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. Several are not mentioned in this musical work. 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.

We want this to be family friendly:) 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
