The Bone Lord A Consequences of Karrnath ballad by me. Lyrics under the cut.
The Bone Lord began as a Khoravar maid
She had fire in her heart and light in her brain
She went off to war to take her brother’s place
And the Bone Lord began as a Khoravar maid
By Odakyr Rites the Bone Lord was made
Runes on their skull covered by an iron plate
A demon to bind their soul and bones in place
And by Odakyr Rites the Bone Lord was made
So goes the tale of Dagne
Killed by those they fought for
The Chamber sought the Bone Lord of fate
A white dragon told of a Shadow Sword to slay
Memories locked and the demon displaced
And the Chamber sought the Bone Lord of fate
The Bone Lord fought for Karrnath great
Under a commander beloved and inhumane
Their poleaxe stuck down innocents as well as Thranes
And the Bone Lord fought for Karrnath great
So goes the tale of Dagne
Made to kill the Shadow Sword
The Mourning shocked the Bone Lord’s loyal faith
Stealing the commander’s arms they stole away
Discovered by a guide of the Seeker way
And the Mourning shocked the Bone Lord’s loyal faith
The Bone Lord’s power grew then every day
Resolve and an oath bound them to their place
“Protect the living,” they swore to undertake
And the Bone Lord’s power grew then every day
So goes the tale of Dagne
Martyr of the Blood of Vol
Soon the Bone Lord found followers to gain
The Deathguard, the traveler, and the Whisperer obeyed
But the Child of Winter left them in dismay
And soon the Bone Lord found followers to gain
The Bone Lord gave a man another way
Their mercy extended, he took the break
Freed from emerald tyranny, their brother he became
And the Bone Lord gave a man another way
So goes the tale of Dagne
Their heart a righteous force
Against their mission the Bone Lord strained
Their guide saw their compassion in the way
Only the Seekers they ought to save
And against their mission the Bone Lord strained
The Bone Lord fought to keep the child safe
Against the Prince of Slime and its wicked aim
Rebuked the Killing Cold and held Nux in embrace
And the Bone Lord fought to keep the child safe
So goes the tale of Dagne
Leader against commander’s mold
The prodigy sought to see the Bone Lord slain
Red Watcher in bright armor, siege staves arrayed
Yet too key to fall, Chamber came to extricate
And the prodigy sought to see the Bone Lord slain
Within the Bone Lord’s heart something crucial changed
For love of an Aereni they turned away
From monarch, and country, and even faith
And within the Bone Lord’s heart something crucial changed
So goes the tale of Dagne
As they grew to something more
In the city of towers, the Bone Lord was reshaped
Memories returned, their old self integrate
And they swore their name was always their name
In the city of towers, the Bone Lord was reshaped
The Bone Lord was seized by Mabaran wraiths
The demon within them brought to the face
It was the King whose lead the demons craved
And the Bone Lord was seized by Mabaran wraiths
So goes the tale of Dagne
And the Bone King their soul bore
The Bone Lord was used for dark power’s aims
Slew the wizard who sought to make them pay
But then laid low by those guided by the Flame
And the Bone Lord was used for dark power’s aims
The child sought to see the Bone Lord saved
Reached into their mind, hope set ablaze
Catalyzed the fight, the King was overcame
And the child sought to see the Bone Lord saved
So goes the tale of Dagne
Who saved their own savior
Temptation came to break the Bone Lord’s fate
For the child’s soul, their weapon they did trade
But Saraskha failed to be their virtue’s bane
And temptation came to break the Bone Lord’s fate
The Bone Lord’s purpose did reinvigorate
Even without their weapon, they would undertake
The purpose that Eberron saw fit to allocate
And the Bone Lord’s purpose did reinvigorate
So goes the tale of Dagne
Now accepting of their role
Once more the monarch called the Bone Lord to obey
Bloodsucker he was, but refused that state
That amulet could his life rejuvenate
And once more the monarch called the Bone Lord to obey
So the Bone Lord finally the prodigy faced
Struck her down in combat, that amulet gained
Cried out in bloody grief as her soul escaped
And so the Bone Lord finally the prodigy faced
So goes the tale of Dagne
For Kaius they killed once more
To wed the blind ranger, the Bone Lord prayed
A covenant in blood, a promise was made
To Vaeren they’d be joined, souls affiliate
And to wed the blind ranger, the Bone Lord prayed
The Bone Lord slew Mordakesh, destiny sate
His demonglass heart was all that remained
“Let’s never fight again,” all they did say
And the Bone Lord slew Mordakesh, destiny sate
So goes the tale of Dagne
Great, victorious, but worn
So goes the tale of Dagne
Skeletal paladin of war
So goes the tale of Dagne
Hoping for peace forevermore
