for everyone who is asking the series is the heralds of valdemar this is from the last book of a trilogy in the series i suggest reading all of her valdemar books i found them to be among the best books i ever read
This is Talia's series, talking about the third book in the series. The books are called Arrows of the Queen, Arrows Flight, and Arrows Fall. I loved them. You should definetly check them out, and her others as well! Her books are amazing!!
Yes, she's singing about books. Sounds like it's from the end of the Arrows trilogy, with Queen Selenay singing about Herald Kris and Queen's Own Herald Talia.
@Kunoichi713 I'm guessing it's Selanay, talking about what Harndorn did to Talia. (spelling might be wrong. It's been a while since I read the books. Arrow's Fall would be the book.
@AnnabellaChase This is Mercedes Lackey's series "Valdemar", mostly referring to the trilogy starting with "Arrows of the Queen", then "Arrow's Flight" and "Arrow's Fall". A complete list can be found on her website or wikipedia.
@abeoumbra I'm reasonably certain that this belongs to the Arrows of the Queen trilogy -- specifically, the battle in Arrow's Fall. There is some ambiguity, but various details point that way -- wanting to 'call the fires' herself (the firestarting gift plays a strong role), and his lies 'revealed to them *this* day' (in later books, Ancar's perfidy is established; it's in Fall that the establishing is done, hence present rather than past tense)
I'm Hellenic Pagan and someone made an offhand comment today about Hades that kind of stung. Thanks for posting this song, it's wonderful in its own right and right now it's nice to hear a song with the word 'gods' in it.
Read the books almost 10 years ago and immediately loved them. Always wanted to hear her songs put to music. This is the first I"ve heard and I know I will listen to the rest I can find.
What I wouldn't give to just chuck a freaking rock through his window but I know that wouldn't be the right way to go about it. I must control my anger towards him and wisely plot his downfall instead. >:]
have to say this is a beautiful voice that entices me to listen to more! *i am a bad romantic sorry* but the voice reminds me of what Celtic music should sound like. you and heather dale should get together imho.
When I first heard this song, I was like, "So, it's a king who is warring with an usurper who had tortured the princess?" But now I know what it's REALLY about, I like it even more :D
@phonixasz Nope. You could not be more wrong. It is Selenays song from the Arrows of the Queen Trilogy from Mercedes Lackeys Heralds of Valdemar series.
Cont. from last post: Evidence:Goldwing died and if she was human i think Diviara would`ve chosen her as his Herald.And Div is mad at the Network for killing Goldwing The song says:``The priests all say i must not hate but i will not pretend,i saw the wreck you made of her,my Herald and my friend.The scars u left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade,oh,would i had ur coward heart beneath my naked blade!``So Diviara apparently saw his wife dead and wants revenge.I can imagine that.You?
@WarriorHawkSpirit ok perhaps i'm totally reading your post wrong, but this song has nothing to do with anyone named "Diviara". Its about what happened to Heralds Talia and Kris from Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar tales, and how Queen Seleney wants to hurt the one that did it.
@wolffriendinus You are reading it wrong. Check out the devourer saga in battleon.com. Divi is a necromancer. The most powerful necromancer, and probably he was Zorbak the ebil moglins teacher. LOL. I have read the books about the stuff u talked about they were great! Btw i see you have to learn a lot about sibook hybridization. (site-book) Adventurequest+Valdemar tales= Mai comment. Goodluck on battleon, mah boi. I would give u tips on how to pwn that stoopid necronomoron reader, but im lazy.
@WarriorHawkSpirit lol ok that makes more sense, and I have my lazy moments too. For example, I didn't hit the button to read ALL the comments, so I only saw the last part of what you said lol.
@wolffriendinus Maybe u could lift ur bioluminescent bum & be less lazy? Oh, i gotta do tht too. Lets make tht our new years resolution or something.Imagine a Diviara Nyan Cat....then we`d all find out his big secret-he reanimates pastries!As a result of studying necromancy, he made a big cardboard copy of the Necronomicon,shoved himself inside it,got a buttrainbow and flew into space where he slit his wrists and died of blood loss leaving his wife & child to cry for him. Sadistic but still lol.
@wolffriendinus YES! YOU know.Not that there's anything wrong with linking it to something else that they enjoy,but that's not where it originated,as we both know.I LIKE this,I've READ Misty Lackey's songs but have never heard them sung.Do you know who's singing it?I know several people have recorded her songs,Leslie Fish among them,but it's been so long since I've HEARD Leslie Fish that I wouldn't know the voice if I heard it!
This song makes me thing of Diviara from warpforce even though ive read the series 100 times i feel so guilty sorry ms lackey! Because the Network killed his wife and almost killed his son and yes he wants vengeance.But yes total series deja vu. more Diviara deja vu though.as i said sorry ms lackey!
@AnnabellaChase As is said in the song.. she is speaking about how he betrayed their ancient alliance. They acted like they wanted to renew their alliance by marrying him and her daughter. However, it was a trick and he intended to lure her to the border, capture her and force her to turn over control of the country to him. As to the "wreck".. she sent her best friend and another Herald to meet with them.. he killed one herald and horribly tortured the Queen's Own.
@PyreCurse Not to mention killing his own father and all his loyal men. . . Which cost him the first battle. Ancar was a bad unintentional copy of Kiyamvir Ma’ar, Mage of Black Fire, who makes Voldemort/Riddle, the Wind of Death/Waste of Breath, look like Hriskis from Avernum 5.
Wow is this Herald Dirk or someone else singing? From the emotion in it I would guess that its supposed to be Dirk. Kris was his best friend and Talia his life bonded
Actually its Selaney Singing (the queen) about Herald Kris and Talia which talia is the Queens own.. Shes singing about how they killed Kris and tortured Talia and she is also singing about Revenge and the impending War on Ancar who is the one who killed kris and tortured Talia..
Every time I hear this I want to ride down from the hills and drive the crossed serpents from Albion, send the southern foriegners back to the filthy cities beneath Great Gaul. If only the three tribes would come together as a force united under a single banner we could restore the land to its former glory.
in old times a herald worked for a king, it was his job to know a lot about the nobles in the contry (like the fancy designs on a shield, a herald knew what they ment), he is the one you see in old movies standing by the door yelling something like: baron of "something" with wife ? and daughters ? and ?. ... bla. bla.
@kari2564once there was a good king, and he wondered if his son (and his son and his son ... ) would also be good kings. he prayd to every good he ever heard of, to make sure thatr the person on the throne (in the future)would be GOOD. the next day three (magically, fantastic, pure white) horses (called companians) met him, one of them looked him in the eyes and they became best/closest frinds ever. the kings son and the kings best friend (who at that time was a "normal" herald)
@kari2564 became friends with the other two horses. the king made a law that said that a king (or queen) had to be "chosen" by one of theese hoses. and since there can only be one king and one heir to the throne, other people who was "chosen" was calles heralds (after the king's best friend). the companiens only choose honerble, kind, just and ... people.
I may be a special kind of nerd but when I hear this song I think of Anastarian and Sylvanas. This would have to take place while Arthas was still marching threw Qual'thalas and right after Sylvanas was raised as a banshee. Anastarian being the one singing the song, of course, and not knowing he was about to die as well.
@mvzmvzmvz@mvzmvzmvz You can buy the songbook to Lovers' Lore and Loss from Firebirdarts (need to search, can't post with the web address). Or I assume you can, accidentally bought the book to Heralds, Harpers and Havoc instead of the cd so can't see any reason the cd this song is on wouldn't have one.

@1vampirekiss first book in the series is the black gryphon and takes place some 2000-3000 yrs before the founding of valdemar and the first book she wrote was called swordsworn, written in 1986 and published in sword and sorceress III, a fanzine i think. its a short story and you can find it in oathblood.
@nonjaxninja Mercedes Lackey is an author. This is a song written by her, about one of her characters. I've only read Exile's Honor and Exile's Valor so far. I think it would be amazing if it were her singing. But I some how doubt it is...
@FallenOne87 This song was performed by a lovely artist named Shandeen O'Neil. She recorded this many years ago. If you liked this one you will also love "Cost of the Crown". They are the only two she did for Mercedes Lackey. I am not sure what she is doing currently but she did have a group called Falls Road.
i think so it would make a good movie also ... this song isnt about kerrowyn its about talia and its selenay who is singing it when they first go to war with ancar.
Really like the music and the song and the pictures. Great work :)
A lil question: The picture with the woman and the raven around ~1:54, someone knows from where it is? Really love the picture but don't find it anywhere.
On the subject of half nude chainmail bikini style fantasy art; I find the pics used for this vid 'kind of' weird (massive understatement). Given that the character that the song is written for is blonde, and always dressed in white..... and instead we have the vampire-esque 'queen of the damned' pics >.>
Amazing! I had read all the lyrics of the songs along with the books--but this one had never interested me. Yet hearing it sung--wow! one of the best, and most expressive by far
@sonraditz check out "Cost of the Crown" it is also sung by Shandeen O'Neil. Heather Alexander and Lisa Thiel are two other artists who have similar music.
@madihwa Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.
It doesn't......Just seems as if the video is portraying it that way. I was just curious as to the possible origins of the music that I wasn't aware of.....
The origins of the music are from Mercedes Lackeys books, a series placed in a land called Valdemar. It begins with Arrows of the Queen. It's a wonderful series! This song & others like it can be bought at Firebird Arts & Music.
@Twisteddreamer78 The song reminds of the stories of Boudica, a tribal queen in Britain. Not real familiar about her, but know she practiced pagan religion.
@Twisteddreamer78 not really. It's based off of a series that Mercedes Lackey wrote. although, she has some songs that are loosely based on the craft. look up "draw the circle" thats a good one.
This song has nothing to do with Witch craft. This was the aftermath of the Queen's Chosen (first adviser) being kidnapped & tortured by the bad guys. The Queen was upset. This was the song as she goes to battle, although actually I don't remember her ever singing a song like this as she went to battle. Still; it would have been understandable & appropriate.
The Queen is singing about her adviser & closer friend, a young woman named Talia, having been tortured & almost killed by King Ancar. And, yes, she is a blond although her daughter, Elspeth, is a brunette.
I'm not certain of the exact book. It's a series. The first part of this particular part of the series (by Mercedes Lackey) starts with Arrows of the Queen, goes to Arrow's Flight, Arrow's Fall & continues with several more books till they finally defeat the bad guys. It's a wonderful series and has many wonderful songs accompanying the books.
You're quite welcome! Always happy to introduce someone to a new series of books. I wish I had that much success with my granddaughters. Sigh! Well, at least they read the Twilight series; so at least they're still reading. Other good authors who have excellent series are Marion Zimmer Bradley, Catherine Asaro, Anne McCaffrey & many others if you're interested. I've been reading for a longggg
Yeah, you know, even though the queen sang this song; really it should have been Elspeth singing it since she's the one with the magic & she's the one that went after King Ancar.
if anyone has read the elenium, this song basically sums up the feel of the series, pretty cool huh, it would make an exelent tv series(so long as it was done properly and they had decent SFX and graphics artists)
I know a few people I would love to play this song for. and a few that it suits quite well. thank you for posting it.

@nonjaxninja Mercedes Lackey is an author. This is a song written by her, about one of her characters. I've only read Exile's Honor and Exile's Valor so far. I think it would be amazing if it were her singing. But I some how doubt it is...

@FallenOne87 This song was performed by a lovely artist named Shandeen O'Neil. She recorded this many years ago. If you liked this one you will also love "Cost of the Crown". They are the only two she did for Mercedes Lackey. I am not sure what she is doing currently but she did have a group called Falls Road.

On the subject of half nude chainmail bikini style fantasy art; I find the pics used for this vid 'kind of' weird (massive understatement). Given that the character that the song is written for is blonde, and always dressed in white..... and instead we have the vampire-esque 'queen of the damned' pics >.>

@sonraditz At Firebird Arts and Music. This type of music is called filk.

@sonraditz check out "Cost of the Crown" it is also sung by Shandeen O'Neil. Heather Alexander and Lisa Thiel are two other artists who have similar music.

@madihwa Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

Just curiosity.
Twisteddreamer78 1 year ago
@Twisteddreamer78
The origins of the music are from Mercedes Lackeys books, a series placed in a land called Valdemar. It begins with Arrows of the Queen. It's a wonderful series! This song & others like it can be bought at Firebird Arts & Music.
madihwa 1 year ago
@Twisteddreamer78 The song reminds of the stories of Boudica, a tribal queen in Britain. Not real familiar about her, but know she practiced pagan religion.
sentry964 1 year ago
@Twisteddreamer78 not really. It's based off of a series that Mercedes Lackey wrote. although, she has some songs that are loosely based on the craft. look up "draw the circle" thats a good one.
michewoof 1 year ago
@Twisteddreamer78
This song has nothing to do with Witch craft. This was the aftermath of the Queen's Chosen (first adviser) being kidnapped & tortured by the bad guys. The Queen was upset. This was the song as she goes to battle, although actually I don't remember her ever singing a song like this as she went to battle. Still; it would have been understandable & appropriate.

The Queen is singing about her adviser & closer friend, a young woman named Talia, having been tortured & almost killed by King Ancar. And, yes, she is a blond although her daughter, Elspeth, is a brunette.

@madihwa May I ask what the name of the story is?
auran5 1 year ago
@auran5
I'm not certain of the exact book. It's a series. The first part of this particular part of the series (by Mercedes Lackey) starts with Arrows of the Queen, goes to Arrow's Flight, Arrow's Fall & continues with several more books till they finally defeat the bad guys. It's a wonderful series and has many wonderful songs accompanying the books.

You're quite welcome! Always happy to introduce someone to a new series of books. I wish I had that much success with my granddaughters. Sigh! Well, at least they read the Twilight series; so at least they're still reading. Other good authors who have excellent series are Marion Zimmer Bradley, Catherine Asaro, Anne McCaffrey & many others if you're interested. I've been reading for a longggg

Perfect summing up of Elspeths feelings after she learned how Talia was treated by King Ancar and his teacher, Hulda.

Yeah, you know, even though the queen sang this song; really it should have been Elspeth singing it since she's the one with the magic & she's the one that went after King Ancar.
