[!] Throughout your travels, on dirt or gravel, you soon would hear of one whom baffles. A bard most strange with little fame: One “Timothée de Fontaine”. Furthermore, any poet, troubadour or one with talent in store would see his Troupe was arts galore! In song, or via poster, you learn their lore:

 

I never had the stronger hands.

I took the lute and left the schyte.

And while I wandered all the lands.

I met a man who changed my life.

 

Took me a while.

To see his work was quintessential!

At me he’d smile!

For in my eyes he saw potential!

 

He and his marvelous group!

Truly a legend throughout Atlas.

He’d always sing of his Troupe!

His name: Timeo de las Baltas.

 

Baltas' Portrait

“Timeo de las Baltas” by Timothée de Fontaine.

Oil on Canvas c. 1698

 

And when he talked of its fame

Right then all song in me woke!

And when I asked for its name

In bliss, the troubadour spoke:

 

“Hibou Plongeant! ‘E-boo Plon-Jan!’

The diving owl! How does it sound?”

And to this man my soul was bound.

A better Troupe I’ve never found.

 

And how we soared so!

There was no description!

The Troupe fed me and

my wine addiction!

 

Timothée's Drunken Self

“Self Portrait” by Timothée de Fontaine.

Oil (And Wine) on Canvas. c. 1714.

 

...But like cloth we unwove.

Now the Troupe makes no sound

For when the ‘diving owl’ dove

The bird’s beak hit the ground!

 

And we disbanded!

Shot dead, Timeo’s life ended.

The Troupe was stranded.

I couldn’t save the weight that I was handed...

 

Until today! Now I can have a say!

I’ve piled so many merry mina in my many ways!

I’ve met so many people in my many days!

♫   Now be it as it may! I’ll sing it all and pluck away!   

 

Yes it’s true!

I’ll do whatever work that I can do.

I’ll fly just like our great owl flew.

It’s round two! I’ll bring back the Hibou!

 

Glorious!

The Hibou Plongeant’s Insignia.

 

 

Are you a bard?

Do you need a place to go?

Are your times hard?

Do you have talent to show?

 

Is mina running dry?

Do you daily feel upset?

Are you looking for a why?

Look no longer – Do not fret!

 

We make do with all we get!

We talk and write until sunset!

We all debate and play and paint and speak aloud

our thoughts until we sweat!

 

For those of you whom sing or dance,

Those whom craft, romance.

Those whom when they walk must prance!

You poets out there whom believe in free verse, aswell,

we don’t discriminate.

 

Come right in!

Show a grin!

Tell us all the things you’ve seen!

Show the soul you keep within!

Play your lute or violin!

Widely smile, raise your chin!

 

We take all races!

All talents, all places!

Whatever artform.

You’ll have our graces!

 

In times so cruel!

Keep your mouth and pockets full!

Walk with song and leave the dull!

♫   Let the arts become your fuel!   

 

And to apply?

Make quite sure you catch our eye!

Write down what you are and why.

And send a letter, we’ll reply!

 

And whether you’re just bored

A peasant or a lord

Who’s piled mina into a hoard

And doesn’t know what to afford

 

Here’s a tip:

Call us in, we’ll make heads whip!

With mordern works and tunes so slick

Coming from dubious authorship!

 

We’ll show in any port!

A Keep, your Town or Court

All events, from any sort!

Write to us, we’ll soon retort!

 

Our guild is set upon

A town just off Curon

Called “Astorga”! Est très bon!

Pretty people – Sights that stun!

Ripe with trade, filled with fun!

Shining light just like a sun.

To get to it, you simply run

towards Curon, you walk a ton

just take a right- and then you’re done!

 

Not so Glorious

A map to Astorga!

((X:1604 Y:-1549))

 

And if that’s too far

Or roads are all bare!

We’ll come where you are!

The Hibou goes there!

 

For more detail,

to book a show,

or to know just where to go,

just look below!

 

Or talk to me: Timothée.

♫    You’ll love our Troupe, I guarantee!

The read is over. Gee, what glee!

Spoiler

For those interested, this project is a rework of Publius’ orginal Troupe! I send him all my love and thank him for letting me keep the flame lit for the Hibou Plogeant! Here’s his original post if you’re curious!
And a big, big thanks to everyone who’s helped support and inspire the troupe and myself. This has been such a fun journey and I’m hoping to spread the joy throughout Arcas. Hopefully with you!

Matthias saves this mighty poster, tucking into his literature section.

 

”I’d join if I had talent.”

Llenn Songbird, Timothee’s number one fan and understudy, is disappointed that she didn’t receive a personal invitation, and thus boycotts the Hibou.

Khoren somehow finds one of these various flyers, noting the one and only Timothee de Fontaine. The large stone construct would rub its hands together stating a single word.

 

”TIM-OT-HEE.”
