Reclamation Day

Fifty years on, the kingdom throws a parade for King Emeric and the fall of the Dreadlord, and everyone smiles for it. But look closer: the tieflings aren't cheering, and neither is the king. History's parades always leave someone out.

Reclamation Day is here again
Time to celebrate the king our friend
The Deepwright Nation he saved us all
Lord Emeric Proud the Dreadlord's Fall

Raise the banners let's burn the lights
Mock the Dreadlord for our delight
Let the children run laugh and sing
The joyous celebration ring

Effigies now raise up on poles
Let the best bards assume their roles
The Teladrimm Five again let's tell
How fifty years ago he fell

See the show and celebrate
How the Dreadlord met his fate
Let the band play start the show
Deepwright Nation's best you know

Smell the feasting such rare delights
Here have another drink it's nice
Here with our gnome and human friends
Reclamation Day here again

Ignore the tieflings' sullen looks
They got the deal the Bargain took
The elves and dwarves who cares for them
Same for the lost Felwarians

See the show and celebrate
How the Dreadlord met his fate
Let the band play start the show
Deepwright Nation's best you know

See the show and celebrate
How the Dreadlord met his fate
Let the band play start the show
Deepwright Nation's best you know

It's not a day for fate or gods
Day to remember we beat the odds
With bravery and a little luck
The king's sword Asmodeus struck

Here comes the parade hail the king
Ignore his grimace time to sing
Bring the bards out raise cups high
The Deepwright Nation never die

See the show and celebrate
How the Dreadlord met his fate
Let the band play start the show
Deepwright Nation's best you know

See the show and celebrate
How the Dreadlord met his fate
Let the band play start the show
Deepwright Nation's best you know

Contest again the greatest acts
Prize to the best the others lack
Who cares if there's only one judge
It's tradition so we won't budge

Contest again the greatest acts
Prize to the best the others lack
Who cares if there's only one judge
It's tradition so we won't budge
