The Song of Sigehold

The Song of Sigehold

Come one, come all be you young or you old

Come listen to the song of the Sigehold

This hall has it's routes in a warring time

So spare a few moments for these words of mine

No stranger to hardship, the snow or the cold

Founded by Striking Ardith, a leader so bold

The sons and the daughters of the Storm indeed

With courage in plenty for each other to bleed

Glady seeking a glorious end

To go wandering through the labyrinth's bends

And these are the deeds of what I've been told

That weave part of the story of the Sigehold

A motley crew did join together, freeing slaves from the Thule

Slipping through where the line was weak and freeing their friends from their masters cruel

As this band in number grew from those that had been caught or sold

They started the lines of this song and the founding of the Sigehold

Over the years this hall did prosper, spread its wings so it could soar

Hailing from the Wintermark in Skarsind in the frozen North

Now found to be in another land after gifting theirs to our friends the orcs

An event that would see much conflict here after that fateful equinox

But Hahnmark now counts this group as one of its Winterborn

With new adventures now in site as they make their mark in their new home

Giving up their homes and lands and everything that they did hold

With a greater view of the world, this is part of the charm of the Sigehold

It did soar like the eagle from its aerie on high

This hall now counts its members from all walks of life

The fighters of course that made up its spine

Which was needed when crawling through the blood and the grime

Since then though things are different so come now with me

And meet some of these folk now a great family

Runesmiths and healers, mages and stormcrows

Ladies of pleasure and people who trade and grow

None of this though lets their loyalty lie

Aside to those people they knew who did die

In the tragic battle of Winter 379

So to those heroic dead let us all raise some wine

And next time you have some flowers to hold

Let them remind you of the Sigehold
