While the Golden Swan contest categories are not specifically classes, they are open to the public, and provide learning opportunities for any who care to join.
Part of the challenge of Golden Swan is staying in persona. We ask that people attending the Golden Swan round tables try to speak forsoothly, and respect the enchanted ground that Appledore sits upon. Save the mundanity of everyday life for another time and place.
