The Ballad of The Lords Of The North II by @Disposable
A True Story
If you fancy stories of triumph and grit
Slow down for a moment and come have a sit
And hear of the batch
Created from scratch
In search of a much better fit
A small group of fighters, effective and deft
Who gave every battle their bravery’s best
Were stuck in a clan
Without any plan
Whose leadership seemingly left
A goal was proposed to go make a fresh start
And launch a new squad based on courage and heart
The idea was plain:
To find real gain
These renegades soon would depart
Just two months ago, now it’s been almost three
A plan went in motion with all who agreed
And our founders struck out
Fed up with the drought
Of old leaders non activity
A team was established, not large but intent
On building upon what they’ve all underwent
With fun at the center
Of this new adventure
‘Active but chill’ is what we’d represent
The battle flag planted, our spirits were hearty
Time to call others to come join the army
“If you love the fight,
Whatever your might,
You’re welcome, dear soldier, beside me”
The reason we formed would catch great attention
From others caught up in the same situation
Our origin tale
Of leadership fail
Was theirs too, many would mention
The first group was six, and then came five more
Many lone wolves also knocked on the door
Then a four-person fam
Rolled up in a van
Seeking more action than what came before
Others had stories of opposite relish
Their alliance had gotten just too overzealous
The grind had no buffer
Their happiness suffered
They just want to play, they would tell us
There were new players, mid games, a few two-year vets
A cross-cut of gamers and levels, and yet
We all came to play
So don’t get in the way
Or then you’ll know why we’re a threat
We’re proud our development came in defiance
Of ‘required minimums’ leaderboard guidance
And happily grew
From out of the stew
Of languishing zombie alliances
So went the rise of The Lords Of The North
By basing a player’s most valuable worth
Not just in their stats
Or time in combat
But their love of the game going forth
And if you see yourself in our birds of a feather
You’re welcome to join us regardless of whether
You’re new or you’re old,
As long as you’re bold,
We can all play apart but together
VALHALLAS STURM** by @Maze_80
Das Land in Not, die Horden wüten
und man vergaß die alten Mythen.
Die Reiche waren ohne Helden,
wer sollte einen die 3 Welten?
Die Burgen waren längst verlassen,
nur noch Elend in den Gassen.
Ein Licht ging auf im dunklen Turm
und bracht vor
VALHALLAS STURM
Die Tapfersten, aus Licht geboren,
wurden für die Schlacht beschworen.
Gemeinsam zog man durch das Land,
der Gegner wurde überrannt.
Die dunklen Horden sind geschlagen
und Licht wird in die Welt getragen.
Titane finden schnell den Tod,
gekämpft wird bis zum Morgenrot.
Noch heute steh`n sie Seit an Seit,
jederzeit zur Schlacht bereit.
Der Morgen graut, der Tag wird heller,
gemeinsam zieht man in den Keller.
Bei wahrlich rauschendem Gelage,
feiert man die neuen Tage.
Geehrt vom Volk in neuen Sagen,
wird auch der letzte Feind geschlagen.

The country in need, the hordes rage and the old myths were forgotten. The rich were without heroes, who should the 3 worlds be? The castles had long since been abandoned, only misery in the streets. A light rose in the dark tower and brought before VALHALLAS STORM The bravest, born of light, were summoned for battle. Together they went through the country, the enemy was overrun. The dark hordes are beaten and light is carried into the world. Titans quickly find death, fighting continues until dawn. Even today they stand side by side, ready for battle at any time. The morning dawns, the day becomes brighter, together you move into the basement. With a truly roaring feast, you celebrate the new days. Honored by the people in new sagas, even the last enemy is struck.
QC_Mtl, Monteregy’ alliance by @SinShadow
Only the braves ventures in QC_Mtl, Monteregy’ alliance
And to our saint Gral you must show no defiance
Petrocorian or Azn; feels free to joined
But be warned there is no plush in this alliance, no chihuahua in our war
Those who dare will leave with a scar
Cause in the shadow, lurks a wereworlf,
A Greywolf, and even a fox ready
to turn enemies into dog’s gravy
Replacing tiles in Nordic order
Be ready to destroy 500 titans like Qwertyjr7Rodgden or just as fast as your fingers slipped on the keyboard
Trust me you won’t be bored
Blessed by a fairy named PixieTrixie
Beware of our Valkyries
Caro, Maria and Steph choose who may die and who may live
And to stay in our team loyalty and time, you must give
Just like Jobsinator and Dave his evil twin
Follow the path of valor and shoot Goose to win
Whether you’re are a ninja, an ambassador, a Jesser or just a typical John
We can offer you a shelter don’t wait till dawn
You may be one click away to your bestie
