The Ladies Three
In Baba Belsky's Book of Fables the ladies are reduced to this poem by u/breosaighead . The ladies three are old forgotten lore and you won't get any specifics from a children's' book. Its good to foreshadow them later though.
Summary
Where is my lady, the maiden fair
With eyes like stars and raven hair
There she stands in a ring of stone
Where she waits for me and me alone
Through forest and glade and wood so deep
Where truths are known and secrets keep
She begs a gift, and give I do
For never was there one so true.
Where is my lady, the cunning and bold
Whose wit does bite like winter's cold
There she stands in a ring of stone
Where she waits for me and me alone
Through hill and mountain and highest peak
Where storms rule strong and life is bleak
She begs a trial, and try I do
For never was there one so true.
Where is my lady, playful and sly
With a laugh that's light and a step that's spry
There she stands in a ring of stone
Where she waits for me and me alone
Through swamp and marsh and lonely bog
Where death comes slow as a creeping fog
She begs my heart, and die I do
For never was there one so true.
Spread
The Ladies Three is an old Seroni folk story about the 'fairy guardians' that use to own the land and help its people. It's a common tale among adults and children in the land and experienced gradual spread as time progressed most notable through the Three Fairies Wines.
In the Colonial Age it was put to print in Master Osmiths Tales of the Land and became a common nursery rhyme for young children.
In Art
The Three Ladies serve as a central figure in depictions of Serona among its artists. Representations through items or characters are present in near every image of their royalty or major national events.
