The Bard and her Gladiator
Come one, come all, feast your eyes upon this legend you are about to read. This be a magnificent tale to lay thine eyes upon. Read on as I weave a spectacular tale for your enjoyment. ‘Tis all about how a pair of earrings was the start of an epic love story for a bard and a gladiator. It all began with a bard by the name of Claudine, and a gladiator whom we shall come to know as EvilClown. Their romantic saga began many Deochs ago, during a typical spring for Temuair when the weather was splendid.
‘Twas around the time when our bard was desperately searching far and wide for beautiful jewellery. Polgara, the bard’s sister, was in dire need of andor salve earrings, desiring to yield ever more power in her bow, needing the earrings to learn a more powerful method to her Star Arrow technique. Through Claudine’s frantic search for the feather like jewels is how she first encountered her gladiator. Having previously been guildmates, their contact was limited to passing moments shared with their entire guild but never an actual conversation occuring between the two alone.
Hunting the earrings was perilous as they were only found in the deepest rooms of Andor Dungeon. Despite her many Deochs of wisdom, she did not think herself fit to lead a group into the bowels of Andor and live to tell the tale. So instead of hunting them, she’d laboured many moons dyeing fine garments, brewing precious potions and braving the Creants themselves with her friend Lyle. This was all in the desire to garner riches from other Aislings in exchange for her goods.
Every few suns, Claudine had carefully scripted posts, then pinned the many parchments onto the various towns’ bank boards, however, each note had gone unanswered. Without warning, life as she knew it, was about to change.
