    THREAD CLOSED

    A bunch of natives has traveled northwards and brought with them some of their traditions... one of them is to gather in huge tents and have lots of beer accompanied by loud oompah-music.... This is the central venue during the Germania Fall Festival for all visitors to meet, eat, quench their thirst and be merry!

    Entering the brightly coloured tent, Svana is struck in amazement by the incredible size of the sausages. Hmm, bigger than Frey himself! she pondered, and gobbled one down hungrily.

    She wasn't used to drinking strong ale, but she thought she'd enter into the Bavarian spirit and ordered herself a huge stein of the strongest ale on the menu...

    ...and before long she is up on one of the tables, throwing her skirts around and singing wildly!

    "Love is flitting all around
    with desire conjointly bound,
    young men and young women go
    fast entwined, and rightly so!

    But a girl without a mate
    suffers an unhappy fate,
    for her heart is locked up tight
    freezing in unending night...
    Oh, but that's a bitter sight!

    Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit als hier das unsre weit und breit,
    wo wir uns finden, wohl unter Linden zur Abendzeit.

    Da haben wir so manche Stund gesessen da in froher Rund,
    und taten singen; die Lieder klingen im Eichengrund.

    Daß wir uns hier in diesem Tal noch treffen soviel hundertmal,
    Götter mag es schenken, Götter mag es lenken, Sie hat die Gnad'.

    Nun, Brüder, eine gute Nacht, der Götter im hohen Asgard wacht,
    in Seiner Güte, uns zu behüten, ist Er bedacht.

    Ihr Brüder wißt, was uns vereint, eine andre Sonne hell uns scheint;
    in ihr wir leben, zu ihr wir streben als die Gemeind'."
