What is a "balladeer"?

The bard, the minstrel, the troubadour... story tellers who captured the imagination, overwhelmed the emotions and inspired both lords and commoners with histories, comedies, and tragedies.

More than mere distraction, their tales told of courage and cowardice, honesty and deception, hatred and true love - what it means to be human. They used the power of story to make the unseen seen.

Born out of the passions and imaginations of three men: a Doodler, a Geek, and a Bean-counter; Balladeer is the fruit of three years of study, sweat, prayer and discovery... the current chapter, in an epic that is still being written.

These "fence posts" reveal the borders of a vast 'undiscovered country'. Join with us us on a great adventure as we go "further up, and further in!"
