<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I would hope that you would include this
invitation poem in the second addition of The Voices of the Star. I found it
delightful and hope to use it to open bardic circles I might host or advertise
myself! I feel it is inspired and more important, *inspiring*!!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=center>Do you seek to be a bard?<BR>To lift your voice in
song?<BR>To recite the tales and poetry<BR>Of a history proud and
long?<BR><BR>And when the battle's over,<BR>And a victor has been found,<BR>Do
you lift your voice to heroes<BR>Who lived or died, but held their
ground?<BR><BR>Will you recount the deeds of chivalry,<BR>And chide the lack
of same?<BR>Lifting mortal men to glory,<BR>Or bow their heads in
shame?<BR><BR>Can you withstand the test of pride,<BR>To be just and never
vain?<BR>Knowing when to praise or reprimand,<BR>And when to temper with
restrain?<BR><BR>Do you seek the dying ember<BR>Of a disenchanted
soul?<BR>Then fan the flame within it,<BR>That he rise to reach his
goal?<BR><BR>Do you seek to inspire greatness,<BR>In those who's way has been
hard?<BR>To make us more than we seem to be?<BR>Then come and be a bard!

<DIV align=center>Do you have what it takes to be a Fire Walker?</DIV>
<DIV align=center>If you think so then come and try. There will be
several Miscreant hosted competitions held to find those who have the "right
stuff" </DIV>
<DIV align=center>They will be granted one of the Fire Walker Lanters to carry
from camp to camp, list field to court, and such and so forth.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>Once there are enough of you out there, there will be a
competion held to find the Prince(Princess) of the Fire Walkers.
(There's a nifty staff with a hook you can hang your lantern from) But
only holders of the lantern will be allowed to compete for this little
title.</DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>BTW, this is our own little way of incouraging entertainers
to get out there and move around. It is time we stop waiting for them to
come to us, we must take it to them!</DIV>
<DIV align=center>Any type of performers are eligable including bards,
jesters, dancers, musicians, and just about anything else you can think of of
course. You may not be the best competition performer out there, but if
you entertain on demand for the good of the populace you have come to the
right place!</DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>And if anyone out there would like to help us in out attempt
to bring out the best entertainers in the Known World, let us know. Any
help would be appreciated.</DIV>
