> Oh, the year was Ado Societies thirty-five;
> The Heralds call rang out, far and wide.
> To the ear of every Bard across our Land;
> The choosing of Steppes Bard, was now at hand.
> Traveling from all points, the Bards they came;
> Each to Perform, and give our lands fame.
> Hoping for them, fortunes smile would fall;
> Even through the strength, of Elfsea's, Bardic Shield Wall.
>
> Twenty and seven Bards, did answer that call;
> Nine of great skill stood, in Elfsea's Wall.
> All in voice so rare, that warm star lit night;
> With perfections kiss, the Bards gave, a wondrous fight.
> Old and new Bards of Elfsea' this night did stand;
> For honor and valor, to bring to their baronial Land.
> Her own Baron, in the Muses light, stood tall;
> Then he and his were dubbed, the Elfsea Bardic Shield wall.
>
> Uriah of Israel's pride, gallantly took the field;
> A love of the heavens, and faith he made all feel.
> Nicolette in splendor, and grace, with style so grand;
> Showed the folly of the fool, who lightly takes, a woman's hand.
> Senán Mac Tighearnáin, brought glasses raised, in toasts of Love;
> To the Ansteorran ladies, lifted higher than the stars above.
> While Lady Simone sang, of a Queens's death to all;
> The strength of her voice, added to Elfsea's, Bardic Shield Wall

> Lord Antigionus stood tall, in the Black Stars noble light;.
> As he questioned every heart, to see a Warlord's might,
> Lord Timothy of Glastonbury, stood his ground;
> He reminded every noble heart, of the Burned of the Crown,
> Lord Phillip White taught all in sight, with glorious oratory might;
> The image that was, Mary of Scots last, Noble Martyr's Fight,
> Honorable Lord Darious brought a Lions Heart to all;
> His dynamic presence, to support Elfsea's, Bardic Shield Wall.

> Twas, as if the gods, and Muses above, did pray he stand;
> Elfsea's Baron, in splendor stood tall, in Steppes fair Land,
> Baron Galen of Bristol reminded all, of Duty and Nobility true;
> of fetidly, honor, strength and valor, in action and manner due,
> Elfsea's Bards did set the stage, that Warm Star lit night;
> Themes of Love, and Duty did all bards show, with great might,

> First Bard to last against our wall did most nobly stand;
> >From start to finish, fiercely fighting, Elfsea's noble Band.
> Every performance for a Noble's ear brought a hard blow to bear;
> Talent of this like, was ner before heard, save in heavens ear.
> The firelight dimmed, Elfsea's wall, still in splendor stood grand;
> Came then, one Bard to stand, and answer Steppes' Noble Baron's demand,
> For a Bard of Glory renown, to show  Steppes splendor,  to gentles all;
> Baron Aethelstan Aethelmearson, Mortaly Stuck Elfsea's, Bardic

> With his song, the Black Star rose again, in the hearts of men;
> Valiant hero's he did boldly make, of our hard fighting men,
> His noble tongue and warrior ways, called to all hearts in the night;
