Three children above the sun strike down in their fun
Three champions born of craft and carve war upon the land graphed in large
One of one seeks defiance, power, and nothing
Two of two seek non-compliance, the growing flower, and something
And when at last when they all clash their war shall not be over till the world is caked with ash
Yet even then they’ll rise again in holy guided defense
A brutal resurrection from the buried grave will ensure the lands protection
So many will die following champions sent from high
Filv found himself one random postnoon, whilst observing the roaming fields and watching the distant sheep, contemplating a serious theological question. The question was this; am I a crafter, or a carver? Verba thinking argued that every person was, for the most part, one of the two. Yet Filv was a shepherd, and shepherds don't exactly craft or carve anything, they largely just tend.
New idea for current wip
Problem: I need a way to measure distance without using miles, and nobody has time to be counting steps or paces
Answer: changeable unit of one "fall"
Explanation?
There once was a mad lord in Kinton who became very famous for falling a great height off a mountain during a drunken hike. The length he fell was equivalent to 1,204 feet.
It eventually became popular practice to refer to how tall something is(or how far you'd go if you fell over)relation to one "mad Fritzo fall." Ex: the kingdoms greatest tower was roughly ninth of a mad Fritzo Fall
Due to common use and well known background making extra info irrelevant, remove "Fritzo." Ex: the man was a giant, standing nearly 150th of a mad fall
Due to common use and well known background making extra info irrelevant, remove "mad." Ex: the towering wave which threatened the quaint town of Dilkan stood at one sixth of a fall
Due to common use, measurement for height is eventually applied to all forms of distance. Ex: The dark night was spotted upon his battle stead from a distance of two falls, oblivious to what awaited him.
New problem: lots of math for some items
Answer one: come up with other forms if measurement(have to do that anyway, at least a little bit)
Answer two: make everyone good at multiplication and division
