Silver into the Seventeen-hundreds

[Publius 4098]

As you adventure about Atlas, you hear tell of a poem about the Mali’aheral – the High Elves, as better known by humanity. Of those who read, they would learn of Timeo de la Baltas published account of Fi’halen, or Haelun’or as it is now known. It would read as follows;

Blind men may be made of those who beheld a city of Silver,

Weak men made immobile by the length journey of the bridge thereto,

Of the wise? Both would be a worthy sacrifice.

Outside of the blizzards of the south I welcome the sights of warm water,

Though unwelcome am I priorto the proof of my own persons warm blood,

A people justified in being paranoid welcome me.

Behind bars stand people who contain good will rather than suffer detention,

Having taken smashed stones and rebuilt a monument to unshakeable virtue,

Heads ducked aneath where an evil prince once struck them.

There though you would find upon Atlas the most beautiful gem worth protecting,

Clutched tightly by hands whose knuckles grew as pale as the complexion of its citizens,

Conviction not failing them as fingers may try to pry free their grip.

Among them now I find cultured even amongst the casual,

People learned beyond my years based on principle rather than grit,

And from here I leave a better man knowing such may be an aspiration,

Of a nation.

Dimaethor Visaj choked on his wine at the beauty of the TRUTH expressed in the poetry as Timeo de la Baltas performed it live in the Haelun’or tavern.

[Axelu 4333]

Esme Dior takes pleasure in Timeo’s profound and truthful poetry, lips pinching into a warm smile as the artist’s piece unfurls. 

[Alexi_ 192]

Eléonore Josephine claps lightly at the performance of the poem, her mouth sighs of joyous splendor as she had the privilege of hearing it from his own voice “Exquis, as always, mon meilleur ami”
