GOLARION THE OPERA-FIRST CANTO-
ASMODEUS IN A DARK PLACE
I am a simple Soul who wants more from life than life has to give. I want to crush the breath from its broken body. I want to suck the marrow From its bones. I want more from Life. Is that so wrong?
THE CHORUS OF THE DAMNED
Well Poor bugger me hes all alone trapped for eternity on an empty throne.
-SECOND CANTO-
ALVAR THE SHEEP HERDER HAS A DREAM
I have a dream, to sit upon a distant throne. I have a dream, to wench a hundred Different Gnomes. I have a dream, to slaughter me a thousand foes. I have a dream.
THE CHORUS OF THE DAMNED
Dreaming while bandits his sheep molest and he doesnt even have a scarf and vest.
-THIRD CANTO-
ALVAR FINDS THE VILLAGE ABLAZE
What is this? My Village is burning. Alarm. Alarm. My Village is Ablaze. What is this? My Village Raised and Goblins fleeing. Fleeing the scene of their misdeeds. What is this? My boyhood home... What is this? All that I loved My childhood all but washed away in a Tidal wave of flame.
THE CHORUS OF THE DAMNED
Oh sweet retribution for your sins Well deserved before their time. |

| #3yellowdingoSep 06, 2009 19:12:13 | Work in progress...some fools wrote one on Twitter with contributions from over 900 people. I figured I could get a full Opera based on D&D the same way.

| #4fenrir7139Sep 06, 2009 21:26:02 | Well, I'd help, but, like I said, I don't really know anything about opera... Is there some sort of rythym or something you need to follow? Like how Haikus go 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables? Or Iambic Pentameter? |

Don't you mean "razed"? Also, while I like the idea, isn't this a bit trivial for a piece of opera? |

I was going with burn it to a smouldering ruin.
As to trivial...wow I was thinking a D&D epic adventure in which the protagonist butchers his way across the world getting exactly what he wants.

Tee hee hee, Ha Ha Ha! I wonder if this is any good? Oh well its shiny lets take it any how. Then comes the voice: Hey You! Goblins! Call out the Guard!
THE CHORUS OF THE DAMNED Ordinary folk living life on the fringe Scrounging the waste of the village bins. |
