Each year, for as long as anyone can remember, Sibyl Riversleigh has seen in the New Year at the Tavern di Muse. It has always been the haunt of intinerant arts people. Her father disapproved of the company she kept, the clothes she wore, the drinks she drank.

Sibyl is mellowing now and is going through a more conservative phase - or so she would have some believe. Those who know her well know that she will break out and pull one of her infamous table top dances. Neither her father or Charles approved of those either and one year they had a gang forcibly remove her from the Tavern and lock her in the tower at Riversleigh.
