#37 - "Sound"

There's nothing quite like a Gather for sounds.

The weyrsinger's good enough, but you rarely get more than one Harper visiting the Weyr at a time, and you can't beat a rousing ballad or a few good dance reels. The Lords do like to outdo each other, and there's always something new, especially at Fort.

Ah, but the real music doesn't come from Harpers. No, you have to go further down the valley, to the runnerbeast races. Cheering crowds, shouted odds, and the oh-so-sweet moment when you know you'll be leaving with more marks than you came with.
