exilesladders



	This is my updated version that includes everything. The ryhmes referencing actual ladders appear in order of appearance in the books
				These two are those that appear on the Info page of the BB, with the exception of the text in green which show my corrections or short additions.

			The Ladder Song Long or short, short or long This is called the Ladder Song Near or far, far or near Takes you there or brings you here Far of near, near or far Doesn't matter where you are Twice Twenty-two the Ladder's girt All Lenfell's Shirs, the Bards assert; But one is lost, Mage, stay alert, The broken circle's spell avert. Six Ladders each the Shirs possess-- Though some have more, and others, less-- When rungs are paired, the sum assess: Twice twenty-two. Mage, can you guess? Conundrum numbers; think them through To sum them in a total true; Six times fifteen, twice twenty-two-- Halve the greatest. The last is due The new struck coin of Captal's woe In payment to the timeless foe.
