The Bird Tribes

Make well the sick, little heron

Watch over the trees with which you live

Due not strike another with murderous intent

For you are embodiments of serenity

To do other will strike your core and shatter you

Destroy you

111

For sword and shield you have the hawks

Noble guardians, rulers of the sky

They shall protect you

Strike out at those whom would strike you

Shield you from the world's cruel kiss

But only against obvious foes

111

For concealed threats you have the ravens

Cunning let's them see true

Where they hawks nobility will blind them

Raven's resolve will guide them through

Do not think them cowards, backstabbers

For theirs is a special brand of courage

Beast Tribes

Be watchful of the world mighty lion

Powerful and commanding

You bring together armies of the earth

Bind a nation together

But do not forget there is much you do not see

Listen to your vassals, for they shall aid you.

111

By your side shall be the tigers

Strong and wise

They see wrong and right

But still they will fight

For they are loyal

And seek to protect their own

111

At your heel shall be the cats

Swift and clever

They see the bends of the rules

They see diversity among absolutes

They know nothing is black and white

For there are always exceptions

111

Do not forget the wild wolves

Proud and Loyal

They remain separate from the rest

Strong willed and independent

To those they owe fealty,

They will follow even to death's door

Dragon Tribes

Black Dragons, prideful royalty

You wish for peace

Yet your actions promote war

Inaction in the face of evil is not neutrality

You are not omnipotent

Look to the other dragons for true wisdom

111

White Dragons, compassionate guardians

You know neutrality is not the way

Though you hold your own above the rest

To betray other's trust to aid your blood

You are the ravens of dragons

You have a different kind of courage

111

Red Dragons, fallen loyalty

You sought to obey your king

But in the end you suffered

Through no fault of yours is your fate

Black's foolery led to it

Pawn's in a fool's game
