The Bitterbynde Trilogy
“Proud peacocks strut on sweeping, verdant lawns And nightingales in gilded cages sing.
Glass carriages with plumed and matching teams Roll on amid this royal plenitude, By ornamental lakes where sleek swans glide, Reflecting on their mirrored pulchritude.
The silk and satin ladies with their fans Incline upon the marble balustrade.
The night will see them dance like butterflies, When they attend the Royal Masquerade.
Fair jewels gleam on ev’ry courtly peer: Bright rubies, sapphires, diamonds, a...nd pearls.
The costliest of velvets, plumes, and furs Adorn dukes, viscounts, marquesses, and earls.
Prosperity and luxury abound; Sweet music plays as nobles feast and sport.
The rarest beauty and the greatest wealth Are found within the Empire’s Royal Court.
FASHIONABLE SONG AT THE COURT OF CAERMELOR Caermelor Palace had originally been constructed as a castle stronghold and still retained its fortified outer structure. Machicolated watchtowers, siege engine towers, stair turrets, a mill tower, round mural towers, square mural towers, and numerous other outjuttings thickened the twelve-foot-deep walls at varying intervals.MoreLess
