[Bards] Sir Bela of Eastmarch

[Beth Wolff]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I was unaware that Poul Anderson was a SCAdian, but I too loved his writing.
It is that a great light has passed out of this world. All our pryers and love
to his family and know that we will remember him as only bards can...let him
be remembered  by wordfame. Let him be praised in story and song. Vivat!(image)



Elanor O'Ruark (most unworthy bard)


When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried
before.

>Now, my words. He was a wonderful author, and many of his novels I read in
>my youth. They were part of what set me on the path in search of honor and
>chivalry, and striving to be exceptional without losing one's humanity. It
>was only after I had been in the SCA a few years that I heard Poul was in it
>too. This may explain why the SCA was such a good fit for me, as he had
>already exposed me to some of the concepts. I hope to only leave one

>achieve even that much.

>But I am very curious, and per chance someone here knows this. Was "The
