A rock opera retelling the cosmogony of Dungeons & Dragons (the Forgotten Realms), from the draconic origins all the way to 5th edition. Here: Saga The Aoan Genesis, song 5 of 9. This saga is a personal adaptation: D&D lore contradicts itself from one edition to the next, so it weaves a coherent version. It is a version of the story, not the official one. Tu joues à D&D ?

Lyrics: I am the earth beneath your sacred tread I am the rock, the clay, the riverbed My body holds each far and silent mountain My tears run down as river and as fountain You made me, Sisters of the light and night But look upon my plains… where nothing wakes to light The endless twilight creeps through every hollow My oceans lie in frost, my forests fallow The seed of life is buried in my core But with no warmth it sleeps for evermore O you who gave me shape and gave me knowing Grant me the fire, and set my whole world glowing Give me the warmth so life at last may waken (life may waken) So all my sleeping fields are not forsaken (not forsaken) One sun, one flame, one spark to break this endless night So all my children rise and dance into the light I am Chauntea, the Great Mother, on my knees Give warmth to her who fed you both, I beg you, please My sister, can you hear the Mother calling? Her world is cold and trembling, dust and falling She speaks the truth, this twilight bears no seed Her womb is rich but starving, left to bleed Let us give fire, let us light a single star So life can tear the veil of all we are You'd burn the darkness that I hold most dear? You'd fill my silence up with noise and fear? This swarming life that feeds and spreads and grows And tramples down the stillness that I chose No, sister, stillness was our shared inheritance And life is nothing but an insolence Give me the warmth so life at last may waken (life may waken) So all my sleeping fields are not forsaken (not forsaken) One sun, one flame, one spark to break this endless night So all my children rise and dance into the light I am Chauntea, the Great Mother, on my knees Give warmth to her who fed you both, I beg you, please Now hear me, gentle Mother, in your blindness The gift you beg will shatter all our stillness For if the light should ever win the sky The Sisters Who Were One will say goodbye And on that day my silver sister pays With all her shining… I will take her blaze So be it, Shar, if you refuse to hear A mother's plea, so tender and so clear Then I will walk alone into the churning And take the flame, my very bones still burning For life is worth the burning that it takes And a mother's love is stronger than your hate Give me the warmth so life at last may waken (life may waken) So all my sleeping fields are not forsaken (not forsaken) One sun, one flame, one spark to break this endless night So all my children rise and dance into the light I am Chauntea, the Great Mother, on my knees Give warmth to her who fed you both, I beg you, please The rift begins… #DnD #ForgottenRealms #TTRPG #DungeonsAndDragons #geekndragon #rockopera #mythology #fantasy #Chauntea #TheAoanGenesis
