Support Bardic Arts in Madrone as Champion
Instead of a bardic competition, Barun Christopher and Barunin Gera are requesting a public statement of intent from interested Bardic Championship candidates, briefly describing their bardic pursuits and stating how they would promote and support the bardic arts in Madrone.
This statement of intent can be in writing, via video, through a public announcement at the event, or other creative option. The deadline for this statement of intent is 12pm on the day of Rogue’s Tavern, February 8, 2025.
We also invite candidates to share a bardic performance at Rogue Tavern, not as a competition, but for the candidates’ pleasure and the education of our populace.
A champion’s rewards: fabulous regalia, a place in our Baronial court, a captive audience for classes and demos, much word-fame, and our support as patron and promoter for your broader bardic endeavors.
Responsibilities of the champion: please don’t lose the fabulous regalia, and do show up for our baronial court at Madrone events.
