Coqarm Dvarrark (Cavern Dwellers)

[Lore / Background]: "In the tribal & warlike culture of the Avarians, it is a common punishment for them to have their wings severed, either for treason, cowardice, heresy or as a display of dominance over prisoners of war. Some are sent into exile, while others are cast into the caves and caverns of the planet, sentenced to a lifetime of labor mining precious metals and gemstones beneath the planet, where they are sold onto the other tribes on the surface. These flightless miners are referred to as Coqarm Dvarrark (Cavern Dwellers). They live in tightly-knit communities in large caverns or in expansive quarries. Sometimes, these Coqarm Dvarrark are hired for battle in order to mine out tunnels leading to areas of strategic importance, or for undermining critical structures in enemy territory. On occasion, priests from the Silent Brood visit these communities as a show of good faith and reassurance that their efforts help to shape and mold the image of their ancestors." [Intro - Spoken Word] "The true way, without wings... That was what the Silent Brood told us, before they punished us, left us unable to touch the skies... and buried us, in the bowels of our lands." [Verse 1] Chained in the hollow Earth Sacred blood Draining it Pushing us further down We cannot touch the sky We're digging deeper Deeper Our fathers, punished and torn We were born in this life In this stifling hell Buried alive [Chorus] The blackened heart of the earth The scorned, the disgraced We rot below As they take flight The blackened heart of the earth All our hopes, they shall die [Verse 2] Chained in the hollow Earth Ancient blood They pretend to it They never asked if it hurt They took our wings Pushing us further down They said they needed us Toiling in the bone-dry depths We dig deeper Deeper Deeper [Chorus] The blackened heart of the earth The scorned, the disgraced We rot below As they take flight The blackened heart of the earth All our hopes, they shall die [Spoken Word]: "Tra srebak maad uir vurrd'k reddam buimsae... Nu uma raoqak sra vesk." (The tribes need our world's hidden bounty...) (No one leaves the pits.) [Chorus] The blackened heart of the earth The scorned, the disgraced We rot below As they take flight The blackened heart of the earth All our hopes, they shall die OH! The blackened heart of the earth The scorned, the disgraced We rot below As they take flight The blackened heart of the earth All our hopes, they shall die
