Er. I can help out with various of those - Summerlands, Leri, Mists ~ Excalibur ~ King Mark.

But I presume you want IC info? As in stuff living characters know?

stuff that i might be able to dig out of some deep distant harts library, due to being high bard would be fine :-)

It's for story telling hour at the fayre :-) So if you have anything you can give me that would be cool - I hate the idea of harts history vanishing just cos no-one at the time got their accounts onto an internet site anyone can find...

ermm I'll try and track down tanners hill (or Amelia can probably just remember)

Hugo..well
"Heroic Hugo! Cry the bards, righting every wrong!
Heroic hugo drinking wine, and revelling in soooonnng!

Hugo prince of albion,
defender of the free
....."

For them as go up Tanner's Hill, they'll not come down the same...

Ah, yes. I think it was either 1102, possibly 1103. That was the first time I played Julia Justina, and was rather shocked to find out that I could claim Excalibur by right... (it was Branwen's fault). Stoopid visions.

On a winter's evening when all were cold and still
There came a goodman walking up the road to Tanner's Hill
On a winter's evening without no wind nor rain
A man went up Tanner's Hill; a bard came down again.

Once go for wisdom
Twice go for fame
But them as go up Tanner's Hill, they'll not come down the same

Mild and misty springtime when all were fine and fair
A bard climbed up to Tanner's Hill to get a breath of air
Mild and misty springtime with birdsong on the brain
A bard climbed up to Tanner's Hill; a knight went home again

When the blue cloaks circle
When the sky's aflame
But them as go up Tanner's Hill, they'll not come down the same.

Bright midsummer morning with the sun up in the sky
A knight went up to Tanner's Hill his fortunes for to try
Bright midsummer morning with the blossom on the lane
A knight went up to Tanner's Hill and mad came down again.

Some say's it's the old ones
Some say as it's the fey
But them as goes up Tanner's Hill they'll not come down the same.

At the end of autumn as the leaves lay dead and still
There came a madman walking up the road to Tanner's Hill
At the end of autumn when the year were on the wane
A madman climbed to Tanner's Hill and ne'er came down again.

Don't walk the road love
Don't try the lane
Don't go up to Tanner's Hill; you'll not come down the same.

Hugo's very brave, He fell unconscious in the white house and still got out alive.......

I'm sure there's some half orc poetry about him lying around here somewhere.

And then there's Cadarns stag night. Not many of us walked out of that one.

Martaine he liked his cocktail glass or blood one his hands, he wasn't fussy about which, those where his happiest times.

Elspeth she was the boring one really didn't trust anyone outside the faction well not if they came from tutonia, or another planet. She never joined in on any of the drinking games.

S'peaker and his tribe were fun. Did you ever hear the one about when he learnt to climb walls. There was an official apology after that one. Although out of the lot of them S'ting had the sharpest teeth.

And that sword was forever getting lost it's been more places than the faction put together.

And you haven't even mentioned Benedict, of the harts that is, not prince benedict of the vipers, he's be most upset.

And if you want to go back further there's Lycandra the black. She had a great singing voice especially when singing about raveging.

Solarian could help with some, I think there are mission reports of the mists, from the flight, so they might need translation (they're in the Campaign section of the Harts website, which is nominally brighthelm stane library I believe)

Unfortunately he can't help you with Martaine, as he gave his word not to remember.

I will see what I can dig out and write them up for you (A dream writing tales for a story, what would the Elders say!).
