: ''This section is for other players to write in what their characters think of Gaklah. Please only write in if your character has met and interacted with him. I will reformat, edit, correct spelling, etc., but not change content.''

[[Blows and Flowers|This]], [[Evil Goose Yodel|this]], and [[Spider Soup|this]]. Besides those, there's ''at least'' three others that I didn't write. Surely the most widely-sung ogre in all of Avlis. (signed) [[PCs:Zor|Zor]]

There once was a giantess, so fair- 
-ly large. She had a heart which was soft 
as stone. She wanted an ogre 
to have as her lover, so him she courted 
with blows and flowers.

Blows and flowers 
Blows and flowers 
She courted him with blows and flowers

She lived in a lovely 
cold hole in the ground. She sent gentle poems 
that grated his ears. She'd 
kiss him and fight him, miss him and bite him. 
She courted the ogre 
with blows and flowers.

Blows and flowers 
Blows and flowers 
She courted him with blows and flowers

So he went to speak with her 
to say she was spurned, that the 
ogre she loved's heart wouldn't turn. 
But she couldn't be swayed, she courted him anyway 
with blows and flowers.

''"The bestest goblin bard ever!" -- Gaklah the Stone''

'''Description:''' Male goblin, slightly orange, appears to have more wit about him than most goblins. Zor is well-spoken, which most folks seem to find surprising.

==History==
Zor was born into a tribe of goblins inhabiting the northeastern wastelands of Mikona. Pretty early on, it was clear to him that [[The Goblin Life|the goblin life]] wasn't going to suit him very well. So when a travelling orc bard came through the area, Zor pleaded with him to go along. Turns out, the bard wasn't very good at barding, but he managed to teach Zor the bardsong before getting killed by spiders. Zor continued to wander until he found his way to Elysia where he has found a community of sorts.

Zor chronicles most of his experiences in song, so his personal songbook is probably the best place to explore his deeds.

Zor is a member of the [[Guild:ATU|Avlis Tower University]].

==Songbook==
[[Amar's Army]]. Written for Amar Amakiir, in honor of his practice of leading dozens of persons at a time off on adventures.

[[Cerryn the Stranger]]. An account of the very first thing that happened to Zor as an adventurer.

[[Dark Moon]]. Written in gratitude for some advice on barding and a gift of bard gear given one afternoon. Funny, people seem kind of nervous when Zor says he's going to write a song about them. They must be shy.

[[Evil Goose Yodel]]. Hrssa, a kobold druid, and Gaklah the Stone took Zor along to witness this.

[[The Goblin Life]]. People often ask why a goblin is running around in civilization.

[[The Ill-Fated Trip]]. An account of another misadventure.

[[Spider Soup]].

[[The Terrible Lass]]. This is true, just as written.

[[Truly Witnessed outside Elysia]]. Zor was standing around talking to someone when there was a giant flash of light and a mage crashed to the ground.

[[Two Bards Together]]. Zor hangs with Amwyl once in a while.

[[When Andrinor Strode]]. Zor's first stab at trying to sing some Avlis history. He hopes to do more. What [[Andrinor]] thinks about it, he hasn't heard.

[[The Wraith Came to Town]]. Kind of an elaboration of the events at the Elysian Towers grand opening party.

The wraith came to town 
Lights dimmed 
Waitress hushed 
The harp silent 
The wraith came to town 
All paused 
His partner cold, pale 
Fading
