"The Spoils of War"
In the spring when the first crops are ready and travel is easier,
the first markets would open and those that had reaped from
bloodier fields the year past would look to sell their
wares.
- Create an item that would have been taken from the
battlefield.
- Showing said item came from a specific battle field is
encouraged.
Documentation required, but as
a simple note. What is the thing Where is the thing from
(country or culture of origin) When is the thing
from Preferably written on something
that can be presented alongside the thing for the thing should take
center stage.
Bardic -
The cold cruel winter had set many shivering knaves to the comfort
of warmer more sensitive friends and in honour of those friends i
would ask any and all who would take the mantle of Bardic Champion
from me, win it with yer best sheep.
A sheep in any media, be it song, story or romantic
prose.
I look foward to hearing all of ewe.

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
