The Ascension War

Written by: Dan Diamond

"Back (in 996 or was it 997?) there was an Ascension War to decide certain matters among the pantheon of greater gods. I was not there, despite having just championed Faelie’s cause after her peril at the hands of the Misty Glen Monks. However recently there have been…not exactly rumors, but shall we say an apprehension that the pantheon imbalance may yet be, or perhaps must be, corrected. So, to honor the past and herald what may come, I give you a filk based on a tune too famous to mention [Final Countdown]." -Diamond Banecroft
