The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming
Elidal's the greatest force of good you're ever seeing
We'd surely fall to ruin if not for his intervening
The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming

Because of the parade of threats we've faced for many years
This Elidal is taking steps to now assuage our fears
And so one day he made a vow of some contentious prose
The biggest vow I've heard by now and this is how it goes:

The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming
Hope and safety, wealth and wisdom, deeper inner meaning
He's the apex, he's the leadership that we've been needing
The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming

Now, it might seem precocious, like your lives are a disgrace
Or it might seem atrocious, like your heroes die a waste
But all the blood shed by our fallen fighters need not fail
Just ally now with Elidal or it's to no avail

The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming
Not to sound too grand or condescending or demeaning
But have you seen the trouble this frontier is always gleaning?
The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming

(You could say it nearly backwards:
Dreaming your everything will bring Darkstone of barony...
But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?)

So as you face down yet more wars you didn't need to fight
Reflect on Eli's words and how he'll be our shining light
You'd better ponder carefully since this could change your life
For example: a permanent stability that sees the end of strife

The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming
Lift you out of hopeless doubts and fears since they're deceiving
If you say it oft enough, you'll find yourself believing
The barony of Darkstone will bring everything you're dreaming

'''Context''':

After months and months of war with [[Gnul]] and later [[Haidan]] and the Remnants funded by the Wraith, Lord [[Elidal]]'s outward show of bravado and optimism never changed. On the other hand, after Commander [[Sablo]] foolishly ambushed, poisoned, and captured the Ember Vale [[reiver]]s' representative [[Rheshay]] during a parley between her and [[Wehnimer's Landing]], the Ember Vale retaliated days later by capturing Lady [[Aronia]], which left Elidal a worried mess.

As people reminded him that war was to be expected, he finally grew frustrated enough to blurt out that he'd already known, saying that everything he read while researching the area told him to run. However, he revealed his savior complex in the same breath as he explained that he didn't run because the Landing deserved better. The Landing, of course, had never asked for him nor any nearby barony in the first place because it was doing just fine without for centuries, but somehow Elidal persists in believing that he's the solution to every problem.
