THE FINDING
(Tune: March of Cambreadth)
Hark! the ground beneath us shakes;
Caer Laleldan quails and quakes.
Valorn's folk are filled with fear;
clerics say the end is near.
What can sink that castle strong?
Valorn's King is gone too long.
What can save those walls of stone?
Find the heir to Valorn's throne!
Hear the words the clerics speak;
'tis the heir that we must seek.
Read the parchments, find the key:
Where can Valorn's ruler be?
All that prophet's dreams can tell,
hearts of heroes know full well --
Valorn cannot stand alone:
Find the heir to Valorn's throne!
Hear the word of Iron Knight:
Heir is hidden, plain in sight.
Knight Cordelia, Deek's own child,
seeking solace in the wild.
If she knew of Valorn's need,
she would take the throne indeed.
Let the word to her be known:
Find the heir to Valorn's throne!
Seek her high and seek her low,
Valorn's heroes swiftly go.
Mountain, cavern, tomb and plain,
Seek her through the whole domain.
Now the word the High Queen hears --
now returns to sounds of cheers --
proudly comes to claim her own:
Valorn's Queen ascends her throne!
