Baronial Bardic Champion Competition, by Lady Vani The Winter Holidays are a time of giving, such is known to all. But those who are expectant to receive often find their minds clouded to the true purpose of these celebrations. As Bards are excellent teachers and reminders of proper action, the Baronial Bardic Champion"s Challenge is thus: Two pieces in one or more Bardic Arts of your choice - The first to tell of Greed, The second of Giving. Non-verbal entries should be accompanied by an explanation of how they fit this theme. All entries should be free from truly mundane references, but I am certainly not one able to condemn period...ish performance. Please remember that your judges are Their Excellencies Elphin and Delia, not myself. Note: If you desire to perform to this theme but not to compete, please tell me beforehand and I will discuss with Their Excellencies how They wish to proceed.
