With the new Hamlet update creeping up upon us in a petty pace from day to day, it seems like all of Erinn is in a most Shakespearean mood lately. This is especially true for Morrighan. She’s even gone so far as to begin working on her own version of Hamlet’s famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy. Unfortunately being the Goddess of War and Vengeance means creative writing isn’t really part of her portfolio. Therefore she’s calling on all Mabinogians to help her indulge her Shakespearean mood.
Help Morrighan bring her revised Hamlet soliloquy to life and you could score a cool NX 10,000! Simply rewrite Hamlet’s famous speech about any topic that might be near and dear to Morrighan’s heart. It can be funny, serious, in character, or a parody of Morrighan’s personality.
