Task for Acolytes: "The latest reports, both internally and in the Pyramid of Galactic Influence, tell me that a new song has been heard on the warfront, sung by Republic soldiers as a way of provoking our troops. It goes as follows:
Vowrawn has only got one ball, Krovos does more with none at all, Xarion’s as good as carrion, And Anathel might as well sit and bawl
Not to be outdone, I am offering a small reward to any acolyte who can compose a similar song or chant, perhaps even one in direct response to the above. Bear in mind that this will be chanted or sung by Imperial troops to demean the enemy in some way, so keep it simple - I don't want to hear any operas.
Take this as an opportunity to display your creativity. Assuming it meets my standards you will be rewarded and I am certain the troops will thank you for giving them something to reply with when they hear vulgar insults from the other side, rather than being forced to sit and listen in silence."
Acolyte Ariyana submits her entry, with an amateurish recording made by a random, willing trooper. What's that I hear, it's coming near, It's Daerunn's quivering arse!
Wait, there's some more, it's coming, sure, It's rancid, little Rans!
They quake in fear, hold on so dear, To Shan's skimpy skirts!
'Cause it's us they hear, we're coming near, To kick their slimy butts!
Now, join our roar, let's hear some more, It's Vowrawn's might we bear!
For, yes, it's clear, we are the spear, That we'll drive up Daerunn's arse! OOC: Recording can be found as an attachment!
"My Lord, this is my first time in attempting to make anything rhyme, thus, I hope that it is to your satisfactory.
The tune I made with a chin-harp which I heard one of our Imperial soldiers playing, and who agreed to lend the instrument for me for 30 seconds so no rules and regulations of possessing items which an Acolyte should not have were broken."
Signed, Acolyte Kaellus
"We rise to be the blade,
To cleanse and sweep away,
The enemy who has gone astray,
Fear and shed tears, as we are on our way,
You are our pray, and we have come to slay!" "Beg that I succeed, for I have seen throne of the Gods, and it was empty!"
Here we go back into war! Bringing reason close and far! The Republic must now die! For they live a big old lie! The Jedi fight to no avail! The Sith will always make them pale! The Imp army is the best! For we are totally gone blessed! My Lord, this is a marching rhyme meant to inspire the troops and inspire coherence during marching orders. Force Serve, Daxze Trihza
My Lord, for the War Tunes task I have written a short battle chant to inspire and motivate the Imperial troops. I have attached a recording in which a cooperative trooper sings the rhyming battle chant.
I hope that my work lives up to your expectations.
Force serve, Evelyn Ghûl Lyrics battle chant:
“We fight underneath the starlight,
Throughout the entire night.
For the Empire and its power,
We shall make our enemies cower.
Men, women and children will shiver with fear,
Right as the powerful Sith appear.
We will spill Republic blood,
And watch your dead body fall into the mud.
Because for the mighty Empire we fight,
Throughout the day and night.”
"The Northern Territories shift under the weight of changing times. With the passage of the ICOT, internal strife amongst Imperial Forces in the North has lessened - though never abated. Although the momentum of the Republic has not yet been met entirely, fortification efforts and victorious naval campaigns have evened the footing at least slightly. Eyes align on systems such as Vykos, Nam'ta and Orsus to see how this proceeds.."
((OOC: The Balance of Power system has begun! Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state at the start of the next war arc will determine how strong the Republic will be in the area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
