    Volos Guide to the North Wind by the Fireside So as you shiver in the cold and the dark, Look into the fire and see in its spark My eye Watching over you. As you walk in the winds whistling claws. Listen past the howling of the wolfs jaws. My song Comes to you. And when youre lost in trackless snow, Look up high where the eagles go. My star Shines for you. In deep, dark mine or on crumbling peak, Hear the words of love I speak. My thoughts Are with you. You are not forsaken. You are not forgotten. The North cannot swallow you. The snows cannot bury you. I will come for you. Faerûn will grow warmer, And the gods will smile But oh, my love, guard yourself well All this may not happen for a long, long while.
