+== Poem ==
+:In Drakomere corruption spread and festered the un-thought
+:Like Woe Striders who walked on legs as tall as Bugbear coarse
+:Or Shrieking Terrors ringed by ten heads where long necks then meld
+:To outstretched wings that pound and fly o’er frightened victims caught
+:A summons sent for heroes aid to find the ab’rrant source
+:Of monsters dark and horrid things named aberrations felled
+:The summons sent and heroes came, their number five was strong
+:A lizard man, two walking trees, one mighty and one wise
+:A shelled champion and a man that sung a mighty song
+:The heroes steeled at The College for the quest of their lives
+:The Ìqáalìe named Brax Tideprancer, tall with psychic blade
+:He swiftly moved and ducked and dodged so none could pin him down
+:His Chain of Boundless Mind empowers his blades of mental might
+:He braved the Citadel and now provides the quest with aid
+:And Jack the Angry Lumber strong, his waist by belts did crown
+:His cleaving strikes of woodish brawn engulfed his foe now flayed
+:The Treant hulked, his size was vast and fury filled his roots
+:To overpower and overcome the challenge that awaits
+:The third champion was Artham O’Carrick, with Halberd and his Flute
+:Sang mighty songs and cast his spells and with his Halberd braced
+:And Artham spoke his tales of old of legend and of hope
+:How other heroes braved this plight and broke the monsters cruel
+:Torcilyus shelled a tortle strong with family’s mighty sword
+:Could take on foes who’re twice his size like evil lycanthrope
+:His hulking shell could take all blows in any form of duel
+:His turtle form for those protected acted as a ward
+:And finally the fifth hero was Starbough Walking-Oak
+:Who grabbed celestial bodies bright and brought foes to defeat
+:His own Night-Sky did shimmer bright even when they awoke
+:And guided like a map of light on glowing magic sheet
+:They sailed through sea to the land Twin-Shards, made up of fire and cold
+:The group then docked at Blazing Dunes, traversing Frostburnt Hills
+:And traveled over Shadow Tundra to port in east Drakion
+:From there they sailed through the Chaos to find Soul-Well old
+:And now they stand at ancient hole preparing all their skills
+:To venture through the Catacomb now ab’rrant dominion
+:The heroes now descend through dark with Starbough’s light to guide
+:And Artham plays a tune of strength to bolster courage strong
+:With Jack and Torcilyus up front now looking side to side
+:And Brax steeling his psychic blades to slay the monstrous throng
+:The heroes came to Soul of World where the three Dragons made
+:This world that we call Drakomere with each one’s unique gift
+:First Bahumat the Platinum Father, holding up hist’ry
+:And too guarded creative souls for all that they displayed
+:And Second Tiamat the bold with retribution swift
+:Her justice met all wicked ones that from all goodness strayed
+:Third Sardior the Ruby Counsel, wise and playful drake
+:He values wit and clever thought in all that he creates
+:The heroes stood and saw their foe its writhing flesh did wake
+:They steeled once more, one final time, they knew its doom awaits
+:The Power of Creation flowed now through the heroes veins
+:Improving all their race’s gifts and helping in battle
+:Artham O’Carrick, Bard of Old now filled with will of men
+:Could influence both friend and foe without hindering strains
+:The Treants grew and hardened bark so none could, them rattle
+:No fire nor axe could break their trunk or bring harm e’re again
+:Torcilyus’ shell grew thick and strong and held against all blows
+:Making him fight without falter into the wicked night
+:And Brax the mind breaker ancient improved his deadly throws
+:His blades now sharper than before his foes now greatest plight
+:The five then charged now ringed with pow’r to fight the monstrous beast
+:The monster struck first in the fray, it psychically lashed out
+:The Bard was struck, with faltering breath he faintly played his flute
+:And swarms of flaming boulders fell caused by his pow’r released
+:Then Brax threw one, two, three blades true as Lizard went all out
+:And Jack began to scream and swing like massive Treant brute.
+:The monster blinked and shifted space to bite the ìqáalèe
+:So Torcilyus struck four times true so dealt it mortal wounds
+:And Starbough changed the gravity for writhing mass provoked
+:The Beast then fell and grew and shrank and melded to cocoons
+:The writhing mass exploded out it’s size had been increased
+:It’s monstrous pow’r now doubly strong shot orbs of psychic pain
+:And struck the minds of Jack and Brax and Starbough bright
+:So Artham spoke his words of pow’r and held the monster leashed
+:And Torcilyus struck blow on blow with mighty sword arcane
+:Brax then flung more psychic knives causing beast its plight
+:Then Starbough spread his astral leaves and healed heroes’ pain
+:While Torcilyus and Jack both hacked away at foe undone
+:The Monster shook and gave a wail, it’s fight had been in vain
+:The Beast was dead, Incursion purged, the heroes, they had won
+:The world returned to normalcy, and Twenty-Ninth Age begun
+:Now Brax began to teach his own craft to aspiring folk
+:And Jack hunted all monsters though eventually he fell
+:Starbough grew and stretched to sky, Lūnarē he had sprung
+:And Torcilyus then trained his child to keep his lineage cloak
+:And Artham died to guard Caloro against Faethon fel
+:For as is said in Ballad Artham, which tells of his fall
+:Our heroes names fade into legend and become a lyric
+:But those verses can guide new heroes to answer the call
+:And that’s the tale of heroes old which now is a true epic
+== Background Lore ==
