Poem Of the Valheru

Recommended Posts

Having just finished reading the Rift War Saga, by Raymond E Fiest, I felt inspired to write a ballad. Below is the first section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please tell me what you think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem of the Valheru

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon a devoid, lifeless land

 

 

 

Came a group of beings, soon to disband

 

 

 

The heated voices, loud and severe

 

 

 

Spoke of lore, long lost to the ear

 

 

 

Soon the group was to divide

 

 

 

Into those who walk and those who ride

 

 

 

Of those who ride, there was but one

 

 

 

The most unlikely, a woman.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of stunning beauty, unmatched in grace

 

 

 

The calmest, quickest of her race

 

 

 

She led those near, yet drew those remote

 

 

 

Closer to her neÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢er-ending dote

 

 

 

Her father, old and frail for his years

 

 

 

The long lost cause of major fears

 

 

 

Her father was but one nam̮̩̉̉d

 

 

 

The long lost Valheru, he once led.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those of the others, few knew lore,

 

 

 

Yet all doubted the end of war,

 

 

 

As they all knew to pursue,

 

 

 

The end of it, peace not undue.

 

 

 

Without purpose, they turned outlaws

 

 

 

Searching for a long lost cause,

 

 

 

To regain their position of masters kin

 

 

 

Their lord, the great Draken-Korin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thus the reason those saw true,

 

 

 

To break from the clutches of the new,

 

 

 

Order, Calm, both thrown aside,

 

 

 

To dream the dreams of those long died.

 

 

 

They gathered ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâround the forÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢st they knew,

 

 

 

Together they blossomed, yet never grew

 

 

 

Long lost powers, they solely dream̮̩̉̉d

 

 

 

The brotherhood had been misled.

Nice to see some people have good taste :D , if you havnt read the serpent war saga (barring Magician) its probably better than the riftwar i highly recomend it. As is the Mara trilogy, infact just read them all their great 8) . Oh and if you havnt yet, try playing the Betrayal at Krondor game (BAK) its freely downloadable in alot of places and is one of the original and best RPG's of all time, (by genral consent) you can download the zipped package with the 1.02 patch included from http://www.dimwood.net/ also any questions that can be asked about the game can be answered at
