| A BARD'S BEGINNING |
| ------------------ |
| |
| This is a tale of a young village Bard, |
| an Imp from Torston who yearned for a new home. |
| Setting out all alone he found very hard, |
| but some slavers captured him when he started to roam. |
| |
| Thrown in a dungeon in a dank gloomy cell, |
| the Imp knew he would die if he didn't escape. |
| An old man gave him a key then started to yell, |
| the Imp started running, no time to make jape. |
| |
| With a Northern's help he knew where to go, |
| the Imp escaped the dungeon and set off on his path. |
| With naught to keep warm, he trudged through the snow, |
| he arrived in Spinesreach, free of the slavers' wrath. |
| |
| Now begins the tale of Bartham the Bard, |
| armed with a thirst for knowledge that cannot be barred. |
