(Bonus DM Track) Two-Part Jaro [Remastered]
The bonus track: my character's secret backstory, written for the DM's ears only at the time. Jaro was ripped from the Reverie and sent out by Umbrasanthar with a seed to plant, making friends he might one day have to betray. Those secrets have since come out at the table, so now it can be published.
I see you wreathed in flame
You wear it like a cloak
It licks at your face and your skin, but it does not burn you
If you choose to don this cloak
It will incinerate your enemies as well as the ones you love
Taken from the nicest dream
Tortured in the cage
Bled of power, left to scream
Out the futile rage
You were part of the Reverie,
Now you're in the world
Do you obey your sacred call
Or on your master turn?
The fire and steel it comes so fast
The Scar consumes your home
So you hide out here licking rocks
Lost but not alone
Umbrasanthar summons you
To obey the creed
To the world outside of the Reverie
You must bear the seed
You were part of the Reverie,
Now you're in the world
Do you obey your sacred call
Or on your master turn?
Is Teladrimm too innocent
For Umbrasanthar's game?
You once suffered pain and fear
Can you cause the same?
You were part of the Reverie,
Now you're in the world
Do you obey your sacred call
Or on your master turn?
So many flavors here to taste
Can your faith resist
Not everyone's a monster here
Should the plan desist?
You were part of the Reverie,
Now you're in the world
Do you obey your sacred call
Or on your master turn?
You were ripped from the Reverie,
Now you've got new friends
If you help them to stay alive
Will your homeland end?
Carry the Lucid Reverie,
Your Wisdom must discern
Should these friends who help you now
On the pyre burn?
You'd better lick more rocks
