counting rhymes

Page history last edited by nellisir 3 yrs ago


This is a classic counting rhyme usually used to pick someone as "it" in a game. The Dark Below are the realms, caverns, and passages below the surface of the world.

Places of the Dark Below

Five realms of stone in darkness deep

Five vaults beneath the mountains steep

Four great halls from the times of old

Four cities fallen dragons hold

Three plunging pits of endless thunder

Three labyrinths of loot and plunder

Two kingdoms lost to undeath foul

Two havens kept for lightless cowl

One prison under watchful lord

One throne of chaos and discord

 

Places of the Dark Below

Who will find them…YOU will go!


Old Wizards Rhyme

Ten old wizards, asleep beneath the hill;

Far from Grim Lord’s icy touch, yet they feel his chill.

 

Nine old wizards, in barrows 'round the land;

Each is sealed in earth & stone, marked with emerald brand.

 

Eight old wizards, with terror they did reign;

Wake them in their stony beds, and power they'll regain.

 

Seven old wizards, truenames long since dead;

Raise them up from ancient bones, and then strike off their heads.

 

Six old wizards, feared beyond the sea;

All of them crossed over, back came only three.

 

Five old wizards, brought from lands afar;

Masters of strange magics, mages without par.

 

Four old wizards, rebellion they did plot;

Freedom from their lady's call, this is what they sought.

 

Three old wizards, siblings from the womb;

Far apart they do lie, each in their own tomb.

 

Two old wizards, married in the morning dew;

If one rises up, the other one will too.

 

One old wizard, dark queen's heir;

Many men she's led to death, with her looks most fair.

 

No old wizards, from sleep they have been led;

The Fallen have been loosed, and now we are all dead.
