>I followed the sunset to the West
>From Seawinds to the Citadel.
>Leg Aus sent its very best
>To fight Estrella's dusty hell.
>
>With Northern Outland allies joined
>Our ranks then swelled with warriors true.
>Malgwyn paid with silver coin
>The Legion paid with salt and food.
>
>Thirteen scouts went to the field
>To count the desert dwelling foe,
>And when they all refused to yield,
>Unto Valhalla they did go.
>
>Our host arrived, surveyed the scene
>Of blood and sand all mixed with gore.
>We saw we were outnumbered then
>By something like eleven score.   (Pretty good counting for a  Norseman)
>
>Artemesian allies by our side,
>They charged the foeman with no fear,
>But sadly to a man they died
>Skewered on Caidian spears.
>
>Aetenveldter's ranks of might
>Then threw themselves upon our shields.
>Orkneys with their armor bright
>Sought to drive us from these fields.
>
>The Huns they fought with all their might
>To hold our flank and stem the tide.
>But Freya saw a bloody sight
>As Aeten foemen crushed our side.
>
>Calantiri warriors brave and strong
>Fought with skill and bloody hunger,
>But wound up singing their own death song
>So badly were we all outnumbered.
>
>As if encircled by the tide
>The sable star Crown fought brave and true.
>Ansteorran heroes by his side
>Many a foeman they then slew.
>
>Their numbers were great and ours much less,
>Though we sent scores to a bloody hell.
>Our lines were broke in a final press
>And in the end our banners fell.
>
>"Rise up!" the valkyrie maidens did cry.
>"We saw how valiant you warriors did fall"
>"Climb up on our mounts and away we will fly"
>"Come with us now to Odin's hall"
>
>Seawinds war-wagon on the sunset road,
>DEATH to our western foes.
>And this is the song the wheelman sings,
>
>As to Estrella War we go.
>
>
>
>(now, you should really take those alkaselters I mentioned)
>Sorry, Seawinds!!!
