In the mystical world of Vyria, a raging war was tearing the lands apart. The instigator, the cruel Dragon King Teremas, saw an opportunity to seize control of all the world’s realms. An alliance of light between the Northern Kingdoms and The Holy Knighthood was formed to fight back in the name of freedom. In the war’s darkest hour, a desperate plea of aid was sent out to the neutral faction of the Dragons of Ice…

Fields of Green

The flames on the battlefield — the only break of dark
As the dragon kKing of Teremas commands the lords of war
And the freedom we believe in strays further from the light
The evil that we see we fight until the end of time
Holy shields and holy swords
Give rise to our hope
For an era of light
I dream of fields of green
Emerald green
Skies of blue
One day my dream may come true
Until then we battle on
The faith in their tortured souls — The last ember of hope
After years of blood and stranglehold — A united Vyria
And the story of the runesword may determine our fate
We’ve sworn an oath to guard our land until our final stand
Enchanted steel and dragon spells
Shall help us end this war
For Vyria’s lands
I dream of fields of green
Emerald green
Skies of blue
One day my dream may come true
Until then we battle on
I dream of fields of green
Emerald green
Skies of blue
One day my dream will come true
Because I won’t lay down my steel
Until Vyria’s fields are green

For the glory of war, the fiery rage
For the blood of our elders that flow in our veins
For absolute plan to conquer this world
For the kingdom, the king, and the sword
We are here for your blood
This cowardly blood
That we drink to enstill
Our desire for your deaths
A path of destruction we leave on our way
Our mission is simple and clear
The will of the king is the will of the tribe
Victorious we’ll stand
As we march into battle our hearts fill with hate
We’re the army that pleads to the banner of scales
Neither thunder nor earthquakes will steer us away
You can run, you can scream
But you’ll die in the name of our king
For the men that we’ve slain, the villages burnt
For the blood of the enemy we’ve spilt on the earth
For the mercy denied, the will of the gods
For the dragons, the crown, and the war
We are here to ensure
Complete annihilation
Of every dissident
Of his majesty the king
The carnage inducted by Teremas’ reign
Spreads fear throughout Vyria’s realm
Each death of a man is a win for the tribe
Long live the dragon king
As we march into battle our hearts fill with hate
We’re the army that pleads to the banner of scales
Neither thunder nor earthquakes will steer us away
You can run, you can scream
But you’ll die in the name of our king
Paladin d’Alembert: “Teremas, cease this endless conflict! Lay down your sword!”
Dragon King Teremas: “You fool of a paladin! You sealed your fate when you decided to go against me!!”
As we march into battle our hearts fill with hate
We’re the army that pleads to the banner of scales
Neither thunder nor earthquakes will steer us away
You can run, you can scream
But you’ll die in the name of our king

At the summit of Hazar’s peak there’s a clue
A sword in a stone with dragon runes
Entailing the wakening of the ruler of the winter sky
She was part human, part dragonkin
The line of succession she was in
Her duty to unite the dragon realm
Her cobalt armor shone so blue
It would help her carry through
The coldest winds the world had ever felt
So goes the tale as told by the sword
But the future is not written in stone
Her destiny is in the hands of the sapphire dragon queen
The guardian of dreams
As the battles raged on in northern lands
She went for the quest for the hammer of ice
A weapon to wield against the armies of unholy faith
The hammer she found, but from its force
She understood of a deeper cause
A cause to supersede the dragonwar
The knights of Vyria blessed her fate
She sacrificed for Vyria’s sake
A chance for peace within her own soul
So goes the tale as told by the sword
But the future is not written in stone
Her destiny is in the hands of the sapphire dragon queen
The guardian of dreams
A warrior of ice from Vyrian lands
The dragons would stand by her side (of unparalleled might)
On clear days you can see her
Riding her dragon
Through the northern skies
The princess of ice
A burden she carries
But still leads the way
The icy north calls out her name
So goes the tale as told by the sword
But the future is not written in stone
Her destiny is in the hands of the sapphire dragon queen
The guardian of dreams
A warrior of ice from Vyrian lands
The dragons would stand by her side (of unparalleled might)
On clear days you can see her
Riding her dragon
Through the northern skies
The princess of ice

Challenged by my destiny
The bloody steel is shining in my hands
The armies of Vyrian kings
Alongside the knights,
The mages, and the princess of ice
Amidst an ocean of steel and bone
Legions of men face the horde
Corrupted by Teremas’ destruction and lies
All who fight for freedom, unite!
The words of our ancestors
We must never forget
When rain starts to pour
With nothing left to strive for
Hold onto your blade
For glory is but one slash away
“One by one, the men fell. Words of encouragement did little to boost morale. But if this was the end, the end would not come easy. So they fought on…”
In a time of blood and fire
In a land of turmoil and pain
Where giants walk beneath the brimstone rain
In a time of blood and fire
When the chaos shatters the realm
Where armies clash upon the Thulian plains
Beneath a layer of ash and smoke
The fate of the people unfolds
Besieged by a tempest of merciless fire
Make use of the hammer of ice
The words of our ancestors
We must never forget
When the rain starts to pour
With nothing left to strive for
Hold onto your blade
For glory is but one slash away
In a time of blood and fire
In a land of turmoil and pain
Where giants walk beneath the brimstone rain
In a time of blood and fire
When the chaos shatters the realm
Where armies clash upon the Thulian plains
In a time of blood and fire
And eternal fights
Warriors and dragons stride through
Blood and fire
And arrows’ rain
The snow turns red again

A hurricane of ice cold rage is spawning in the north
Amongst colossal pillars of fire
Chaos is the only state these plains have ever known
The book of Xandro mentions a mystical force
“Two wizards came offering the Blue Crystal of Forbidden Powers…”
Unsheath your swords and charge
When the power of steel cannot upheave
A force we can all stand behind
The blue crystallized hammer of ice
Is the key to victory
The winter storms pierce through the will of those who stand and fight
But tenfold warms their souls the holy honor
There is no turning back from this if Teremas shall die
Hear the wisdom echo of ancient times passed
“Imbue the Hammer with the Crystal and speak the secret verse…”
Amôriath del’ Gaar
From the Princess’ command, an avalanche
From Hazar’s Peak gushed down the pass
And the dragonsworn horde, buried in snow
Made the king forfeit his throne
If so it is said, then so it shall go
That the ruler of the winter sky
Our universe unites
But in the ashes
The amulet of fate
From the stars was formed
As a token of her soul
Let us rebuild our home
