'''Darcy of Paxlair''' is a troubadour, who can often be found in the Ardoris marketplace. He sings about the virtue of courtly love.

==Lore==
Darcy will sing the first verse of "Nightingale", or "Laostic" as it was known in the old tongue. It is a tale of two knights and the lady they both loved; a cautionary tale.

:''"Near Vauban there was a town<br>Somewhere near, of great renown<br>Two knights lived there, no lowly vassals<br>In houses that were built like castles<br><br>"These barons were noble, and their fame<br>Gave their village's virtue its name<br>One of them had married lately,<br>Polite and polished, such a lady!<br><br>"She was wise to her own worth,<br>Normal in ladies of such high birth.<br>The other lord was a bachelor<br>Famed for prowess and for valor<br><br>"Loved by all, for he knew how to live<br>Joust and spend what you have to give<br>He loved the wife of his neighbor<br>He begged so much and then yet more<br><br>"And goodness was his striking feature<br>So she loved him more than any creature<br>Because of the deeds he was famous for,<br>And because he lived in the castle next door!"''
