I love the mercenary company that was known as the Sunhawks. I could never write about them so will definitely create my own as there are all kinds of groups waiting to be created. However this tale is a favorite and I would love them to be a part of the bard's collection in this universe we are writing in. The story is about a princess from a neighboring country leaving and forming her own mercenary band. She dies and the revenge they take is amazing and complete.

Idra was a princess – your elder sister she
With golden jewels aplenty, she had sugar cakes for tea
She left them for a solder’s life, preferring to live free
She learned how best to win a war and formed a company
She called us all her Sunhawks and taught us how to fly
At soldering we were the best that silver and gold could buy
We drink to Captain Idra, the leader of our band
We’re proud to be her Sunhawks, every woman and every man
We fought for Captain Idra; ‘twas for her each castle fell
We followed her to battle and we followed her to hell
Until the day she had to choose between you for the throne
She sent us back to Hawk’s nest and flew onward all alone
We waited through the winter but heard from her no more
We sent two of our best to find the captain we adored
They found your brother banished, they found you on the throne
And what you did you Idra we found out on our own
So sit upon your golden throne, contented in your dream
You’ll awake into the nightmare when you hear the Sunhawks scream
Run while you will Oath-breaker; you’ll wish you never were born
By priestess, mage, and common man, you’re thrice declared foresworn
[music interlude]
Dressed as merchant, priest, or beggar, we’re coming now for you
And the one who guards you’re life is yet another Sunhawk too
We seek revenge for Captain Idra, the Sunhawks seek their prey
And justice is our by-word and our swords spell judgment day
Yes, justice is our by-word and our swords spell judgment day!
