Wake up, wake up! Round Zero is upon us!

Iron DM 2020

This is the Round Zero thread, where all those who wish to partake in this year's competition can show what they have, and see if they can stand up to their fierce competitors and last year's victor, Unko Talok! Come, refine each other so that the best may face off, and the greatest be crowned Iron DM of 2020!

The thread will be open for 13 days (plus about 1.5 hours) from the time this is posted (exact deadline see here). Make sure you get your entry in quickly! Once you have posted, that is it: no edits, no second posts. Breaking these most simple of rules could lead to a very early (and very embarrassing) departure from the stadium.

Round Zero RulesCreate and describe an interesting organization and/or their leader for an adventure. Do not include links outside; the organization/leader should exist totally within the post itself. The organization/leader should be compelling enough to be a focal point in an adventure - possibly with hooks or history - and can be fantasy, sci-fi, or whatever other setting you like!

You have a hard maximum of 500 words for your description. Do not break it. This limit includes all text within the body of your post, so be careful! Do not waste words on mechanics - the focus for this Round Zero challenge is to create an interesting story or description behind the organization/leader you provide.

You get one entry; second posts by anyone will result in disqualification.

Do not edit your entry once posted. Secreting to me is sufficientSecreting and If your spoiler-button includes an "about", where you e.g. place the item's name, it is required that the spoiler-button be within the secretspoiler-buttoning your entry is not only highly recommended, but required!

The best write-ups will move through to the actual competition.
