Did we ever get any lyrics to our national anthem?
Well, yeah?
I saw some the other day, but I don't know if they were official or not. Nothing is stated in the Law- or Decreebooks, or in any decree that I looked through...
I quite like the idea of a wordless anthem. Shireroth is an empire, spanning over many cultures, languages, religions, philosophies, ways of life, and so on. How could we sum up Shireroth's all multicultural heritage in words? No, instead we have done that through music, through the interpretation of what Shireroth is for one of our most beloved citizens throughout time.
Onward Shireroth!

Re: Did we ever get any lyrics to our national anthem?
You're probably right, but when I asked this question (sort of), Scott posted these unofficial lyrics, and I love them myself.
Shireroth, the land of the nifty, hallowed by Gods and Fate
Where small clods of soil and filth merge into something great!
Shireroth, the land of the rebel, breaking from ways of yore,
Shireroth, the land of the noble, Death spare thee evermore!

I never really liked them...
Re: Did we ever get any lyrics to our national anthem?
And that's why I love it even more!

Apparently they're too Yardistani. I think that phrase is an oxymoron.

Then let's translate it into conlangs and sing those words. Nobody (well, few) will know what the mean, and it will sound all mysterious.

Or it could have several stanzas, but they're all the same thing but in a different language!

Contact Nick, he wrote the anthem. and he has the most fully fuctional conlag around. Yardistani.
Re: Did we ever get any lyrics to our national anthem?
If you only write it in Yardistani then you discriminate the other Duchies.

We should have more stanzas, but we need to keep the original somewhere.

*writes another stanza just for the halibut*
Bless the realm and Death spare the Kaiser; long may his strength increase
May he slay all demons of Balgurd, keeping the land at peace
May he slay all treacherous Babkhans, vengeance both just and swift
May he be both mighty and noble, bringing his people nift.

Two beautiful stanzas now!
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave.

What about for Kaiser Funerals/Emo Moments:
One of those Kaisers Die
Another one bites the dust
And those seven Yardistani Angels
