This is my contribution to the Tinkertune Tavern - PROJECT: #TheTavern. I based my character from a story that I wrote years ago about a dark ranger named Aric Duskbane. I provided a brief overview of my character below. I also created three videos regarding his life on YouTube and a separate video for this song (see below for the web links). The YouTube videos also include a written story that explains the video in more detail. Much Peace and Love! ❤️🙏✌️ FMX Aric Duskbane is a celebrated hero that loves to visit TInkertune Tavern for ale and music. The townsfolk once feared him, as he was a mythical dangerous outlaw in the wild, but they soon learned he was honorable and a trusted friend. Aric Duskbane’s history was one of heartbreak, as he was once the celebrated general of the Kingdom of Umbryss, and loyal servant to the crown, renowned for his unparalleled prowess in battle. Betrayed by King Veldrath, who falsely accused him of treason out of fear and envy, Aric was imprisoned and his family mercilessly killed. Escaping his bonds with the help of his loyal hawk companion, Kaelith, Aric shed his title and became the Dark Ranger. Haunted by grief and driven by vengeance, he roamed the land, protecting the innocent and fighting against the tyrannical forces of King Veldrath and the sorcerer Maltherion the Shadowbinder. Known for his unmatched skill with blade and bow, Aric forged a legend as a lone protector. Yet his path shifted when he rescued Princess Seraphina of Miravale, who sought his guidance in her fight against the darkness threatening her kingdom. Though his heart remains heavy with loss, Aric’s journey is one of justice, redemption, and a fragile hope for peace.

But tonight, my quarrel lies at ease, So drink your ales, and hold your peace.” Oh, the stranger came to Tinkertune Tavern Beneath the glow of a ghostly moon A sip of ale, a passing grin The night would never be the same again And when he left, the air turned light The shadows fled into the night Yet tales were told for years to come Of the ranger’s visit, and the silence won
