Below is a riddle that appeared in the August "Quoth the Raven". For those of you that do not receive the newsletter it is reprinted here. If I have not received a correct answer by feast Saturday afternoon at Defender of the Fort I will divulge the solution. Good luck.
>>> The Watchful Bird <<<
A riddle by Lord Marivs Atreidae
A stone seated raven
with a central view
watched long years passed by
Sanding alone
all secrets known
to the site of its one peering eye
Assassins are crafty,
they crept and they hide
the signature of their red art
So then laid to rest
where royal bones nest
near the fire deep in our heart
Baronesses with excellent dresses
and their Barons
they come and they go
A parade of the masses,
all of both classes
and still the bird takes in the show
But seasons they change
and winter it thaws
and hope blooms in the new growth
>From shadow to light
now standing up right
by the faithful that come for an oath
The Assassin returns
with the hand of a Saint
to up root and feathers they flew
And where they now settle,
well that is the riddle,
in sight of more than a few
Oh, Where can I be
And What can I be
Or Who can I possibly be
I look to my past
and across the green grass
with the raven's eye fix on me
