Unsung Heroes - by Lady Crysania In the Beginning Yonder lands whence Oriental tales were sung Came heroes sworn upon the DragonLance Through smothering clouds of wars that stung For fame they sought - though death didst oft perchance. Amongst this fair assembly of all kinds A cleric of the white robes, CRYSANIA: Led by her faith and purest of all minds To rid the lands of evil and all fear. Her healing hands she laid on fatal wounds With prayers soothed the pain of poison'd claws Returning blessed light to blinded eyes Granting sanctuary 'pon valiant vows. She journeyed on through lands of darkest shades Joined in holy might with Valour's minions: Who brave all onslaughts with their smoking blades Unseaming limbs from gruesome purple worms. Shroud in mystery, bide the magicians Barely moving lips, murmuring cryptic spells, Hacking holes through scaly hides o'draconians Obliterating wi'freezing iceballs. In th'sneaking company of stealthy thieves Who cam'st behind New Thalos elite guards Smashing through with daggers carved in black wreaths Frozen smiles on faces still, strewn 'cross streets and yards. Coming of the Others In the heart of battle came the others: Skilled with th'use of steel from th'blacksmith's forge Paladins with modest healing knowledge; Druids bound to Nature's neutrality Throw deadly acid brews wi'fatality; Rangers possessing th'best of woodland lore Track enemies with keenest sense therefore; And bashing through with brute strength, th'barbarians Dull of mind - but ne'er wanting in valiance. They came forth in the first blush of the world Into the growing chaos of dragons: To banish evil in th'festering cold Though blessings come not from th'troubled heavens.
