An Tir Awards Series! Learn about ALL THE AWARDS!! Award : Lion's Troubadour
A mark of favour given by the Crown to those who have completed a term as the Bardic Champion of An Tir.
The third in a series of awards given to those that have finished a term as a Champion. This one is for what is quite often the wordiest of Champions... Our Bardic Champion!
Before the Competition the competitors are charged thusly:
Today you enter the List to compete for the honor of being Bardic Champion of An Tir. The one who carries this title is sworn in fealty to the Crown of An Tir, that when Their Majesties marshal the performers, bards, jongleurs, minstrels, poets and tale spinners of the Kingdom, there shall the Champion be at the fore, reflecting the glory of the Kingdom's lore and skill.
This is a grave responsibility, not to be undertaken lightly, for even as they take their place in Their Majesties' court and at Their side, the Champion’s deeds must show forth the talent and knowledge of the court and this Kingdom to all the world.
So, understanding the station to which you aspire, mark now the words of the Crown.
