That Which Remains
    
     So much has been done, thought and seen
     Some remembered, much more lost
     In this realm of ours, like a dream
     Swirling in the shrouded mists of time.

     Who drank the last glass of wine
     made in glorious Myth Drannor?
     Who placed the first dusty tome
     In the ancient towers of Candlekeep?    
     Who crafted the first Harpers pin
     worn by these brave women and men?

     All alas are forgotten...

     Who forged the mystical sword Polaris
     in the hidden reach of the Dragonspine mountains?
     Who walked along the paths of the elven wood
     before the vigil of the Standing Stone?
     Who set that first, heavy block
     for the walls of Waterdeep Palace?

     These alas...have slipped away...

     The deeds of heros, and treachery of villains
     Dragons and battles and songs once sung
     Feelings and triumphs and regretful loss
     These and so many more...
     Eventually escape our mortal minds
     If not for the tales of scribes and bards
     Of these glorious things left behind...
