I can't recall my first meeting with His Excellency, Count Finn Kelly O'Donnell. I can tell that I know him not so much as a knight but as a cook, brewer, and bard. There have been many a time around a campfire that he shared some homebrew beer or cordial and sang old songs and told many a story. However I loved when he sang Irish folk songs the best for he would add a wee accent that accompanied them so well. | I can't recall my first meeting with His Excellency, Count Finn Kelly O'Donnell.

I can't recall my first meeting with His Excellency, Count Finn Kelly O'Donnell. I can tell that I know him not so much as a knight but as a cook, brewer, and bard. There have been many a time around a campfire that he shared some homebrew beer or cordial and sang old songs and told many a story. However I loved when he sang Irish folk songs the best for he would add a wee accent that accompanied them so well.
Megan Andoniel of Glengalen
Newly arrived home
From a meeting of friends
With tales of the one
Who sails no more on these shores.
The hall seems empty
Without the words of others
And the tributes
So recently spoken.
Your gracious gold
Helped bring us the origin
Sword of State, reforged by Orm,
Tended by shipmates, in earliest days.
Proud sword on the Raven,
We broke through together
Walls of swordsmen
Come to barter for Ansteorran jewels
But most, we sang us home
And into the dawn
E'er fighting and feast began anew
In a new day.
The Old Songs held us,
And tied to the Green Shores
We always had heart there.
Hail Raven, King, Lion, Knight, Bard
The Parting Glass that once we sang
Comes floating in refrain
From misty realms and time gone.
Ansteorran hero, Finn Kelly, I will miss you.
