Jornibret’s Last Dance

A Light Armor skill book: a comic ballad about a lady-killer lord and the partner who outsmarted him.

Lord Jornibret’s Last Dance is a traditional song in verses for women and men. Every year at the Queen of Rimmen’s ball, the handsome Lord Jornibret charms a maiden with a spell, and her first dance with him is her last. The final verse reveals who finally put a stop to his game – and the bear-hide armor involved.
