Huge thanks to Tillydactyl who allowed me to make a cover of her poem. We wrote this song together last year but I never posted it (I’m so sorry). This song is dedicated to Alberic du Lac, a paladin played by Andustar who died following a duel against Azdromoth during the Apotheosis eventline.

Original Lyrics by Tilly:

 

[Wavey 2568]

In the rugged alpines of the westerlands, a lone Cardinal leads his horse by the reigns through the gates of Kretzen. Upon reaching the end of the walled and rustic city, he climbs atop his reliable steed to return south, back to his home. Whilst he did so, a certain tune came to his mind. A song he had heard not so long ago by the countryside of Petra. He began to hum the tune to pass the time amidst the long journey. A chuckle escaped his lips as the tune resonated within his mind. Who knew that a ballad regarding a Paladin would be quite so memorable? Alas, it was just music. And a good one in fact. Even as a man of the cloth, the Cardinal always enjoyed the wonders of good music; for regardless of its meaning, it gave him the needed warmth to continue his journey south to his homeland.
