There are a lot of ways to write a Haiku, and since we at Dungeon Overlord™ aren't exactly conventionalists, feel free to get creative.
However, the most well known way, and a safe bet, is to use three lines, of 5-7-5 syllables.
Still confused? The internet is your friend, maybe your only one.

- "Overlord Name" refers to the name you use in-game, please make sure you type this correctly, it will be used, along with your email address, to identify you in-game.
- All submissions will be reviewed impartially. Winners are chosen at the sole discretion of Night Owl Games®
