Miriah - Halfling - Paladin
And here’s my first ever ~completed~ campaign PC...I love this girl so much, she did her job very well and got kinda a happily ever after? Also a bit of a bisexual disaster though romance didn’t play a part of her arc
How to Save a Life - The Frey Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Starting off with a bang, walking in on your husband getting murdered because you got caught up in the wrong business...well, “Some sort of window to your right//As he goes left, and you stay right//Between the lines of fear and blame//You begin to wonder why you came”
You Found Me - The Frey Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why'd you have to wait?
Hey, Frey’s got two on here! Miriah’s religious awakening wasn’t pretty. Grabbing the crystal from her alter was barely an afterthought, and it wasn’t something she even thought about until she was collapsed in an inn a hundred miles from home with blood still on her palms. But there’s light, there’s always going to be the light.
Everything’s Okay - Lenka Woke my weary head Crawled out of my bed And I said, "Oh, how do I go on?" Nothing's going right, shadow's took the light And I said, "Oh, how do I go on?" Sometimes I need a little sunshine And sometimes I need you
A big part of Miriah’s god’s deal is keeping your head up, moving forward, improving on yourself and redeeming yourself from your mistakes. Miriah is a vengeance paladin, with the only entity she needs vengeance upon being herself. “I just need someone to say everything’s okay” Miriah should really study her own doctrine closer, I like to think she does forgive herself, one day.
Cringe - Matt Maeson She said I'm looking like a bad man Smooth criminal She said my spirit doesn't move like it did before She said that I don't look like me no more no more I said I'm just tired She said you're just tired
This song is Miriah reflecting on what her husband would think if he could see her now, bounty hunting her way through a fucked up kingdom, worshipping in secret, throwing morals to the side when they aren’t convenient. Miriah was Chaotic Neutral for a while there, it was only talk of rebellion that really brought her back to “the world doesn’t have to be this way”. But “Do I make you cringe” indeed.
One of Those Days - Joy Williams It's all mine this kind the life of hurry up and wait Too many things to do, to lose it gets a little insane Too much crazy in 24 hours So many bills, too little frills, and not enough flowers What I wouldn't give for a minute to myself ...
So, you find the rebellion, convince them to let you in, plan, fail, and run from an assassination (not even, just the destruction of an object), spend a day covered in mud, “Hey ey ey ey//What can I say//It's just been one of those//One of those days” Miriah’s here to help, a little chaos never hurt. “It’s all going just so perfectly wrong.”
Wonders - S. J. Tucker There must be blood, and this I knew. Surely there can be wonders, too. I cannot leave the cages locked, or well enough alone. I can only be myself when I am so far from home.
Miriah was in this for the long haul. Once she sets her mind on something she sticks to it, and she’s got nothing else to do besides keep these kids alive and kickin’. Let’s lead a rebellion! The official campaign playlist has so many gems, but this fits with the mood of that trek through the castle and final battle.
