From father to son

#1 Post by Raithial »

My son, time has come for you to take up the spear.
The world is dangerous, and full of peril.
Trust not dwarves, for we have wronged them.
Trust not the orc, vile and eager for wanton destruction.
Trust not the Asrai, they only care for their woods,
and trust not the fading strength of men, benigh and corrupt.

Trust not the word of deamons and the pleading of the Druchii
Trust neither the promise of eternal life from Khemri or Sylvania, for they live not at all.
Trust not the blades of the Ogres, for they fight for the sake of it.
And neither should you trust the Lizardmen, for even we cannot see their ends, and their means are cruel to the world.

Trust not in large groups, for they are easily swayed on the battlefield.
Trust only your spear and shield, trust the man right to you for your shield, and entrust your shield to your left. They will keep you alive alone on the field of battle.
But most of all; thank the gods for this one chance to defend our lands from evil.

- A poem written by a Father to his son.

Good advice from a father, who's son is taking his turn in the Citizen Levy.

Solid advice. It reminds me of something in the wood elves army book.

However, it's not very poetic. Could you introduce some rhythm or otherwise make it flow better? Maybe a rhyming pattern, although they sometimes make you use weird words. Or does it sound poetic in elven? :lol:

"Eatainian jerks…" -Headshot
"It was a little ungentlemanly." -Aicanor (on the Eatainii)
"What is it with Eataini being blamed for everything?" -Aicanor

it probably sounds better in Tar-eltharin~ let's just keep it at that, since I'm no poetic guy... not by a long shot XD
