White Plume Mountain

A thousand years ago a wizard had his hour
The warlords of the north surrendered to his power
And all across the land he let a madness take control
Wicked and fantastic apparitions took men’s souls

As he took the throne Keraptis made one more decree
Every third child you must render unto me
At these words the people sprang like beasts out of a cage
All as one they marched and took up arms against the mage

Seeing the battle had been lost Keraptis vanished in the air
But rumors say he hides and schemes away where none will dare
A maze where fire runs like water flowing from a fountain
The haunted deadly peak they call the white plume mountain
