A  Ballad detailing the Redclyfian Defenders of Amaethea during the Mori Invasion

During the hard-fought siege defense in Amaethea against the Mori invaders, The knights of Redclyf were among the brave descendants who fought on the front rows of the walls. Although greatly outnumbered by both ally and foe, they put up a valiant resistance against the invaders as they attempted to scale the walls, mori being met with arrows, war hammers, swords, and cannonballs thrown at them. The Redclyfians were among the last to withdraw from the walls and Amaethea, having made sure their allies such as the elves and Uruks of the Iron Horde retreated beforehand. 

 

The Ballad has been written to commemorate their sacrifice, bravery, and defiance against death and impossible odds. It is played with drums, trumpets, violins, and flutes while the lyrics are sung from the perspective of a father to the brave warriors.

The lyrics of the Ballad:

 

Six of  my young lads stay at home

and hide the clear gold.

The other six in elven lands

put the swords to the test.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

They raised their yew longbows

high on the walls,

then they let a volley out

to the mori below.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

They fought upon the farmland walls

for 3 and 4 lady's hours,

The mori fell at Clearon's sword

like plants fall for a good scythe.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

They fought upon the farmland walls,

they were all full of wrath

the mori fell at Bjorn's warhammer

like the snow falling on fields.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

They fought upon the farmland walls,

tired were the redclyfian knights,

the moon could not shine bright

because of the mist of mori blood!

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

They are overwhelmed by the mori,

slowly backing up,

Then earth and stone shatter

as Bjorn calls out "Death before Dishonor!".

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

So far reached the inspiring words,

it resounded in the sheaths,

The knights threw themselves back into the fray,

held the mori off to let their allies flee.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

 

The knights fell back,

they board ships all soaked in red,

they have successfully defended their fleeing allies

and all the descendants fled.

They Ride out to Amaethea

with fine maidens on their saddles!

Fight the mori on the walls

Death before Dishonor!

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.

      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
