Nobles and yeofolk alike flock to hear troubadours perform songs of those inspired to glory by their love and of those doomed to tragedy by the same. In between the revels there is much discussion of what True Love really means for those who choose to place it alongside Glory as the reason for living.

	Several troubadours have been carefully considering the implications of the idea that Love and Glory arise from, and in turn inspire, Virtuous spirits. The judgement of [[Recognition]] exists to acknowledge those who are [[paragons and exemplars]] of the virtues, but what about those people whose deeds - while not spectacularly virtues - nonetheless arose from true Love or true Glory?
