[Northkeep] One more day!

It's hard to go wrong with "The Dancer's Vanity"

Once there was a group and it fought with Tree-girt-sea
And the name of the group was the North Woods Barony-
And they feared they would be taken by the Mongol enemy
As they marched along the Inland, Inland, Inland--
Marched along the Inland Sea.

Then up spoke a Dancer with her little sister, she
Bravely said to the King, "What would you give to me
If I dance along the side of the Mongol enemy
And turn them from the North Woods Barony,
In their march along the Inland Sea?"

"Well, I will give you silver and I will give you gold
And my own chosen queen each of you in turn shall be
If you dance along the side of the Mongol enemy
And turn them from the North Woods Barony
In their march along the Inland Sea."

So she rode to the camp of the Mongol enemy
To the camp of the Horde, fierce warriors proud and free
She said "Take me to your leader or your warlord if you please
I am sent here from the North Woods Barony
I am sure that he would speak with me."

Then she let fall her cloak, and in dancer's garb stood she
And she said to the Warlord, "All that you can see
(And that which you cannot) I would freely give to thee
If you overlook the North Woods Barony
In your march along the Inland Sea."

"Well, well do I like plunder and well do I like gold
And the trust of my men is a thing most dear to me
But ... when I am confronted by a beauty such as thee
The Devil take the North Woods Barony!
We'll overlook them eagerly!"

She returned (the next morn) to the North Woods Barony
And she said to the King "We've achieved a victory
We have turned aside the march of the Mongol enemy
Now where is the reward you promised me
The treasures of our Barony?"

"Well some kind of fool you must take me for to be
If you think I would give reward to such as thee
Who has openly consorted with the Mongol enemy
As they failed to reach the North Woods Barony
In their march along the Inland Sea."

Then a great cry arose and all did turn to see
For there in their midst was the Mongol enemy
Who had never ceased their march on the North Woods Barony
They double-crossed the Dancer proud and free,
Just like the North Woods Barony.

"Dear Dancer and dear King," said the Warlord full of glee.
"Did you think you could work your wiles on such as we?
By your own rules we return treachery with treachery
And you never will be rid of foes like me
If you try to deal in treachery!"

Now the moral of my story, please listen while I sing
Is to never trust a Mongol ... a Dancer ... or a King!
For if you do some kind of fool you'll be
And they'll sink you in the Inland, Inland, Inland,
Sink you in the Inland Sea!!!

Your Excellency,

I would like to offer to make copies (10 or 15 or so) of any songs that
people would like to hear throughout the day so that our visitors as
well as our members can join me in song.  All I ask is that the populace
please send me (off-list, please) any songs (names would be helpful,
lines from favorites will usually work as well) that they would like to
see included.

I am really looking forward to having a good day among the people of 
Northkeep and her freinds. By the way if you are a friend of Northkeep 
please come visit us in Chemin Noir this weekend.

 So please everyone come to the Demo, dress up in your finery, bring a 
chair, bring your cooler, and something to cover any mundane apprearance
of 
said chair or cooler, bring something to display, or work on,...and
enjoy 
the demo. It is basically like a mini event that the public is invited
to. 
There will be fighting, arts and sciences, and hopefully bardic, and if
you 
folks bring them drums and dancers would also be nice. Maybe Zubeydah
would 
be willing to do some of her dancing classes at the demo?

I am especially eager to see a lot of hands on crafts and A&S things
going 
on, to hear music or singing through out the day, and in sharing in the 
luncheon with everyone.

Kindly,
Ian
Baron
