Bonus chapter: Literature of the kingdom Chapter 1
Awake
Oh beautiful world, so bright You can shine
The smell of Green, as old as time.
Oh beautiful word, so light You can feel
The free spirits roam Ye with ease.
Oh beautiful world, how terrible You are
Till I awake at the nights end.
Written by Marcus Faringhart in 1245.
The Sky
The Sky, how I long to be free.
Free as it's clouds and breeze- never chained, never pained.
On the world below, only there is no way
Walls suround us, monsters feed on us
And as the horses ride
The soliders fight
We ask, again and again
To be free as the Sky.
Written by Marcus Faringhart in 1248, one year after the southland invasions.
A Childrens Rhyme
Children, Children never let it see again. It stalks in the night, it feeds on your crimes.
Children, Children never let it speak again. It calls it self by a name, it says it causes no pain.
Children, Children never let it hear again. It laughs as you cry, it dances as you die.
Children, Children beware the monster in the dark, beaware the blond haired murderer, that calls it self a friend.

[...] "How can I, live in in this plight, oh gods tell me please. Have I not worked in your name? fought in your name? Killed and destroyed, in your name?" [...] "Why won't the world listen to me, to my woes, I have rid the world of evil, I stole from the thives, I killed the murderers, so why am I alone now, have I not done the right thing to rid the world of evil?"
Excerpt from the play "The Evil", written by Whilliam Beckster in 1233, first performed in 1255.
The Bright Star
The Bright Star has come, to light up the darkest days
He came from unknown lands, not even he knows where it lays
He gave our hearts his light, our mind filled with delight
As he fought the evil, taking root in our old knight
He fought the beast in the night, rid us of the blond haired blight
And shattered the God-shattering Star, that tried to take away our light.
It was the Bright Star, the holiest of them all, that stopped the evil
And gave us the peace for endless times.
Written by "Tilly", real name is unknown, in 1267.
