Puzzler's Space

Puzzle 1: Songqi wears no shoes, for ages of veneration have worn them from their feet.

Puzzle 2: The battle occurred around a great banquet. The twelve members in question had eaten so much beforehand that they fell unconscious and were mistaken for dead by the others, who fought until none remained.

Puzzle 3: The world has always been cognizant of hate, for as with all things, hate emerged from the world. The hate of mangrove trees is merely directed towards more appropriate things, such as drought, boats, and particularly irritating mangrove crabs.

Staying clear of the extra credit for now. You know what they say! Cs get degrees!
