"Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum,
I Smell the Blood of an Englishman
Be he alive or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread!"

This year's Bardic Madness will take place on November 19th, 2016. Our hosts are the Barony of Illition (Peoria, IL).
Many thanks go to all of them for their hospitality in helping the bardic community out this year.
Bring on the bad guys! Villains, anti-heroes, and mustache twirlers of the world unite. For too long have we been eclipsed by the shadow of heroes, paladins, and all around goody two shoes. No more! Today our stories shall be told!
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAA!!!
*Ahem* To the rest of you gathered here today, pay no attention to the cosmic zeta blaster currently being pointed at your planet/home/family/goldfish. Think of it as simple inducement for your creativity. We are certain you shall endeavor your utmost to present us with songs, stories, and poems of cunning and devious exploits.
After all, what’s a freez... err death ray or two among friends?
So come, one and all, to the dark side - we have cookies.

NOTES FROM THE CO-AUTOCRATS:
*** Site is BONE DRY! ***
Baron John of Illiton
This site has been made available to us, FREE OF CHARGE, through the generosity of Lady Arianna’s mundane employer. Should you choose to bring alcohol to this BONE DRY SITE
(even if it remains in your car in the parking lot),
I, Master John Inchingham the Fool, Baron of Illiton, will compose for you a song of infamy. I will make your name rhyme with boorishness and discourtesy. I will give you word-fame throughout the Known World—but not in a good way.
Please DON’T MAKE ME UNPACK MY ADJECTIVES!
*** No Weapons on Site! ***
Arianna Husher
No weapon policy: including swords, axes, tridents, arrows, spears, etc. are allowed on site. This is due to the site being on corporate owned land and follows Federal Guidelines.
Cardboard, Styrofoam, foam, plastic, and some 'boffer' prop replacements would be allowed.
Thank you!
BARDIC ARTS SANCTUARY
Let it be known far and wide that we, John and Maire, Baron and Baroness of Illiton, declare that our domain, including our beloved Canton of Lochmorrow and all the lands that we hold in fief for the Crown, from this moment forth, is a BARDIC ARTS SANCTUARY.
We invite all singers and storytellers, poets and minstrels to visit our barony and entertain us. To such worthies we say, “Stay for as long as you wish and we will arrange opportunities for you to perform for our populace.” We especially seek-out those bards who illuminate the culture of our Society and strive to preserve the history of Illiton, the Midlands Region and the Middle Kingdom. As The Honorable Lady Emer nic Aiden hath written, “Come and be welcome.”
So say we, John and Maire, Baron and Baroness of Illiton (comprising one quarter of the Kontore League) in the presence of Their Royal Majesties, King Cameron II and Queen Amelie II, at Baroness Wars IV, in the Shire of Swordcliff, on this twenty-seventh day of August, AS LI (51).
