The Undying Queen
Every child has heard the tales
of the time after the fall.
The darkest days our world has seen
when mankind was made to crawl
o're the corpse of a rotting earth;
a fate of our making.
We were but ravenous beasts,
heedless of what we were forsaking.The earth trembled and shook.
Waters devoured the land.
Plagues ravaged the weak and weary;
our judgment day at hand.
Yet from these horrors arose
a stronger race of man.
Legends in the making;
the fierce and loyal Wolf Clan.Eskarne, their warrior queen
founded this great nation.
The descendants of survivors,
stronger with each generation
Her lands prosperous and plentiful,
her people proud and true
built her a grand tomb,
a tower of stone with the most glorious view.They say she watches o're us all.
Her next life to be in our time of need.
Our queen, born again to save her people
once more from the ravages of greed.Esckarne watches o're us all
to be reborn in our time of greatest need.
