I have no idea what actually happened, could someone explain briefly? Otherwise it's quite hard to write about...

A poem on peace... in honor of the talks between Ethucan and Valorn.
Not about them.

Is this correct Ansalan?
--- There is only one truth, but many views of it.

But it is all right (in fact I would think it would be essential) to at least refer to the High Queen, the Empress, Ethucan, etc. while writing this work?

(And people who haven't been keeping up with the news could inquire IC?)

This is not really related to the events, but rather the general story of Valorn. But it is related to peace *grins*.

Here goes:

Green forests, full of magic,
Lakes, and rivers crystal clear,
Castles and cities with walls so thick,
That the people know no fear.

Above me, in warm, sweet summer air,
A single Dove does fly,
It knows no strain, no care,
And I watch it fly on by.

Us Valornians, far below,
Drinking and singing songs,
Not always training like we should be,
But doing nothing wrong.

Then one day, the calmness gone,
Forcing brave Valornian lords,
To rush around and find some men,
To deal with Balthazar's nearing hords.

Blood and terror fills the land,
That once no terror knew.
Pirates landing on our sand,
With an evil, fearless crew.

Creatures feasting on human flesh,
Demons turning once green forests gray,
Brave men dying everywhere,
Can we still drive them away?

I look around and despite sadness,
There's still some hope in every eye.
I turn my face up to the heavens,
And to our gods I cry.

And to my feet, from that poor dead dove,
Falls a single, snow white feather,
Reminding us to strive for love,
And fight for peace together.

In honor of the peace talks, I scribbled a little haiku. I hope you like it. :D

Two lands, divide and unite.
Beautiful lands, rulers, people.
Rulers meet, hope springs.

*smiles* and this one is mine... Luna Ambrose Char # 77708


The wind whispers softly in my ear
speaking tales of times gone past
saying soothing words only I can hear
now that peace has come...at last.

for all adventurers young and old
I always prayed this dream would come true
that stories of peace should now be told
and happiness abound in all that we do.

with each and every waking breath
and every day, shining in glory
with no more talk of war and death
and a happy ending to every story.

If I should breathe my last breath today
or my heart should cease to beat
my life will end in a happy way
beacause peace came without defeat.
May all the Universe Sparkle for YOU!

Alright, a poem of peace, as I don't really know what happened in the event:

In the land of Valorn,
We suffered and prayed,
That someday peace will come,
And evil be laid
To die and to perish,
And to never again return -
And now we can say,
It is finally our turn,
To feel hope and peace,
For now until once again, evil strikes.

Bare trees claw at the sky,
raking the blue with taloned limbs.
Frozen, frigid, the peace stays
still and sharply edged.

Crack, crash, and splintering,
the white ice loosens its harsh grip.
Unsteady, muddy the ground thaws
soft and indistinct.

Pushing, encroaching, the vines grow
twining around each other -
green mutual support.
Spring peace grows

I am posting this for Lord Legion, He posted it in the Just guild Forum, which is my guild but I wanted it to be seen and judged here !

**Legion clear their throat**

We are Legion!! This is our poem!

in the depths and in the dark
our path was formed
with anger and blood
the war fire warmed

the battles they raged
and combatants they fell
but we were not mindful
which was just as well

but then one day
there came a call
we must stop warring
before we fall

the idea at first
was so distressing
for the way we trained
was war without blessing

but now we see
that the only way
to save us all
is with peace today

today, tomorrow
and all the rest
if we can find a way
we can pass the test

see anyone can fight
just pick up a stick
but to win without violence
that is the trick

like berries and fruits
and birds in the trees
just living life
one filled with ease

that is the way
to spread good will
if we do not do it
we don't know who will

it must start somewhere
so why not here
and no, not later
not next year

it must start now
with no delay
find the peace in your heart
and give it away

share with your brothers
and sisters too
they'll follow in the steps
of what you do

spread the word
high and low
peace is near
and it's the way to go

swords into plowshares
staffs into poles
wave the flag
of the peaceful souls

the space in your heart
the one filled with hate
it must relent
it must abate

start with yourself
the only one who can
bring the peace
to this troubled land.


**Legion look up from their parchment**

We are Legion!! Our poem is finished!!

*clears throat*

A clash of cultures, of thrones, of steel,
War
A misspoken word, a miscommunication, a misunderstanding,
Confusion
A yearning, an unrequited love, a jealousy
Turmoil
A rise of voices, a dispute, a broken home
Discord
An unremitting thought, a disquiet mind, an obsession
Frustration
A dread, an encroaching evil, an impending doom
Fear

Open minds, disposal of arms, an olive branch
Truce
An explanation, a clarification, an understanding,
Forgiveness
An acceptance, a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to lean on,
Solace
Apologies, open arms, expressions of love,
Harmony
A gentle stroll, a meditation, a release
Relief
Defiance, a united front, a thread of hope,
Courage

A myriad of peace…
