Song of Aegwynn

The song of Aegwynn is known to many people who knows about Warcraft that it's a poem dedicated to the mother of the Last Guardian of Tirisfal, known as Aegwynn herself. It depicted her epic battle with the Dark Lord of the Burning Legion, Sargeras. If anyone has read the Last Guardian, they would also know that it's the key used by the late Order of Tirisfal to decipher messages sent to Medivh, the last Guardian. Each member possesses this poem, or key, which in turn can be used to translate each coded communications. I do not know if Blizzard Entertainment has made an official Song of Aegwynn, so I made my version of the Song of Aegwynn, with the help of the book The Last Guardian.

In case anyone is feeling lost about any of these terms, I shall explain it briefly. Aegwynn was a Guardian of Tirisfal in her time. The Tirisfalen is a council of high mages who fought a war against the demons who invaded Azeroth, the world we come to know of when we play the Warcraft series. Theirs was a secret society of sort, and no one knew of its existence. Magna Aegwynn (a term reserved for a great mage), was the first female mage ever, and was also the first female Guardian as well, for her predecessors were normally males. This information can be found in the World of Warcraft:Cycle of Hatred. The Guardian serves as a gatekeeper of the magic of Azeroth, and the greatest powers are conferred to them when they become Guardians. The other members of the Order of Tirisfal will often give advices or summons to the current Guardian, in a sense to safeguard him/her. After Aegwynn's victory against Sargeras, Sargeras bound himself to Aegwynn's womb, and used his dark influence to make Aegwynn come to the idea of conceiving a child, who would become a Guardian in her place. And that child would become the Last Guardian, Medivh. This part will be updated next time. Please enjoy the poem, Song of Aegwynn, below.

This poem is dedicated to the author of The Last Guardian and the Blizzard staff, who made the greatest strategy and mmorpg game ever.


The Song of Aegwynn

In ages old, the Guardians hold
the power to end demonkind.
Their greatest shine, her powers divine,
the first female Magna of all time.
Aegwynn was she named, and was credited her fame
for her defeat of the demon god Sargeras.

Cold was the path she stood upon,
when she took the demons head on.
A dragon hunt the demons sought,
but a battle with Aegwynn did they fought.
With the sharpness of blades and bitterness of death,
the bolt she summoned charred them to ashes.

Frantic and maddened the demons were,
and they summoned forth the Legion.
They tried to charge forth to finish her,
yet had no hold over her in this region.
An alliance with the dragons she had,
and they ripped into the demons' ranks.

Chanting, both demons and Guardian were,
to serve each's needs of destruction.
A bright blast of energy converged,
as Aegwynn finished her conjuration.
Demons and dragons perished under the bright light,
and t'was when Sargeras arrived!

His collosal body was made of bronze,
and he wore a black obsidian armour.
He had burning hair and huge horns,
his eyes had the Infinite Abyss' colour.
He carried a runed spear with blood that fall,
and its long tail ended in a great fireball.

The dragons fled, with two great powers left.
Aegwynn of Tirisfal, and Sargeras of Legion.
Aegwynn gathered within her all her powers,
and with a blast let Sargeras witness her prowess.
A rainbow strike thrusted into his chest,
and he fell back as he's about to face death.

The Dark Lord sought to recover his strength,
but the Guardian stopped it with another flash.
Sargera's avatar was now destroyed,
as his powers left him into the void.
As the ice cracked, he sank to doom,
and what lays beneath is now his tomb.
