Dragor-rix The War of
the Twelve Dragons.
For nigh on four hundred years the terrible war against the
Sept of Red ended with the fall of the Ancanthi and Jarrod the Red.
Two hundred and
thirty four years later, the bard Herodotus took a further twenty years to put
together his 52,000 line strophic poetic epic by sifting through the many
academic parchments of Rogan and Vallkyte scholars. Some were tales passed down
by word of mouth while others were first-hand accounts written by the priest of
the Rogal and Derma Ken present at the many battles that saturated this
disruptive period in history.
Below is a recounting of the last great battle of the Dragor-rix, Greentree, where Jarrod the
Red met Norin Cromme as he wielded the Dragonlance, Caphil, and where the great
warlord brought an end to the Acanthi horde.
Ironically, Herodotus took this poem from the Annals of
Almeria where the tithes of the Gardenal Shrine of the Oracle spoke of the
Acanthi Shako Shamans recounting of the battle in their native tongue.
Herodotus renamed it,
The Battle Woe.
The
Warlords raise their glasses to toast
Promising
to find the courage that once was lost
Reminiscing
with old scores to settle
Bring
about the flame that burns the metal
Watch
the talons score the shield
Warriors
conquered, yet never yield
Cries
without
Oh
the Battle Woe
The
dragons glide over their banquet hall
The
host quakes at their clarion call
One
defies the Lords of Flame
He
holds aloft that spear which bears his name
Grievously
wounding flesh and pride
He
renders them helpless enough to hide
Cries
without
Oh
the Battle Woe
Caphil
burns with anger and pain
The
slaughtered lie along the plain
Green
Tree Forest rips asunder
Elements
boil with glorious thunder
Norin
lifts the Dragonlance high
Show
them all their end is nigh
Cries
without
Oh
the Battle Woe
Oh
the Battle Woe
From
the Dragor-rix
By
Herodotus
