The Epic of Roland Dreares, as Told by a Bard

[thatkid]

(Will be edited as the tale unfold. The editor cannot be held responsible for any historical inaccuracies made by the bard.)Listen!
You have heard of the great sons of Vaikus,
of the days before the calamity,
warrior-kings and great nobles,
Berithor, the eldest son of Byron,
Slew many a would-be pretender
to the Imperium throne, and with
his great sword brought Vaikus to
victory in many a long and blood war.

Berithor had a son,
a child by his mistress,
sent by Dalia, Goddess of Fate,
to rule the people,
to keep them in place,
Reynold was his name;
he was famous
throughout the world.
He, who ruled so well,
had a son, gifted by
his mistress, and sent
by Dalia, Goddess of Fate,
to protect those governed
by Faritheal's Dark Tower,
Roland was his name;

On the thirty-third day after
the calamity, when the tower
took the village into the sky,
Roland and his band of faithful
men went down, at the behest
of a long-dead ghost, to slay the
monsters of Oakmore, and save
her beautiful daughter Nynath,
and her daughter, Ingrid, from
the dark magic of that place.
