Tiaran's Quest

A Ballad

Written by Occasional Anvilite

In days of yore, when stars aligned,
Tiaran, prince with valor refined,
Set forth to seek a treasure enshrined,
A chalice radiant, lore intertwined,
He ventured forth with fate entwined.

Through perilous paths, he did embark,
Braving the dark with a valiant spark,
To depths where shadows loomed stark,
With courage he strode, his oath to mark,
Tiaran pressed on, the abyss to hark.

Through trials dire and trials austere,
He sought the chalice, devoid of fear,
Encountering demons that did leer,
Yet his resolve remained clear,
Tiaran, stalwart, to the chalice drew near.

At the gates of hell, he stood upright,
Confronting Vel'Hamran, devoid of fright,
Bartering for the chalice's light,
A pact he struck in the dead of night,
Tiaran emerged, celestial might in sight.

With Chalice Encarmine, he soared high,
To realms above, 'neath azure sky,
Molded essence into beings never to die,
Angelic forms began to multiply,
Tiaran, creator, his victory was nigh.

In battle's heart on Veliandle Hill,
Angelic hosts charged with iron will,
Breaking the siege, victory to instill,
Much blood of the dark they did spill,
Tiaran's legacy, triumphant still.

And the tale, it sings in whispers long,
Of Tiaran, valiant, his spirit strong,
When demons rise, and shadows throng,
His legend echoes, a timeless song,
Tiaran, in memory, forever belongs.

Thus ends the lore, of deeds unknown,
Of a hero's journey, to realms unshown,
Tiaran's courage, his legacy sown,
In realms below and realms that shone,
Tiaran's tale, in eternity's zone.
