Countrymen! Fellow Pathfinders!
In the interest of uplifting the spirits of fellow Pathfinders, I propose that all of you who have musical ability even in the slightest, suggest or even make your own thememusic for your faction! And, if possible, a story of how it came to be.
It is my honor to make the first entry, for that is what Taldor, The Past and Future Kingdom of Golarion, truly deserves!
Before I make the entry I'll tell the story part. See, I'm no Bard. But I do have some skill with the quill. I made a grand poem which describes Taldor in a very realistic way and also hints to the grandiose future our beloved country has ahead. And it only took 12 pints of fine Varisian ale to get it done..
Immediately after its birth I wanted to convert this poem in to musical masterpiece. And boy, was I in luck! I ran into (literally, when I tried to get into the toilet asap, damn ale comes straight through..) a group of bards!
These four hailed from The Realms of The Mammoth Lords (they wore a lot of leather and fur) and they got the right attitude - they told me they were "Fighting the World" with their music! They called themselves War o' Man (Silly name, they agreed, but it was a work in progress). We talked and drank over and I introduced my piece. They got electrified and started to work on the song rightaway! And after a few hours and considerably more drinks, it was done! When we parted ways we agreed to meet on the following evening in the same place. They would rehearse the song (now named "Taldan Warriors") and play it then.
Then, next evening, when they were about to play the song, they told me they had to make some changes to it. This was outrageous! Unaccepetable! Unfortunately, there was four of them and I was alone, so I had to agree to their changes after a black eye and a sore knee. Also, they were very strong which made me to think that maybe they were Fighters afterall? Anyway, they performed the song and it went well. Even with the.. minor adjustments.
You can listen the revamped version of the song here.
But before you do, please take note of the ORIGINAL lyrics of the song, which I have produced below. And when you listen to it, sing along with the original lyrics, to get into the right mood! And then.. submit your own themesong!
Taldan Warriors
Every one of us has heard the call
Brothers of true Taldor
proud and standing tall
We know the power within us has brought us to this hall
There's magic in the Taldor there's magic in us all
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and posers leave Absalom
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and posers go on get out
Leave Absalom
Now the world must listen to our decree
We don't turn down for anyone we do just what we please
Got to make it louder, all men play on ten
If you're not into Taldor
you are not my friend
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and posers leave Absalom
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and and posers I said
Leave Absalom
Now the world must listen to our decree
We don't turn down for anyone we do just what we please
Got to make it louder, all men play on ten
If you're not into Taldor, you are not my friend
There's Taldor in Absalom tonite, can you hear it call
If you ain't got the balls to take it you can
Leave Absalom
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and posers leave Absalom
Heavy Taldor or no Taldor at all whimps and posers leave Absalom
