Description:
This song is a summary of many events and conflicts involving many characters in our fantasy world. The World Stone is the centre of the world, and thus is viewed as the place “where the world began”. Upon the World Stone was erected a fortress where all races had sanctuary and where they could meet in peace. This was tainted however, by dark forces who seized the tower and made it a dwelling place and breeding ground of evil, desecrating the dead found beneath its sacred wall in the catacombs. The “Watcher of the Keep”, a cyclops Ogre took residence in the keep and for years was too horrid a creature to be reckoned with. Other vile creatures filled the walls and layers of dungeons above and beneath the World Stone.

For clarity, there are 2 minotaurs in this chronicle: Korivar the good and Garkésh his evil brother. Garkésh has a lair wherein he allured the High King’s daughter the princess Tania to begin communicating with him through a forbidden means. She allows him access out of wrongful curiosity and when he opens a portal to his realm, she is lost. The High King discerns her whereabouts and immediately summons a champion of each race, to journey immediately to the World Stone, since each race will have unique power to fight against the forces of evil there. Only 5 of the races respond to the call: Man, Elf, Fairie, Dwarf, and Minotaur. The 6th hero joins the others after a fateful meeting at an inn.

Our heroes are a group comprised of Branjegar the Dwarf, Lord of Hammerdeep and descendent of Boic Bravesoul. He joins Korivar the Minotaur, journeying through the deep, passing through the Forbidden Gate of Boic to reach the lowest sanctuaries of evil, wherein resides Korivar’s evil brother Garkésh. On the surface journey Ahnmaron the human ranger from his forested home, the Elven Paladin Rythrael from his ivory city, Elwyn the Fairie from her mossy glade to the World Stone. As evening approaches, they all cross paths on a road close to an inn known to house Dwarven merchants. Inside is Oshrjad Bonebreaker who joins them after the events that occur there. He is thus the sixth “unchosen” champion.

There is more to be written, but perhaps another time…

We wrote the lyrics, composed, arranged, sang the piece.

Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Go to fight at the World Stone
Drive the watcher from the Keep
Save the maid bound in shadows
Face the demons of the deep

The High King summons one of every race
To save his daughter fallen from grace
The minotaur has bound her in sleep
In the dark beneath World Stone Keep

(Chorus)

Make again the Stone a haven
Cleanse the graves of heroes past
Claim the Chalice of Aedestra
Now the dawn shall come at last

For the heroes darkness grows forever deep
Underneath the catacombs of Worldstone Keep
Where the Dwarf and the Minotaur pass through the Gate
To vanquish now the brother who was lost to his fate.
And the fairie, the elf, the unchosen, and man,
Battle demons on stones where the world once began,
The High King’s daughter in peril, the six fight for her life,
In the minotaur’s lair where her blood stains the knife.

ELWYN: Korivar the Minotaur knew his brother’s lair
KORIVAR: Branjegar of Hammerdeep followed there
BRANJEGAR: Oshrjad the unchosen one, pledged himself to fight
OSHRJAD: Ahnmaron of all the men, fought with might
AHNMARON: Rythrael the Paladin, found the chalice gold,
RYTHRAEL : Elwyn of the Fairie-kind, the ogre’s foe,

Six in the Keep, Death in the Deep
And the fairie’s arrows fly at the Ogre’s blazing eye,
The Elf cuts through the great undead to claim the chalice of life
The man with brother axes and the Orc with halberd rude
Descend into the dungeons where the winged monsters brood
And they meet the Dwarf and Minotaur outside the evil one’s lair
Power flashing in splendor in the weapons that they bear,
Back to back in darkness, the six begin the fight,
The dungeon shakes, the dawning breaks the terror of the night.

And so they fight on the World Stone
Dead: the watcher of the Keep
Save the maid bound in shadows
Face the demons of the deep
Brandish now blades of power
Fell the Minotaur of death
Healing flows from the Chalice
Maiden, draw in living breath

Krummond mund coro volya
Drummond cor havar a vin
Korivar havat a klaysha
Garkesh tromguld morga din.

(Rough Translation)
There is war at the World Stone
The deep shudders with power
Korivar has slain his kin
The sepulcher of Garkesh is death
