field applies to both the creature pulling and the creature guiding, so it makes it a bit clearer.

Clever! Describes the three curses extremely well. However, LurkingWolf is right: it does apply to both the creature guiding and pulling the plough.

And this is where American English is annoying: it is meant to be PLOUGH, not PLOW. I'm an Aussie, Aussies use good old Traditional English. Get the spelling write! :P

If you think your lost, you probably are.

Problem is it's kind of running low on letters anyways. *shrugs* Thanks for the correction on pulling their own plows, it was something on here in 2010 that I forgot.

Thanks for participating.

Not bad. Could maybe made a bit snappier if you pull the three small sentences together to form a larger sentence. The word 'where' would become unnecessary and you'd gain ten characters to improvise with.
You'd even have room to spell plough correctly. ;)
