The City of Gollema
‘One gold Tobran is the toll!’
Growls the ugly Grimney troll
For he stands alone at the city gate
A beastly creature filled with hate
With gloved hand outstretched to receive the gold
So give it now as you were told
For this creature in chainmail suit
Will not let you pass without the loot
Once you have paid you can venture in
Onto the streets of this city of sin
Once inside behind grey stone wall
You come across the first shopping stall
In a line with many more
With treasures strewn on cobbled floor
‘Buy my goods!’ The salesmen shout
As the shoppers look all round about
Buying gifts they do not need
From unusual clothes to magic seed
Then down the cobbled streets they pace
Passing many an unfamiliar face
Goblins, humans, Grimney elf
All parting with their hard earned wealth
For a thousand shops line each winding street
Each selling some fancy Grimney treat
From shields to weapons of the strongest steel
And then perhaps to Voramals for a hearty meal
The finest restaurant in the land
And to eat here you must be very grand
For the food that is sold is very rare
So for your money you must have little care
The sort of souls this place attracts
Have the Queen’s insignia upon their backs
Some even have the Golden Crest
Emblazoned upon an armoured chest
The finest Lords of the Queen’s Elite
Sit within on golden seat
The most legendary knights to march to war
The loyal instigators of the Queen’s strict law
