There appears to be a new ballad floating in the air around the Karavan lands - our reporter has obtained an approximate transcript, reproduced here for our readers. What this means, we can only attempt to guess, if indeed it has any more depth than a song to lull the children to sleep…

When Jena Comes

There will be light and laughter,
There will be joy and peace,
Atys will shine ere after
Crying and hate will cease

Oh yes, when Jena comes
Homins will sing her praise
Oh yes, when Jena comes
Her Sisters lead the way

For Jena killed the Dragon,
Jena brings hope from afar
One day she will fly again,
Take us all to distant star

Oh yes, when Jena comes
Homins will sing out loud
Oh yes, when Jena comes
Her Sisters stand so proud.

The goddess made all Atys green
A gift of grace to Homin kind,
And under root and over tree
Her glowing light of hope did shine

Oh yes, when Jena comes
Homins will kneel and pray
Oh yes, when Jena comes
Her Sisters mark the way.

Jena, now we cry to you each day
Across the hollow void of space and time
Return, forget not hominkind we pray
And send the Sisters to us, as a sign.

Oh yes, when Jena comes
Homins will hide their sight
Oh yes, when Jena comes
Her Sisters blaze with light.
