Jason of the North 202 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Ajax Frostbeard, adopted son of Verthaik II, reunited in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan sat in a small cubby, inspired with his return to live with his kin and hearing of a recent drive to bolster the Kingdom's legion, composed a song for the brave legionnaires. Taking a fair amount of time and rewriting to get the meter right, as he is not traditionally a minstrel or writer, finally completes his work in the 15th of Sun's Smile. Year 8 of the Second age, having spent approximately 3 days on it. Excitedly the Dwarf both submits a copy to the remembrancers and one he nails to the doors of the tavern.

My family fer generations, fought for nation fair. They fought for all the hills and plains like Khazad Legionnaires. Then Raise Hammer of Yemekar, his flame it doth do flare We'll fight and fall all for the holme, like Khazad Legionnaires. Then Raise Hammer of Yemekar, his flame it doth do flare We'll fight and fall all for the holme, like Khazad Legionnaires. When enemy came at our gates, them men with swords in hand, I dawned me plate and clutched me blade, set to save our land. Twas bound by oath and honor to defend what I love dear I'll stick their heads upon my pike, like a Khazad Legionnaire Then Raise Hammer of Yemekar, his flame it doth do flares We'll fight and fall all for the holme, like Khazad Legionnaires. Then Raise Hammer of Yemekar, his flame it doth do flares We'll fight and fall all for the holme, like Khazad Legionnaires. Now when muddy boots of oren had commenced to warring sail, I quickly laid down my pick, to the devil went me pale To the recruiting officer I went, I combed and cut my hair, and joined the good dwedmar boys in the Khazad Legionnaire Then fill the ranks, and march away, No humans do compare! We'll drive them all to slaughter, says the Khazad Legionnaire Then fill the ranks, and march away, No humans do compare! We'll drive them all to slaughter, says the Khazad Legionnaire When the Knife-eared prince came o'er, and made hullabaloo Oh, everybody was turned-out in silk and jewels too; But the good old Urguans boys did not give a single care Their heart is held by elected kings, like Khazad Legionnaire We Love our land of steel and stone, King Norli we do swear, You're the only king within our hearts, says the Khazad Legionnaire We Love our land of steel and stone, King Norli we do swear, You're the only king within our hearts, says the Khazad Legionnaire Now if ol' Oren in the north should ever come ashore We'll stack their bodies like timber, like many years before. Well hang em all with nooses slung below their shite chin hairs made strong as steel with mushroom silk, by Khazad Legionnaires Then Here's to Marshall Durorn, whom the legion he prepares He'll lead us onto victory, the Khazad Legionnaires Then Here's to Marshall Durorn, whom the legion he prepares He'll lead us onto victory, the Khazad Legionnaires Now fill your tankards up, me boys, a toast and drink with me May the Banner of ol Urguan, wave high and forever be May Oren QUake, and Knife ears shake, and nary ever dares; To ever foolishly bare a blade, against Khazad Legionnaires Godss Bless blood of all Dwedmar,Mountain holme you bare Narvak Oz Yol'Kazamar, Shout the Khazad Legionnaire Godss Bless blood of all Dwedmar,Mountain holme you bare Narvak Oz Yol'Kazamar, Shout the Khazad Legionnaire Edited January 25, 2021 by Ajax Frostbeard Spelling error >~< 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
