Old Brunder & Kaft

Old Kaftrian Folk Song

Old Brunder,

Rotunder

He just wasn't thinkin'

When he came a' knocked down Kaft's door

So Old Kaft

He just laughed

And made his own kingdom

And said Brunder I declare war

Well Old Brunder

Rotunder

He wasn't so bright

So he agreed and tried attacking once more

But Old Kaft

Just laughed

As people flocked overnight

As population growth was all that he saw

Well Old Brunder

Rotunder

He did get quite mad

And chopped off Kaftria's head

But through all of it

All of Maruve wept

For a day

For the True King was dead.

But there as those of us who

May say in hushed tones

And only do speak

Once we're all alone

That the True King does live

Far amongst trees of calm

And now goes by the name:

The Wise Man of Elmbalm

This is a traditional Kaftrian song that is usually sung after victorious battles or during celebrations. The song itself refers to the First Kaftrian-Furni War and the infamous standoff between Brunder Brocksfur and Donfen Kaft, each immortalised as the god Brunter in the Furni religions and the angel/prophet Deorfindel by various pagan tribes.
