Competition: [Phase 1] Battle Hymns (Poetry)

Context

Vizsla is stuck between a rock and a hard place. For months it has been focused on learning what the Ba’slanar Codex contains. Now, one of our enemies has turned-coat and is offering us access to the Codex but her help comes with the potential for all-out war.

Instead, Vizsla attempts to forge its own path, by following up on a lead to an ancient forge that could be the answer to opening the damn codex. Sent to search three (3) settlements on Ruhnuk, that were once founded by Tarre Vizsla, you’ve been tasked to clear out whatever beings remain and find that forge.

Objective

Your character is part of the first wave to descend on the world of Ruhnuk. As your team descends, they start singing a familiar warchant to pump themselves up for the chaos to come.

Write a warchant to be remembered.
