			== Battle Songs of the Blackhawk Brigade ==
			The following songs were written especially for the Blackhawks during the onset of the Drotid War. The half-elven bard, Mahera Trellewin, graciously wrote the two songs, and personally performed the debut of both pieces to a gathering of officers and soldiers. The songs can still be heard to this day, sung with rowdy enthusiasm in the barracks of both Finmaegen and Derrington Keeps.


			'''Sound the Trumpet'''

			Sound the trumpet soldier, we'll sing another song,

			Sing it with a spirit that will rally M'Chek on!

			Sing it with a will, let your voices ring out strong,

			While we push back the Drotid.


			Huzzah! Huzzah! Sound the trumpet call!

			Huzzah! Huzzah! Rally one and all!

			So we'll sing this chorus from Finmaegan to the sea,

			As we drive out the Shaahesk.



			The slithering lizards said, in their brazen boasts

			"Thosssse puny warmbloodsss, they will never retake the coasssst!"

			But they did not reckon on such tenacious M'Chek Folk.

			And so we will drive out the Drotid.



			'''The Blackhawks of M'Chek'''

			We're the Blackhawks of M'Chek, we're brave without a doubt!

			We've pledged to do our damnest to drive the Drotid out.

			And what all do we get for this? Seven pints of stout.

			You won't forget the Blackhawks of M'Chek!



			We'll march along the dusty roads till we can hardly speak,

			Into Verrossa's rain and storm, we'll seldom stop to sleep.

			Then fight for forty-eight hours a day and fourteen days a week.

			Why? Because we're the Blackhawks of M'Chek!



			You're welcome in the Blackhawks if you know how to fight.

			We've rangers here from the Way, and heroes from Redgate,

			We've ganoom and ogre mages, and dragonslayers full of might.

			Don't forget that we're the Blackhawks of M'Chek!



			We're the toughest gang of soldiers that you will ever meet.

			We'll work or fight near anywhere, from the beaches to the Keeps.

			We'll take the fight to Drotid's swamps, until they cry defeat!



			Remember us…

			Don't forget…

			You won't forget!

			Remember us, the Blackhawks of M'Chek!

			The 1st Battalion is quartered in Finmaegen Keep, while the 2nd and 3rd Battalions maintain their barracks at Derrington Castle. This placement of his major command elements may appear cumbersome to some within the M'chekian military, but Brigadier Beign prefers this arrangement as it allows Blackhawks the ability to deploy rapidly throughout M'Chek should the need arise.
