by: Bendoglaer Syndrath, Bard of Barrowhill date: The Year of the Bent Coin (975 DR) source: Elminster: The Making of a Mage In mighty towers they quake with fright, For the man who kills mages is out tonight. His blade strikes swift, their spells will fail, No ward can stop his deadly flail. From Thay's red halls to shadowed spire, His fame has spread like wildfire. [Chorus] Break their wands, Burn their pages, Death to all the mages! [Sammaster] Through cults of wyrms and broken skies, Sammaster dropped his kind disguise. "Dragons eternal, rise as kings," His words like poison, death he brings. The killer tracks him, rending souls, To end the dragons he controls. [Chorus] Break their wands, Burn their pages, Death to all the mages! [Halaster] Beneath the stone where shadows creep, Halaster reigns in madness deep. His maze of horrors traps the brave, Each step a journey to the grave. The hunter prowls, stalwart and sane, Just Undermountain will remain. [Chorus] Break their wands, Burn their pages, Death to all the mages! [Szass Tam] In crimson robes the undead Lord, Szass Tam rules his deathly horde. Red Wizards fear his iron hand, Their magic cursed across the land. The slayer comes, his manner fell, To end the Zulkir’s final spell. [Chorus] Break their wands, Burn their pages, Death to all the mages! [Outro] In mighty towers they quake with fright, For the man who kills mages is out tonight.
