'Andrithan lords dead at their feet, 'The Battle of Magics was near to its end. 'Held three priests of the True Lord signs of the snake, 'And twelve of the evil ones poisonous staves. 'The Song of Destruction struck fear in their chests, 'The evil ones trembled, their staves were as dust. 'Their power befuddled, three surrounded twelve.

“That's an obscure one. I must have been no older than ten when I learned it, and I can't have sang it more than five or six times since then. It rhymes in the original language.”
“Who did you learn it from?”
“I can't say. I pick up songs wherever I hear them, but that's an old one, and well-known enough among minstrels. It's just not sung very often.”
“It sounds like there was a fight between three priests and twelve 'evil ones'. What is the 'Song of Destruction?'”
“The evil ones are users of magic, so I'd guess the Song is something that hurts them.”
“So, eleven of the 'evil ones' fell, but so did two of the priests?”
“That's what it sounds like. These old songs usually omit things like the victors dying. I think it was left in this time because it makes the victory more dramatic.”
“What is this about three days? The 'evil one' returned to seek his own death, or the death of the priest?”
“In context, I'd guess it was his own death. Otherwise, there would have to be a second verse.”
“Do you know of any other stories or songs about this subject, or the Song of Destruction?”

The Aglar
Rang's economy is based on barter and silver, the later dominating commercial activity in towns and cities. The silver Aglar (ă'glǒr) has been minted since the early days of Rang, primarily out of the capitol, Duerstadt. There are also regional mints in most of the duchies, bearing unique mint marks, and producing, collectively, about four fifths as much as is produced by, polished to a shine and etched with a spiral. “If you need me for an emergency, give this to Grabble at his inn, along with a sealed message if you have one.
