Horns sound in the forest.
Hear the Call to Battle!
Summoning all to fight
Defend the Forest's Heart!
Enemies ambushing
with fell fire and acid,
spears and nets raining down
Their vile poisoned arrows
lend fear to bravest hearts
"Look to the trees!" they cry
Unicorns and riders
dodging enemy attacks
as Elven Knights take aim.
Bring down the Shadowed Elves!
They would break our spirits!
Some fall by Elven darts,
yet hundreds are revealed.
They strike at the weak point
where numbers are smallest
Heart of the Elven Realm:
Ysterialpoerin.
Smoke rises from its trees
The smell of burning wood
is heavy on the wind.
Shadowed Elves everywhere
Swarming the unicorns
those who are harmed by the
presence of the unchaste.
All must skirmish on foot
for the Enemies' clubs
crush bones and mangle flesh
Loyal mounts refusing
to leave their friends and flee.
While all around, trees burn,
a blazing inferno
devours the ancient forest.
While overhead a scout flies
Elven Mage and dragon
see the smoke of battle
rising from the city.
A storm lies to the west
Enraged, he reaches out
and calls forth the blizzard
to extinguish the flames
and help the warriors
to overcome the foe.
With blood and shattered horns
and the deaths of many,
the Forest's Heart was saved.
