Venture Forth: A D&D Podcast

The Long Eve - A Holiday Poem from the cast of Venture Forth


Listen Later

As the sun sets on the wartime horizon
And the soldiers sheathe their blades
The sails of the cruisers are drawn to the sides and
explosions are drowned by waves


For with light’s last breath, a season is born

A pause in the darkness to birth the next morn

As the Long Eve begins, kin of Elbor amass

For 10 days of reflection on the long year now passed


Was it soaked through Ylduria, her root’s thirst to sate?

Did Laurus and Fimir recall it by fate?

Is it warred for by Angels, as the Elders suggest?

Or swallowed by a Dragon, a Lord in unrest?


Whichever tale you believe, the lesson remains

The night will abate once our bitterness wanes

If you cleave to your hatred, your rage, your despair

Then the sun will be broken, with no hope of repair


So take hold of your loved ones, and make strangers your friend.

Make peace, Sooth your grief, your old grudges amend

For you’ll see with each passing, each night spent released

All the more will the sun shine, when the Long Eve has ceased!


When you scope the horizon, watch the colors abound,

Each sliver of light, a connection you’ve found

For the love of our families and strangers alike

When merged, forms a new sun, Everdawn, this year’s light


With this ignition, we’ll venture the new day’s campaign

The year stretches before us - all potential, no pain

So take heed of this lesson, and start the next year off right

Happy Long Eve to all, may we all greet the light!
