And I decided to try to sort through all my character sheets (for lvl 1 characters) and right a short backstory for each. One of them caught a little more attention than the rest: Dorry Chorach (welsh for "dwarf smash"), a barbarian dwarf that I've beent thinking about. So I decided to write a song about him as a backstory. And know I'm looking for a tune-preferably a "drinking song" type of thing. Well, here is the chorus (and 4 verses) and if anyone has any verse ideas (the verses MUST rhyme) I would love to hear them.
Dorri Chorrach
Corus:
“Dorri Chorach, the angry dwarf
Was said to be born
In a storm
On a warf
Always angry, all the time
He would never have the patience to listen to my rhyme
And of his life would always say,
“I wish I could simply smash all day”
Verse 1:
His parents never did know what to do
When the babe’s smashy moods
Made him smash away in his foods
Made them black & blue
Verse 2:
So they sent him away to their uncle dear
A man who was so very austere
But of this child, the man knew not what make
He left naught but destruction in his wake
Verse 3:
So he sent him to his cousin (twice removed)
A wild man of whom he disapproved
In the cousin Dorri found
A mentor, reliable as the ground
Verse 4:
But when a dragon took his mentor away
Dorri truly knew not what to say
So he left to find some other lands
Where he might use his furious hands.”
Pretty cool; I can see that being sung by Bards and Skalds in taverns after he starts to make a name for himself.
