As the sun sets on the wartime horizonAnd the soldiers sheathe their bladesThe sails of the cruisers are drawn to the sides andexplosions are drowned by wavesFor with light’s last breath, a season is bornA pause in the darkness to birth the next mornAs the Long Eve begins, kin of Elbor amassFor 10 days of reflection on the long year now passedWas 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 remainsThe night will abate once our bitterness wanesIf you cleave to your hatred, your rage, your despairThen the sun will be broken, with no hope of repairSo take hold of your loved ones, and make strangers your friend.Make peace, Sooth your grief, your old grudges amendFor you’ll see with each passing, each night spent releasedAll 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 foundFor the love of our families and strangers alikeWhen merged, forms a new sun, Everdawn, this year’s lightWith this ignition, we’ll venture the new day’s campaignThe year stretches before us - all potential, no painSo take heed of this lesson, and start the next year off rightHappy Long Eve to all, may we all greet the light!Support the showVenture Forth is a Dungeons and Dragons podcast.
