Aetheldreda has been spending some time in the Commonwealth... until she hears that Sermersuaq is under seige. She arrives home to the news that the whole territory has been lost to Barbarians. This song serves to honour those who fell during this time.

Lyrics:

I heard the news on a wave
Those I once loved sent to their grave
We mourn for them but they’ll be born anew
Spirits return on the strength of virtue

They fought with courage
Heroes of the Mark
We shall honour them
Heroes of the Mark

I journeyed out into the unknown
But now I return once more to my home
We have so much to save
The birds sing out, wise, cunning and brave

Their legacy lives on
Heroes of the Mark
We shall honour them
Heroes of the Mark

They fought with courage
Heroes of the Mark
We shall honour them
Heroes of the Mark

We lay your bones now
Heroes of the Mark
Sleep in Kallavesa
Heroes of the Mark

Heroes of the Mark

Heroes Of The Mark

Lyrics:

I was… drinking in Anvil, and I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a handsome Steinr, and I’d gladly tie the knots
He could earn a name for his kissing game, so someone tell the scops

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met an Urizeni, who had a smile bright
She let me take her by the hand, and she showed me the light

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a shining Freeborn like I’d never seen before
To lie with him and touch his skin I’d gladly go to war

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Marcher farmhand, pouring seeds into a trough
Our clothes were like potatoes; we peeled those things right off

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a fine Navarri, whose face was fresh with scars
His smile was sweet and his words were too and he had a lovely arse

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Dawnish Yeoman, who made a toast to glory
And so we drank and so we danced and it made me rather horny

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a fancy Leaguer, with a taste for the fine things
And so we went into his tent and he showed me his ring

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met an Orcish shaman, who really was a wonder
And when we bounced into the bed it was louder than the thunder

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a Highborn priest in the imperial synod
He gave me quite the anointing when he touched me with his rod

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I met a stern Varushkan, who was full of mystery
After a shot or two we were in the loo where she revealed herself to me

Drinking in Anvil, I saw a lovely sight
I wanted more of the sight I saw, and it kept me up all night

I got so drunk in Anvil, so drunk that I was blind
But I can still remember, that I had a lovely time

Up All Night (Drinking Song)
