[Bards] Borg Artisans

[pubear]

Thanks, though I'm not sure which investiture you're talking about.  To be
honest, I don't even know whether I'll still be in ansteorra in a month.  I
work for a company that just filed chapter 11 and my only nibble so far on
my job hunt is oddly enough, from trimaris.    If I can stay, I will,
especially since I was born in bjornsborg, but mundania has taken so many
people places they never expected.

I appreciate the overachievers comment, though since I just got my AoA, I
don't know how much help I could be.  I just like doing things.  The only
advice I can give is when in doubt, do what you think is right.  Somehow it
always seems to work out.  Even if it looks like it will hurt your chances
at something, people do pay attention to things like that, and you'll
appreciate the class of people you meet a great deal better.

Oh and since I may end up leaving the kingdom.  Here's the song I wrote for
ansteorra.  Hopefully someone will like it enough to keep singing it.  Of
course I may get lucky and work will either pull it out, I won't get the job
in Florida, or I will at least get a job in ansteorra.   Alas, who knows...

The Shield Wall of Ansteorra
By Bersi Ormstunga called Pubear
AKA David Seguin

Gather up,
All you love,
Quickly rush it to the hall,
The hand of god is on us and it's raised against us all,

The list field's,
Been shattered,
And the Hammer has come down,
The storm god has a grievance and his army's come to town,

So we fled,
To the hall,
>From the wailing voice of hell,
Warning of the winds that would leave no tale to tell,

Chorus:  But the wind of the gods was seen fleeing to the north,
    From the shield wall of Ansteorra,
    All you kings of the world you will learn to taste the fear,
    Of the Shield wall of Ansteorra,

In the hall,
The queen,
The king in all his might,
Kayleigh and Alaric were calling for a fight,

"You heavy,
 You archers,
 Swashbucklers fighting light,
 If the storm god wants a beating we'll give him hell tonight,"

"So gather,
 Your armor,
 And the weapons that you wield,
 Tonight the Ansteorran army takes the field,

Chorus:  The wind of the gods was seen fleeing to the north,
    From the shield wall of Ansteorra,
    All you kings of the world you will learn to taste the fear,
    Of the Shield wall of Ansteorra,

The heavy,
The archers,
Light fighters on the right,
The King is in the center, the queen is on the right,

The fighting,
Was valiant,
Our shield wall held the line,
And the minions of the Storm god were ground beneath their stride,

The storm god,
His army,
Was seen fleeing to the sky,
As the Ansteorran shield wall cheered the coming light,

Chorus:  The wind of the gods was seen fleeing to the north,
    From the shield wall of Ansteorra,
    All you kings of the world you will learn to taste the fear,
    Of the Shield wall of Ansteorra,

The morning,
The sunshine,
Our navy saved the day,
The Longship crew was valiant and fed our starving state,

The bardic,
That evening
It showed to me the might,
The Elfsea Bardic Shield wall cast a spell that night,

So Remember,
My story,
When your hopes for life are small,
The Ansteorran shield wall will come to save us all,


Chorus:  The wind of the gods was seen fleeing to the north,
    From the shield wall of Ansteorra,
    All you kings of the world you will learn to taste the fear,
    Of the Shield wall of Ansteorra,
