"So, it's Siobhann you be looking for, eh?" says the barkeep as he swipes at a mug with his rag. "You'll be finding her up at the Conservatory." He leans forward. "Just between you and me, she's always a tad nervous before a performance. Likes to go over her songs and stories a bit. Go on up now and have a chat, or if you like, visit some the entertainers at the Bardic Guild. I warrant there's gaming a plenty in the Gamblers' Den. On the way, you'll pass the Scriveners' Hall, where our bards swap their tales and give each other a helping hand. 'Course, if you dinna want to see Siobhann just now, you can always send her a Missive." The barkeep slides a heavy, leather-bound tome toward you. "Dinna forget to check our Registry before you leave." Well met and merry meet. The Minstrel's Gallery has undergone some cosmetic changes to make your visit here more enjoyable. Be you one of our regulars or a weary traveler seeking succor from the road, raise a glass with the bards in the Gallery and enjoy your stay. If you've the mind, pray send a missive and let us know what you think of our new look. Dinna mind the wax puddles left from our candles ~ our scribes worked round the clock to make this a friendlier place. Our changes since the 20th of November, 1998, are recorded below. Trapped within another's frames? Do not despair, for Freedom is but a click away. Or, if tis your wish, visit our other Gallery to be free from our own frames as well. New Searching for the Gallery's Codex of songs? You'll find it with the Conservatory. Tis part of the revamped look of the Gallery. New You'll be finding your way around easier within the Conservatory, as well. Our scribes have been working feverishly to link each song title from the Codex directly to the song itself. No more thumbing through pages! New Not only did mine scribes link the songs directly, but also ha' they penned lyrics to the songs listed in the J Songs section. Among the new lyrics you'll be finding are those for Jack Orion (two versions actually!), Johnny O'Braidesley, Johnny Be Fair, and several drinking songs of the "jolly" variety. New So many fellow travelers have paused a while at the Gallery that the leather bindings on our old Registry were cracking. A new Registry has been installed. Be among the first to sign it. (Of course, you can still thumb through the old one to read the thoughts of those who've come before.) The link to our old Registry is available only on this (The Gallery) page. New The Song of Talieson has been added to our list of ancient bardic works. Find them in the Bardic Guild. I prithee, an thou hast enjoyed rest and merriment whilst pausing at the Gallery, scribe thy thoughts in the Registry below.
