Men of Science [MoS] – Tarnished Coast
This may be the greatest thing I have ever heard of.
Ahem.
Ask any Skaald in Frostgorge and you’ll hear my name
Sword, shield and claymore are my claims to fame
I wear the blood of Risen like woad and paint
They’ll tell you all about me: Andreux Sainte!
I’m an eight foot warrior straight outta Hoelbrak
One wrong move and I’ll put you in a hole, bruh
Short hair, thick beard, muscles like a dolyak
I’m bold in the cold and I’m bringin’ the goal back
I got four-hundred weaponsmithing and it’s hella great
Armorsmithing too, son; my briefs are made of plate
Thirty points into Berserker so I get wicked mean
Drinkin’ outta kegs like they’re just canteens
Up in Fort T with my boy Trahearne
You wanna see a Warrior, watch and learn
Slaughter zombie dragons like it’s nothing new
My feats are elite and my fleets are Norn too
Showed the Mouth some famishing, the Eye some vision damaging
The dragon got a ravaging, I even started managing the
Frontline which was maddening cause everyone was panicking
But I’m a Sainte so pack your things cause victory is happening
((drops greatsword like a microphone, stares unsettlingly))

I want more of this
I find myself suffering from a sudden absence of wit and retort, and so I must instead defer to the wisdom of the masters to properly convey my thoughts to you.
I believe it was the immortal Slam City DJs who once said: Slam, bam, thank you ma’am / Get on the floor and jam / A ha ah
Sure the objects of these legendary wordsmiths’ prose may have included alien invaders and cartoons playing a rousing game of Earth net sphere with a tall, black fellow. Nonetheless, I feel as though their message easily carries its weight across the artistic boundaries.
Much as the Slam City DJs utilized driven poetry to invigorate movie-goers everywhere, so too must we embrace this ancient norn art as a medium with which to spread our legends.
tl;dr
wat chu got boy

Here’s mine…
You know it’s hard out here for a |P || |V| |P,
When he’s trying to get the money for the rent…
When the Cadillac and gas money’s spent…
Got a whole lot of kittens jumping ship.
What?
I’m the purple norn baby! I’m Silky™ smoooooth.
All you sucker MCs can call me Sire.

Thread of the year!
Something I just came up with after seeing this thread:
Cut down Issormir, now I’m to be revered
Justly named Slayer, the great wurm-flayer
A mighty ranger on the map, nothing escapes my traps
Or my wolf Nymeria, the best in all of Tyria
Often snatching Grawl in her frosty maul
Stained crimson by the kill, let her have it still
Defending Hoelbrak every night
While screaming, “Might makes me right!”
Putting arrows in flight at any who cause plight
So don’t let me catch you in my sight
Offering this simple phrase to those who would be praised
“I am awesome!”, as if my spirits needed to be raised.
Veyera – 80 Human Elementalist
Leader of the Ivorywolf Clan [Maguuma]
You know being big don’t make you dumb
This Norn engineer’s as smart as they come
King-sized turrets must be something to fear,
Flame,rocket,nets, and healing are all standard gear.
Playing it cool, surrounded by Sons of Svanir
I just call for a supply drop, And I’ll be grinning ear-to-ear.
Limited weapons and no swapping don’t bother me much,
When you can access to Flamethrowers, grenades, mines, and such
Huntsman’s a good craft for me and my spouse.
My guns are loud, her bows; quiet as a mouse.
I blast our enemies, Her bear eats their face
This couple is the pride of the whole Norn race.
-Mike Obrien
“We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills” -Colin Johanson
I was born in the land of the frozen North
Where we grew up fast and we grew up coarse
So I’m a bit of a slob and a bit of a brute
I get real mean when I miss the moot
But don’t let that fool you- I’m a kind guy
The kind who gets plastered and tries to fly
But Raven wouldn’t have me, Wolfguard tried to stab me
Leopards make me sneeze, and that fur is pretty shabby
So I turned to the last one that I could
…
All alone in the middle of the wood
…
She stood tall and proud and her roar was loud
I thought she meant to kill me but then she calmed down
Pawed on over and sat on the ground
Calm eyes stared into my soul without a sound
She welcomed me into her heart as a son
Ask about my mother and I’ll tell you she’s the only one
Bear was there for me, she loved and cared for me
Taught me to hunt and said her prayer for me
So on the day that I left I was sure to let her know that my legend was gonna grow
Now I leave my mark on the people, land and snow
It’s for her that I beat back every foe
Since Vikings respected people who were witty and sharp with their words, able to tell poetry and sagas to captivate an audience just as much as they appreciated a good warrior I find this idea fantastic! Keep them coming!
Not exactly slam poetry, but I couldn’t resist.
In west Hoelbrak t’was born and raised
On the keg grounds is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, remembrin to hit ‘dodge’
And brawlin’ with some kegs, out side the Lodge
When a gang of ugly Charr, who were lazy-old slobs
Started makin trouble in a city free of mobs,
I got in one big fight and Mom told me to “March!”
And that’s how I ended up livin’ in Lion’s Arch.
