Ruby Joust III Poetry Winner
Gem
The poor soul found a stone that shined so bright When brought forth unto the fair sun’s light
To find the red gem he labored through the nightThe poor soul found a stone that shined so bright
Quick as was found did the ruby take flight Seized by the Baron as was his right
The poor miner lost the stone that shined so brightWhen brought forth unto the fair sun’s light
By Lady Avice Claremond
This poem is a Triolet – a form used during the late 13th through the 14th centuryThe first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines.
The second line is repeated in the eighth line.

Trial by FireFortuna’s Games
June 20-22
FRIENDS, ROMANS, ATLANTIANS, lend me your eyes! Come seek the favor of the Goddess Fortuna by attending the games in her honor on the summer solstice in Rome’s most exclusive suburb, the village of Absentia. However stoic and upstanding your reputation, no infamy will attach to you from attendance at these games, for the village’s motto is “What happens in Absentia, stays in Absentia.”
To encourage the excessive wagering likely to win the goddess’ favor, your hostess will provide each with a pouch of coins of the realm, and suitably shady bookmakers to set the odds and record your wagers. The weekend’s events scheduled to provide opportunities for betting include:
The Lochmere Arrow shoot and other archery contests; Chariot races, featuring sturdy Atlantian ponies [children] (Those who wish to participate should bring a favorite stuffed animal to serve as the charioteer.) Trial by Fire: – an opportunity for acclaimed chefs to pit their skills against the members of the renowned Bright Hills Cooks Guild, Costume contests, with prizes for best Roman garb for adults and for children, and Contests for singers, storytellers, dancers, poets, musicians and performers of all kinds, with special prizes for performances honoring Fortana (aka Lady Luck), and Apollo, the harper of the gods.
For those seeking to slake their thirst and/or more opportunities for wagering, there will be potable liquids and table games at Fortuna’s Wheel, the tavern in Absentia that boasts the unique Sekunjabin Bar, run by that famed brewer and vintner, Lady Livia di Samuele. Your purses will be safe in the tavern and all of Absentia, since Fortuna’s Wheel also hosts the local office of the Praetorian Guard. And of course, there will be tavern space for minstrels, musicians, poets and philosophers to make music, swap stories, exchange gossip, and brew mischief.
Both Friday and Saturday evenings will conclude with revelry around the fire, with performers particularly welcome.
News Flash! Flabbius Corpus, the nobleman acclaimed throughout Rome for his poetry, and also renowned for his enthu-siastic appetite, has announced that he will be in residence at his villa in Absentia, hosting a party before the start of the games, where his closest friends will be treated to the premier performance of his newest masterpiece of epic verse.
Martial: Activities: Target Archery
Arts & Science Activities: Non-archers are welcome to attend to eat, schmooze, and work on small A&S projects.
Site: Baltimore Bowmen, 10301 Harford Road, Glen Arm, MD 21057. Site opens Friday 5pm, closes Sunday 2pm.
Autocrat: Lady Yseulte Trevelyn (Karen Setze), 1629 Riedel Road, Crofton, MD 21114, Phone: (410) 721-4752, E-mail: [email protected]
