In days of old, t'was the Greeks who coined the word 'barbarian.' It is said the Greeks, for all their 'culture',
their so-called refinement, could not understand the tongue of the Northern Tribes - the people of Germania -- and
as a 'joke' refered to our language as 'bar bar bar bar bar.' How little they knew - how little they could appreciate
the intracies, the beauty, the class and the sophistication of the Germanics?
Let us now show you now, the peoples of Ancient Worlds... how wrong the peoples of Hellas were!
In the name of the All Father... Odin - The One Eyed, The God of Runecraft, God of Wisdom.
God of Knowledge, God of Battle, God of Victory, The Wanderer, The Welcome One... YOU are welcome to the
Ancient Worlds Goldfest 2006 inaugural Royal Barbarian Bacchanal. |

*You are greeted by Odin himself at the very portal of Valhalla...*
"Come in, come in! Whoa - you there, in the muddy boots! Get those off! And change your clothes,
for crying out loud! Can't you see this is a formal affair? *sheesh* One can take the Barbarian
out of the wild, but one cannnot take the wild (and crazy!) out of the Barbarian. That's right! Move along,
people! Lovely dress my dear Anarane! You look ravishing! (and so she does!) Those of you wearing furs...
fox, ermine, mink, wolf, bear ... those you with the adornments of battle... your shield, your sword...
we ask kindly that they they be left at the entrance... and so...
 *Your lovely and esteemed hostess, Bree Burgundian, steps forward*
Welcome... welcome one and all to The Royal Barbarian Bacchanal!
After a day of Wild Hunting, we Germanians thought it would do nicely to show
our civilized side and gather here in the hallowed halls of Valhalla for this formal,
glittering extravaganza. So, men - warriors, esteemed foreign guests --
throw on your tuxes and ladies, get decked out to the nines... Tonight, we're going to party like it's 799 A.D!
Tonight, the peoples of Germania present an after hunt ball to entertain you. We, the peoples of Germania,
present the fire and ice of Vallhala... and we are assured you will not only be delighted but surprised and enlightened,
not only by the Germanic hospitality, but that our Bacchanal will prove to be the one and only place
to see and be seen this Goldfest!

Please present your tickets, everyone. What?? You didn't purchase them before the hunt? *exasperated sigh*
Well, then, you missed the pre-hunt special! You do realize the tickets are more expensive at the door, don't you?
Fine then, here's your ticket. And you in the back, if you don't get that smelly pelt off your shoulders before you walk
into this hall, I'm going to set Odin's Wild Hounds on you! *blows air kisses to Anarane* You do look lovely,
Ana dear!
Step forward... please accept a complimentary Germanic beverage as you enter... a schnapps, an
eierlikör, a feuerzangenbowle... a butternut brandy... there's more to be had inside, along with
the delights, sights and sounds that only a Germanic party can provide!"
