The Legend of Lamlier
Ballad from the mouth of the great bard Fairwick
This Mortal Realm once pure and clean,
was home to beings fair.
Prime among them, one may glean
fleet Lamlier, of gifts rare.
To hear him sing and see him dance
could bring tears to a giant's eye.
He pleased all who happened a chance
to see him passing by.
O humble Lamlier, pure and free
was cursed beyond reproach.
The demon Lolth, that bitter queen
upon his joy she would encroach.
Myranna, the dark queen's favored one
was pure evil through and through.
She connived to steal Lamlier's greatest gift
her magic showed her true.
Poor Lamlier, upon the next morn,
arose to find his speech had gone.
Little time he had to mourn,
pursued Myranna through many dawns.
And so he ran with all his might
through forest dense and harm abound.
In his pursuit, he held Corellon's light
and Myranna was caught without a sound.
So Lamlier came and Lamlier fought
dark priestess of his god's worst foe
the fight was long and not for naught
Myranna defeated with a mighty blow.
His gift returned, Lamlier rejoiced
and called out to his god
great hymns of thanks did Lamlier voice
all who heard were truly awed
So ends the trial of this romantic
Though more great deeds he did
none greater than his rush so frantic
a hero, the forest dwellers bid
