  • We were fortunate enough to have two entries into the Tavern Song Contest, so you get to vote for the one you like best! The winner will get the 20 token prize, which they can use to get free Steam keys. :) The vote will last for two days from the start of this post.

    Elbbsas's Entry
    Evening, lads and lasses. I've got an option for our here songs 'n dance. It's named after the Raintrix -- a pretty little flier, that. Course it only pops up once in the tune, but who cares aye? The total title's the Raintrix Flight. Feh. I'm damn sure those birds aren't gonna let about anyone hop on their backs, but again, who cares? What you might care 'bout is how half the song went missing. Only got the first half, ye-see?

    How I know? Well, 'cause the base of the song's a thing by Mike Bridge... something called Halfling Camp? That there has another chunk of verses to Raintrix Flight's few, and it cuts off after the first chorus. Most only know the chorus, so that no loss.

    Raintrix Flight
    Spoiler
    Cold is creeping at the door
    But we keep it locked out there
    Pick up your rum, assorted scum
    We'll shout in disrepair!

    We'll yodel to our mountains
    Ride a raintrix to its call
    And we’ll laugh at those below us
    That are too scared they would fall

    So salute all our fellows
    Hyperion or Wintrean
    Ignore the backstabs and the jokes
    Of wolves that hunt the night

    Let halls be filled with laughter
    And lightning crashes falter
    We ignore the frost without a cost
    And we keep our spirits bright

    CHORUS
    The fire’s hot and so’s the pot
    There’s tankards full of wine
    So grab a mug of what you want
    And chug until you’re blind!
    The region’s full of acute chill
    But we keep it out of mind
    So gather now and here we vow
    To drink till the fires die.



    Edit: Changed one line.
    From this
    New Hyperion or Wintrean
    To this
    Hyperion or Wintrean
    Gerrick's Entry
    So to prevent there from being only one entry, I decided to come up with a quick and easy song. It's based off the Green Dragon song from the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King.
    Green Dragon Song
    Also, I wasn't sure exactly which tavern we're making a song for, but I assumed it's the Frostbite Tavern. And I've underlined the down-beats.

    Oh, you can search far and wide,
    You can drink all of NationStates dry,
    But for good, strong drink you’ll clench your teeth,
    But for good, strong drink you’ll clench your teeth,
    The very best is in Wintreath,
    The very best is in Wintreath.
    So warm up with some whiskey or mead,
    Or grab a chilly Winter Hammer,
    But the place to see Wintermoot and me
    Is in the Frostbite Tavern!


    I went all the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
    They said "You'd better look alive"
