[MR] 12th Night Royal Bard Competition

[Claire V. Basney]

Esteemed gentles in and of the tavern...

The more messages that come in with regard to the upcoming 12th Night
festivities, the more light my heart--especially the last one which
mentioned a competition for a new royal bard.  The thing that is passing
strange is that, though I have looked and listened long for information as
regards this competition, this is the first I have heard about it.  If
there is a voice in this fair place, indeed in the realm, that can give me
more information--what is expected, what the structure will be, etc.--I
would be most grateful...  I apologize if I have somehow simply overlooked
all announcements to this effect, but please do not scorn my
ignorance--remedy it!

Many thanks.
In service to the Dream,
Lady Eleanor Percy
