The Song of the Labyrinth

by Thelen Kaarn, 3E 386

---

[Author's note: This song has been in my family since the late First Empire. I can't say whether or not this is true, but it is still something worth mentioning. I've merely copied this song down so it is not forgotten by history and our people.]

"This is the tale of two brothers,
who sought the secret of life.
They ventured into this labyrinthian,
weary from war and strife.

The first was Kanen the Elder,
a strong and cunning man.
He quested for riches and jewels,
yet found Orkey had other plans.

The second was Mogrus the Dim,
and few knew what he was worth.
They saw only the lumbering giant,
not the child who was blessed at birth.

Kanen had spoken of treasure,
Glamoril beckoned his ear.
To descend into Labyrinthian,
and be free of Old Knocker's sneer.

The few they told of their plans,
begged them to desist at their feet.
But the brothers would test this puzzle to the North,
for till then they had known no defeat.

Mogrus the Dim had followed his brother,
into the web of stone and death.
At the fork the left each other,
And apart, held their last breath.

Mogrus fell first, eaten in full,
Cleaved to Dragon's Jot.
Kanen fell second, starved and poisoned,
And the brothers were left to rot.

The Glamoril is still waiting,
somewhere by watchful eye.
The stubborn magicks of Shalidor protecting,
where the secret of life still lies.

This is the tale of two brothers,
who failed the secret of life.
Forever held by two riddles which lead to the prize,
and a wit as cunning, and sharp as a knife..."
