Original Works from the Bardic Tournament at Baronial Champs In addition to the competitors Bardic entry, there was a mandatory piece that show cased the Rhydderich Hael, or a person or group with in the Hael. These are three of the entries from Logan, Faunna and our New Bardic Champion Daedelus. Master Connors “Silver Dragon” story has graced the pages of the Ice Dragon in the past and will be reprinted another time. Written by Logan You’re from the Hael I hear it again & my mind goes back to a differnt time…. 20 or 30 Fencers take to the green, A prettier site I’ve never seen Don Ivan was there so quick and so spry Disappearing and reappearing Was this Hael fencing guy Thinking back further, Caitlin was there A woman who fought with power and flair When I started, the now Don Fergus did teach How to get inside of an opponents reach Practice and safety he always did teach And those moves up close and personal That give you such grief, I leaned those At the Master Don Berhends feet Now I fight shoulder to shoulder With Alexander whose length of blade Makes him a lot boulder And Meade Master Robert LeTourdi Always ready for a fight or a party is he Yes I’m from the Hael, In 5 years where will we be I don’t know, but I can’t wait and see Yes I’m from the Hael with big boots to fill. But now it’s back to the list With friends um-opponents to kill Written by Daedelus Pardon this poem but i wrote it last minute about the Rhydderych Hael and the people within it. What makes us great? I stand here and wonder (snap) its our fighters, fencers, and pirates that plunder Or is it our throwers and archers the best in the landor craftsmen and scribes with talented hand What else could it be? our great Baron Caleb? ruler of these lands, and bacon loving cherub The denizens of Aethelmaerc have nothing to fearwith us guarding the only passage from Eldeormere And look at this room and all the tin hats you all know the saying about swinging tin hats (snap again) Its no one group its all of us togethera bird cannot fly with just one feather So my friends eat drink and have fun for the Rhydderyh Hael is second to none 13
Works from the Bardic Tournament at Baronial Champs Continued From, Fauna Imagine yourself in a dark, nasty, dank, muggy forest. Large creatures you don’t have names for yet are crawling everyware, some as large as your hands. We see Our Valent Baron Caleb, trudging through the muck and the nastyness. He sees a light, and thinks, "Where there is light, there is bacon! I should go and see if they would give me a room and a meal for the night." So Caleb makes his way to the castle, and pounds on the great wooden door. 2 beautiful and scantlily clad women open the one great wooden door. They look at him, look at each other, and back to him, and welcome him in with open arms. They say "Caleb, we have heard of your travels, please come in and sit with the Sultan." Caleb agrees, and gets changed into some nicer, not mud covered clothing. Caleb is taken to the feast hall, where smells that will delight anyones sences fill the room. Jasmine rice, slow cooked meats, and fruits we have never heard of are seen from the windows in the back of the hall. Caleb is taken to where the Sultan is sitting, and the Sultan welcomes him with open arms. "Caleb!!! its so good to see you my friend, please come in and sit!!! We were just about to sit down to a feast." Caleb agrees, and the first course comes out. It's a salad with delicious greens, fresh vegetables, and other yummie things. Caleb looks around, and things, hmm, the bacon must be being saved for something else. The Sultan watches caleb looking, and says, "This is fresh from my garden, what do you think?" Caleb takes a moment, waits, and says, "well, it was certinally delicious, but it could have been better with bacon." the Sultan laughs, and brushes the comment off. The next course is brought out, its a delicious creamy cold soup, with succlent bits of chicken and delicious flavorful leeks. Caleb eats whats he is given, and jokingly says, "well, that was the best soup ive ever had, but it could have been better with bacon." The sultan laughs, but gives a stern look to the scantilally clad woman serving him, and makes a motion. The main course is brought out. Lobsters! Peacocks! Boars with apples in there mouths, and cherries for eyes!!! Everything is cooked to perfection, is juicy, and no expence has been spared in making the finishing touches. Caleb as never seen a beast this size before! Everyone eats, and they pick the animals clean. The Sultan looks towards caleb, and Jokingly says, I bet that couldnt have been better with bacon!!! Caleb shakes his head and says, "I tend to disagree, friend" By this time, the Sultan is getting annoyed at the disrespect from his long time friend. the next course is brought out, Bakalava, fruits from far reaches of the world, sweet meads, and a strange thing called "chocolate" The sultan says, I know I know, this could be better with bacon. Caleb laughs, and says, yes, your right. The Sultan claps his hands, and a large platter of poutine is brought out, covered in pounds and pounds of bacon. Caleb stares in amazement, bows and says, "this is all ill need for tonight." The moral of the story? Everything is better with bacon. 14
