Songsmiths of Sosaria Concert

PaxLair, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – August 29, 1998 – by Winfield — The Songsmiths of Sosaria played a wonderful concert in PaxLair Saturday night for over an hour. More than forty people attended the concert where the Songsmiths Cherveny, Jhym, and Rhagbard Tramont and our own PaxLair Bard Dejen delighted the audience with many a song and tale. The concert was held in front of Luigi’s Pizzaria in PaxLair.

Barratus the Necromancer
Sung by Cherveny

Now, much has been said about this one
about how he is a foul fiend.
I say look again! What does he seek done?
Then you can act, if there is the need.

Two necromancers in Love, Barratus and Shara Crene
given power by the foul magics for evil deeds.
But their thoughts turned to that of the good and clean,
thus they were harvested as if they were reeds.

Barratus found a way back to the living,
then sought a way to bring back his wife.
Alas all he found were people most unforgiving
and people who sought after his life.

To retireve items he needed he quested
to revive his beloved from the grave his only goal.
But everywhere he turned, he found himself bested
thus found himself taking on a new role.

If all were against him, he would attack the world,
no pity had they shown him, why should he pity them?
But deep inside, a flame of goodness is still interred
but how can one help the good, and yet the evil, stem.

Some noble questors found the bones of Shara, his beloved
and seeked to sue them to summon the dark mage.
Will he come to reclaim the bones of his wife, most coveted?
Or will his hand once more be turned to rage?

*Plays a Final Cadence*

The Orcs
Sung by Dejen

Twas a cold and dark night
The orcs came looking for a fight.
They saw our numbers and ran away
To attack another day.

We didnt wait nor hesitate
To attack the place where they lie in wait.
When we arrived at the place
We where suprised–they didn’t show their face.

When we found the orcish fort
They laughed at us with a snort.
They denied what we said
Even threatened to take off a head.

We stood our ground, did not give in
A new courage was found within.
We a slew an orcish guard.
He died quite quick nor was he hard.

After that we did return
For our home we did yearn
So here we are back in Pax
A wonderful place to relax.

We thank the bards and the audience for a fantastic concert. An encore performance will hopefully be scheduled in the near future.
