song A dwarf writes a song of men; 'Oren's Land' by Ajax 'Belka's Quill' Frostbeard

[Jason of the North 202]

A series of pages are posted upon the taverns of Oren's capital of Vienne. A dwarf, clad in blue face paint and warm looking robes walked the land of the newer Harvest Confederacy, though rarely if ever spoke, and made strides to ensure that every tavern and meeting hall in the land was gifted a copy of the song. While the dwarf was younger, maybe a few years over 300, the papers he sported were signed by an Ajax 'Belka's Quill' Frostbeard, an ancient dwarf from the days of the Kaz'Ulrah revolution, and a known songwriter of the second age. anyone who would ask about the younger dwarf , would be told he is Bojakk, son of Ajax, and the courier of his songs and writings. He was tasked with  delivering the many copies of the song to all the people's of the nation that was once called Oren. The reason for doing all this was rarely if ever given, and murmurs and rumors were circulating through town. Was it an appeasement to the Man-folk that the old dwarf sought? was it a random act of kindness? Was it an appreciation for the depth of culture and history of Oren? Bojakk never replied to the inquiry, and not long after finishing delivering the texts to the various large houses and inns of the and, he vanished back south to the mountains ,and to the holds of Urguan.

Well, I wish I was in the land of glory
Old times there are a rich history
Look away, look away, look away, Oren's Land
In Oren's Land, where I was born in
Early on that Summer mornin'

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren

 

Ole Missus married "Cai the 'sader"
Caius was a zombie slayer
Look away, look away, look away Oren Land
And when he put up his guard around her
Looked as fierce as a dwed 40 pounder
Look away, look away, look away Oren Land

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren

 

His face was scarred like a block for a cleaver
but that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away, look away, look away Oren's Land
But Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man who couldn't save her heart

Look away, look away, look away, Oren's land

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren

 

Now Here's to the health of the next Ole Missus
An' all the gals that swoon to kisses
Look away, look away, look away Oren's Land
And if you want to drive away sorrow
Come and hear our bards tomorrow

Look away, look away, look away Oren's Land

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren

 

There's Honey sweet cakes and Norlan' batter
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away, look away, look away Oren's Land
Then hoe it down and kick up gravel
To Oren's Land you'll want to travel
Look away, look away, look away Oren's Land

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren

 

Well, I wish I was in the land of glory
Old times there are a rich history
Look away, look away, look away, Oren's Land
In Oren's Land, where I was born in
Early on that Summer mornin'

 

And I wish I was in Oren, Hooray! Hooray!
In Oren's Land I'll make my stand
To live and die in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
Away, away, away up North in Oren
