Each challenge of Atlantian Bardic Madness II is watched over by a Patron or Patroness.
Patrons announce the challenge, call each performer in turn, and offer a small token of thanks to those who step forward to meet it. More than that, they lend character and warmth to their portion of the day, helping each court take on its own spirit and flavor.
To serve as a Patron is to encourage the performers, honor the bardic arts, and help shape the atmosphere of the revel.
If you are interested in serving as a Patron, please contact the event staff for more information.
