[Elfsea] The Legendary Hospitality of Falconrose Keep

[sam cooper]

Usually a legend proves less in the flesh than in the bard's telling, but
not so in the case of this household. Never was a legend so true and so
welcome as the hospitality extended to me, a lone wayfarer to Warlord. Lord
Aradon's younger house members took me when my search for fellow travellers
from the Loch Soilleir proved vain. Though my shelter is trying and
difficult to raise, hands were willing and the work thus shared much
lighter.

The rest of the household illuminated just why such fine manners were
present even to the newest members of the household; these were merely
following the fine examples so set by the Lady Rose and Lord Aradon. Though
the weather turned sour, my gracious hosts made this one of the most
enjoyable events of my several years experience. We broke bread together,
shared wine and tales, and merry indeed was the feasting and friendship
about the campfire late into the night's revels.

Lord Aradon leads in the best of all manners, by setting a worthy and
unstinting example in the responsibilty and painstaking care for the
wellbeing of those both within and without his household, no matter the time
he spends or how far such troubles take him from intended paths. His
household follows this example heartily.

Some say we all follow our own Dream. That may be true. My toast
to Falconrose however, was that in sharing their fine Dream with me, they
have shown me how to grow my own Dream. My idea of it has been enriched and
inspired by their wonderous example.

Lord Aradon of Falconrose Keep, may you have warm words on a cold evening, a
full moon on a dark night, and the pursuit of true honor guide you and your
house always.

In friendship and respect,

Si'le inghean ui mac Aoidh,
from the Barony of Loch Soilleir
