Windsong Abbey's Poem


Return of the Runelords

Liberty's Edge

2 people marked this as a favorite.

While re-reading book 2 I realized that event 4 states that Viralane recites a poem that isn't provided to read for the players. I wanted to immerse my players in the moment of this and I looked up poems that could fit into this moment. I found a poem that matches Windsong Abbey pretty well, especially if your players (like my players) have aided in restoring the Abbey a bit.

Here is the first two verses of the poem:

WS Warner Oct 2011
Hollow

Static, memories
Emanating, separating
The postcard- perfect
Still life speaks
From its storied past.
Invisible, to drift
Among
The florid aphorisms,
Ending in
Deleterious debris,
Aftermath of
The inevitable.

Empty room, echo hollow
Tabula rasa -
Carpet clean, quite candid in it's
Return to callow.
Consciousness athirst,
Absorbing phenomena
Effervesce, inquisitive
Ideas foment,
Sealed inside a question.
The what -
Against the narrow
Scarcity,
And fatigue of should.
