Darcy of Paxlair

Darcy of Paxlair is a troubadour, who can often be found in the Ardoris marketplace. He sings about the virtue of courtly love.

Lore
Darcy will sing the first verse of "Nightingale", or "Laostic" as it was known in the old tongue. It is a tale of two knights and the lady they both loved; a cautionary tale.


 * "Near Vauban there was a town Somewhere near, of great renown Two knights lived there, no lowly vassals In houses that were built like castles "These barons were noble, and their fame Gave their village's virtue its name One of them had married lately, Polite and polished, such a lady!  "She was wise to her own worth, Normal in ladies of such high birth. The other lord was a bachelor Famed for prowess and for valor  "Loved by all, for he knew how to live Joust and spend what you have to give He loved the wife of his neighbor He begged so much and then yet more  "And goodness was his striking feature So she loved him more than any creature Because of the deeds he was famous for, And because he lived in the castle next door!"
