Reldo writes: I have found an interesting yet incomplete example of late fourth age poetry in one of my many trawls through the Varrockian archives - the oral tradition of Bards, although having died out somewhat recently, accounts for many of RuneScapes mythology. I particularly enjoyed this piece for its thematic content of the traditional archetypes of warrior, ranger and mage.
The archer, the mage, and the knight - by Merlin Rune[edit | edit source]
- Long ago in a time long passed,
- When the world was ripe and young,
- Adventurers three traveled the world vast,
- So now this song is sung
- The first one was a valiant knight,
- Whose heart was pure as gold
- Before him, enemies would take flight
- Because his face was bold
- Then second came the archer quick
- Whose hair was golden blonde
- He'd kill his enemies with but a stick
- Of him the ladies were fond
- Last, not least, came the mage
- His silver beard flowing long
- Twice as smart as any sage
- But not exactly strong
- They travelled far over land
- And under forests old
- Across beaches in the sand
- And in many mountains cold
- I wish more of this could be said
- But the tale is no longer mine
- And as much as I do dread,
- The story is now thine
