SONG OF THE HORIZON WALKER
I was totin' my pack along the dusty Lamasara road,
When along came a wagon with a high an' canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Lamasara, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed up in the wagon and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"
[Chorus:]
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the deserts bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.
I've been to:
Fangwood, Barrowwood, Shrikewood, Azurestone,
Chitterwood, Shudderwood, Whisperwood, Whitethrone,
Absalom, Denebrum, Quantium, Woodsedge,
Sandpoint, Stark Point, Wolf Point, Pilgrimage,
Hammer Rock, Nisroch, Dravod Knock, Irrisen,
Belkzen, Drezen, Carpenden, now and then.
[Chorus]
I've been to:
Urgir, Elidir, The Miasmere, Orthost,
Katheer, Haugin's Ear, Al-Bashir, Hope Lost,

Dustpawn, Ridwan, Osirion, Mwangi,

[Chorus]
I've been to:
Lastwall, Winterwall, Canterwall, Pitax,
Viperwall, Nidal, Valenhall, Cheliax,
Redtooth, Tolguth, Whispertruth, Verspex,
Kibwe, Iadenveigh, Jalmeray, The Spire of Nex,
Kashang, Kokutang, Holvirgang, Diobel,
Blisterwell, Dwimovel, Castrovel, all is well.
[Chorus]
I've been to:
Magnimar, Mechitar, El-Fatar, Pezzak,

I heard the first verse in the voice of C W McCall.
Rest of it didn't scan as well. :-/
Sill, I liked that first verse a lot.

Compared to what? It's not like the song it's based on is strict on its meter and rhythm.
[Edit: Link added for those mythical folk who might not actually know what song I'm talking about.]
Comparing it to the inspiring song, it is OK. What I compared it to was the song I linked ... "Convoy".
Oh, and those mythical folk do exist. I know some of Cash's stuff, but that is not one I recall well. I do remember hearing it before, but not enough to make me realize it was your source.

I think you added up your favored terrain bonuses incorrectly. Each time you gain a new favored terrain you can select any ONE favored terrain to increase by an additional +2. You don't get +2 to all of them.
That, um, was part of my cunning plan to get people to post in my thread.
The Favored Terrain bonuses should all be +6, except water and all others stay at +4 and +2 respectively. [Every time a new favored terrain is added, add +2 to the previously-gained terrain.]
