Glorious defender's of Tyr,
Heroic champions of the Light,
We were all these things,
With our holy might.

Doing all we could for the meek,
It was never enough,
Persecuted for our failings,
Though we tried to help the weak.

Exiled in our own land,
A strange voice did heed,
Offering us sanctuary,
Northward it did lead.

A frozen sun,
Would guide us there,
As shadows hide,
Our deep despair.

In the midst of our journey,
Darkness did set in,
Blackening our hearts,
Filling us with sin.

At last, in the frozen north,
We were offered a role,
Immortality was to be ours,
The only price was our soul.

Turning our backs on our god,
We accepted his pact with a flood,
Of over zealousness,
Signing our names, in our own blood.

Now atop phantom stallions we ride,
With our souls fleeting as wind through mesh,
We only heed the voice of Ner' zhul,
Ash is our air, darkness our flesh.

Yeah yeah, I know Tyr isn't a part of WC, but it doesn't say who the Paladins worship so =p.

BTW, after a writers block that lasted the better part of a month, I have started writing on my Neverwinter Nights story again, so expect an update in the next day or two at the most. And I'll keep updating it more frequently, I've busted my writers block and am ready to finish it =D.

Good job Bread. However, I do not recall what Tyr is/was, could you tell me. And awsome that you are working on your NWN story again.

Tyr is the god of Justice from the Forgotten Realms setting.

There's a place in Warcraft 2 called Tyr's Hand.

Very nice poem. :)

I like the simplicity of this peom, it's short lines. It makes it original.
