A Call to Arms

Introduction: Therrilliar wrote this song during the Teiro War scare, when folks were scared by the Mirror Wraith prophecies and that Teiro was going to raise an army and attack the provinces.

Later, the song was used by her to rally folks against the Gorbesh.


Hearken all ye who hear my song
and the cadence of my voice
now is the time to be true and strong
the time to make a choice

For darkling foes have risen up
to assault our homes and kin
upon our bones they deign to sup
and so does war begin

So let us drop our petty fights
and join in force as one
to take up arms, defend our rights
and live to see the new day's sun

Come warriors with blades of steel
Come mages with enchants
Come priests with blessings of weal
Come skalds with inspiring cants

Come rangers with their deadly bows
Come traders with supplies
Come scouts to spy upon our foes
Come 'paths to quell the injureds' cries

Though the hordes of hell us assail
they shall break upon our walls
and united shall we prevail
if you heed my song's true calls

Gods give us strength of arm
and the wit to wield it true
though some shall suffer grievous harm
victorious we shall come through

So raise your voices in loud cheer
let your cry be heard throughout the land
let even the enemy himself it hear
and know we strike with a single hand.......

Long live Elanthia!!
