From EQII:
Bownzer (alts: Bownz, Seelenschrei, Lazyone) from the Crushbone server!
You can see the entry made on his behalf at TheBrasse.com!
From EQ:
Palarran from The Tribunal server!
Palarran's entry:
Gather 'round the fire my friends
To hear a tale of yore
By Karana's hand, a druid began
He changed Norrath evermore
Palarran Taurina is of whom we speak
Were here to tell of deeds
Big or small, he does them all
All you have to do is ask, and he helps fulfill your needs
In every guild there is dissension
No matter your faction, clique or friends
Love them, hate them or indifferent
With Palarrans guiding hand and wisdom friction ends
Dragon kill points need to be updated?
Palarran is the man that toils away
Need help to get that flag?
Palarran is the man wholl lend a hand, so that here you will stay
Who lives in a knothole in Tunares tree?
Palarran is the man and he goes meep, meep!
Our shining knight oops druid
Palarran is here for keeps
Leaders come and leaders go
But Palarran's mettle n'er becomes unfurled
A decade later, still playing together
(Rest in Peace) will rule the world
