I feel you went to big with this scope. I feel this could be a whole chapter if not a book. You only have one page and the first third of the story was world building that didn't have any effect on the story so it felt a little wasted. Because of that I feel you have any time to flesh out any of the characters. Also I feel the ending was rushed and then just abruptly ended. This huge battle starts then just ends with no satisfying conclusion. Your writing skills are there, but I was narrow down the story next time. I did the same thing last Jam. 

Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right about the tight real estate of 1000 words. There's no doubt my story is quite pulpy; I wanted to get some epic fantasy in there hence the series of fast moving scenes and variety of setting. The ending is absolutely abrupt and intentionally ambiguous. I think 1000 words is far too little space to have your character sitting around navel gazing, especially when there's such a tight limit to how well the reader can really get to know the characters.
