THL Sofia Tyzes called Zsof of the Midrealm singing her song One Under the Dragon that she wrote during the reign of Lutr & Tessa. Recorded on October 3, 2009 using a Flip Video camcorder. Szof says about the song "I wrote it when my Laurel asked me to write a song about how horrible war is. I started working on it and then was inspired when Lutr regained the throne for Tessa. Unfortunately (for my Laurel), the song took a turn and became instead a song of the might of the Midrealm. Count Alaric asked if the song could be used by the Dragon Scales, a Midrealm fighting unit, as their song, which I readily agreed to."

Lyrics:
Rumbles round the kingdom meant the time had come for war
We put away our pitchforks and sharpened every sword
Marching off to battle my weapon by my side
I leave behind my children, my homestead, and my bride
And we are one under the dragon we are one

Chorus:
I will fight for my King and for our Queen so fair
The people of our kingdom and the land that we all share
For We are one under the dragon we are one.

Archers pull their bowstrings taut, the forward lines advance
I hear my captain calling stand strong now here's our chance
My hand is shaking on my shield excitement fills my soul
My brothers stand around me and I know I'm not alone

For we are one under the dragon we are one
(chorus)

Our unit pulls together as the enemy draws near
My heart is pounding in my chest, blood rushing in my ears
We form a solid shield wall spearmen take the field
The dragon strong within my breast I know I shall not yield

And we are one under the dragon, we are one.
(chorus)

Our armies crash together in a surging wave of steel
Thunder fills the valley with the clashing of our shields
swords reach out to claim our foes, we feel our marks hit home
We'll fight together side by side until this battle's won

And we are one under the dragon, we are one

At the sounding of our battle horn, the foe does fear and flee
My King cries out "Come Midrealm, sweep on to victory"
We vanquish all our mighty foes, our hearts filled with pride
Children of the Dragon, rejoice for we're alive

For we have won under the Dragon, we have won.

(Chorus)
