## Physical description

### **Appearance**

He can easily be recognized as some sort of dangerous person that should be avoided by the suspicious looking welding mask that seems to have dried blood striped down it. What makes him a interesting person that would catch the eye of most people is that he wears a vault suit that is armored and a pip-boy on his wrist He stands at 6'2 feet and is well built making him a intimidating looking fellow. Without his welding mask he has messy dark brown hair that's shaved at the sides and tired brownish-green eyes with a rugged beard hugging his face and pale looking skin.

### **Personality**

Chopper is a man who does what he pleases when and how he wants. He can just like any other raider-type fellow out in the wastes and can be a decent guy when he feels like it. Though when it seems like he can already see the outcome of something he'll usually back out even Psycho won't stop him from backing out at times. Just like any raider, he's a sadist and loves to strike down pain and suffering on his foes with his barbed fire axe. He's quite the clever guy, but can be a little too open to people usually if it's a lady he's interested in. When on Psycho he's a bigger force than without to be reckoned with and will stop at nothing when under the influence of that drug.

### **Early Life**

Not much is known about Chopper's childhood other than he might have emerged from a vault somewhere in Iowa some 8 or 9 years ago or stumbled upon some unlucky Vault Dweller and stole their jumpsuit and pipboy. The only people who know about Chopper's childhood would be his close friend Clover and the group of raiders who traveled with him to Niagara.

### **Adulthood**

Chopper now is a accomplished raider who alongside his friend Clover and a group of raiders have arrived in Niagara finding themselves in Overpass separated due a mishap happening along the way. Luckily Clover and Chopper have reunited and now are holed up in a abandoned arena in Overpass.
Overpass

Location
 Inhabitants

Overpass is a scrap town on the northern side of Grand Island, next to Interstate 190 in New York.

**History**

Overpass was founded in 2273. It was largely unheard of for quite some time. The original founders of Overpass are largely forgotten, and are unknown to most of its current residents.

Over the years, Overpass has grown and expanded to be fairly sizable. They began trading with the Erie Caravan Company, in Erie, though otherwise kept to themselves, not wanting to be annexed by the Niagara Republic.

In 2277, the Dead Hand Raiders burned down a bar on the outskirts of town; the Damned Dame; which began a series of other raids and escapades to rat out and kill the Raiders, which pretty much all ended horribly.
Ontarian Liberation Army

The Ontarian Liberation Army is a Democratic civilization located in Southern Ontario.

**History**

The Ontarian Liberation Army is actually only such in name; a sort of homage to their ancestors, who fought the American annexation of Canada before the Great War. Those that survived did so in the isolation and solitude of the far North of Canada, where they remained untouched from the nuclear fire that rained down on the rest of the world.

So far as they are concerned, Canada is a sacred land. Though occasionally harassed by the hockey-geared gangs of the Great White North, they have few enemies. None so great as the Evil Americans to the South. Since the Great War, their ancestors have passed down stories of the horrible acts committed upon them by the American menace. As such, most citizens of the "Army" harbor a mix of fear and hatred towards America.

For the most part, they keep to themselves, though they have been known to offer aid to smaller groups in the wasteland. As far as post-apocalyptic civilizations go, this one is a fairly nice one. The people are mostly friendly, often having a sort of open-arms attitude, and live under a sort of light-touch democracy, headed by a Prime Minister, who is selected by the people of the "Army", and serves for a term of five years.

Though satisfied to remain on the Canadian side of the border, the Ontarian Liberation Army has sent several recon forces onto United States soil. As such, other civilizations, such as the Niagara Republic, have had contact with them in the past. As far as the Republic is concerned however, the "Army" as inefficient and powerless, as they do not share the same harsh system of brutal law enforcement and military doctrine as they do.

In 2264, the Ontarian Liberation Army launched a small military campaign against the "American Heretics" inhabiting Niagara Falls, led by Commanding General Orson Fischer. After a long, and drawn out battle, the two sides admitted a stalemate, and returned home, with a few utterances of "sorry" (at least from the Canadians).

Since then, the two factions have had a sort of uneasy truce, and continue to watch each other closely, and on high alert, just in case. As of 2277, neither side has really done anything, though.
Columbus, Ohio

Location
 Inhabitants

Columbus was the Capital of Ohio before the Great War .

**History**

Due to the heavy levels of radiation and the large number of mutants in Columbus, wastelanders generally stay away from it, unless it's for some high-risk scavenging. However, the foolhardy traders of the Summit Trading Company have set up shop in the ruins of one of Columbus's residential areas, dubbing it Summit City.

Bennett Devereux

Bennett in 2277

### **Appearance**

Bennett is a fairly tall man, and is more on the thin side. He has a round face, with some pretty thick eyebrows. His hair is short, but dirty and unkempt, and mostly covered with a bandanna. He has some thin stubble, but keeps it under control. There is a wooden peg in place of his left leg, usually covered by his pants and boots.

### **Personality**

For the most part, he's quite abrasive. Though he tries to remain professional, he's easily angered, and often butts into conversations. He can also be quite petty. He has a very fragile ego, and any remark could be enough to send him into a rage. He does value loyalty, even if he doesn't display much.

### **Early Life**

Not much is known about his childhood, aside from the fact that he comes from "Ronto", and that he came to New York in his early teens. He claims to have been active in a raider group prior to settling in Niagara, but that's anyone's guess.

### **Adulthood**

As an adult, Bennett had joined and eventually became the leader of the Sewer Rats, also recruiting Daniel; a decision beloved by all. During the events in Overpass, in 2277, he was allied with Wildcard and the Dead Hand.

Ironville, Ohio

Location
 Inhabitants

Ironville is a scrap town build to the South of Columbus. It is the capital of the Stonewall Republic.

**History**

The founders of the Stonewall Republic first claimed Ironville as their own in 2246. As the Republic grew, so too did the town. Walls sprung up around the perimiter of the town, and great plantations were built around it. Scrap buildings surround the town, home to the Republic's poor. Within the walls, shops and middle class homes sit under the shadow of a great manor upon the hill, home to the President of Stonewall.

Overpass Incident

**Location** | Overpass, New York

The Overpass Incident was officially regarded as the beginning of the War between the Brotherhood and the Niagara Republic.

The Incident began with a Niagara Republic expedition to the town, in order to clear out the raiders, and attempt to take control. While they were snooping around, voices began to play on the radio, announcing the return of two of Overpass' long-gone founding members. However, they were unrecognized, and their messages were construed as threats. They soon showed up, wearing full sets of T-51b Power Armor, and armed with Plasma weaponry.

Feeling overwhelmed, the Niagara troops, aware of the Brotherhood's tech hoarding ways, contacted them on the radio, and told them about the two Power Armor users with advanced weaponry. They quickly showed up in their Vertibird, and the search began.

For hours, the two factions swept the town, searching for the two mysterious men only identified to them as "Digits", and "Bulkhead". However, they could not locate them. As search results were fruitless, the two groups began bickering with one another. It became more heated, and several shots were fired. Not long afterward, the Brotherhood units captured the NDF field commander, and another officer, imprisoning them within their bunker.

Over radio channels, Brotherhood General Holland, and Niagara President Greene negotiated for the lives of the Niagara soldiers. Greene refused to compromise, and the two soldiers were executed over the radio.
Walsh Island, Washington

Location
 Inhabitants

Walsh Island was home to a small fishing village, North of Trident Naval Base.

**History**

After the Great War, Walsh Island sat largely untouched on the water, its long out of commission lighthouse towering above. After their defeat at Lakewood, and the death of their commanding officer, Walsh Island became home to the few remaining Enclave troops in the region, under a new leader.

The remnants on Walsh Island were very careful, and far more secretive than the first group. Though small in numbers, they carried out several large operations, including the bombings in Lakewood, and infiltration of the Brotherhood of Steel.

In the later months of 2289, Walsh Island was discovered by some of the residents of the recently founded Fresh Start. After searching the town, they found a fallout shelter in the basement of the lighthouse, in which the Remnants had been hiding out, though seemingly abandoned now.

Six people were in the party exploring Walsh Island. Of those, two remained aboveground. The others, who had been exploring the bunker, were startled by the main computer turning on. They were faced with the Remnant's Captain, who revealed one of their number to be an Enclave soldier. After taunting them, she activated explosive charges planted in the bunker, which exploded. Two of the three died, the third miraculously survived, and was treated by the others aboveground.

Walsh Island has since been abandoned.
Summit City, Ohio

Location
 Inhabitants

Summit City is a caravan-company-owned trade city, just North of Columbus.

**History**

Summit City was founded by the merchants of the Summit Trading Company in 2253. A long time nomadic group, the Company had spent their more than twenty years in operation moving around, buying and selling goods with the many other groups inhabiting the wastes. Eventually, they settled in the ruins of one of Columbus's outlying residential areas, and began trading with other groups in the region, including the Stonewall Republic.
Niagara International Airport

Location
 Inhabitants

The Niagara International Airport is an airport located to the East of Niagara.

**History**

Starting sometime in the early 2200s, the Niagara International Airport was claimed by raider gang after raider gang, and fought over for several years.

Around 2210, a Brotherhood recon force from Kansas arrived in the area, in search of advanced technology. They stumbled across the airport in their vertibirds; which they had captured from the Enclave some years earlier, around Chicago; and, after killing the puny little raiders that dared call it home, took it for themselves. It was a highly defensible position, and lent itself well to the Brotherhood's fortifications.

Since then, the airport has been home to all Brotherhood forces in the area, though they keep mostly to themselves, unless someone flaunts technology that they want. As such, none of the other groups in the region have gained such things as energy weapons or power armor, for fear of a Brotherhood raid.
Lakewood Massacre

**Location** | Lakewood, Washington

On March 28, 2289, an Enclave envoy by the name of John Davis arrived in Lakewood, along with an armed escort. Several townspeople met him just outside the town, near an old gas station. To the people of Lakewood, this looked like a threat.

After he'd left, a party of Lakewood citizens found themselves in Vault 53, which had recently been taken under Enclave control. They proceeded to slaughter the soldiers stationed in the Vault, and ransack it.

In retaliation, Enclave troops attacked Lakewood on April 4, 2289. A small assault team, led by the Colonel himself, struck at first light. During the attack, several citizens of Lakewood were killed. Father Abraham Sokolov of the Followers of the Apocalypse was captured by Enclave troops, and to be taken in for questioning.

Just as the battle was wrapping up, and the Enclave was preparing to pull out of the village, a Brotherhood strike team arrived on the scene, initially overpowering the Enclave troops with surprise attacks. At this point, several Enclave soldiers fled. The Colonel was captured by the Brotherhood elder, and the battle was over.

Hide

Hide ( Within Deadhand Raiders HQ )

### **Appearance**

Hide is generally an imposing fellow, though standing only at 5’9 this doesn’t really come from his physical appearance; Hides main imposing factor comes from his police riot gear which he always seems to wear.

The main attraction of this armour is the bulky air filter helmet that dominates the front of it, the helmet appears to be in good condition though on closer inspection you could figure out the majority of scratches have been sanded out of it. The shoulder guards are made out of metal with soft padding on the interior for comfort, the main body armour appears to have been opened up at some point; on the body armour there is a worn NYC Police badge.

Emerald City, Washington

Location
 Inhabitants

Emerald City is a trade city to the South-East of Seattle. It is owned by the Emerald Trade Company.

**History**

Emerald City was built in the ruins of an old township, whose name is unknown, by the founders of the Emerald Trade Company. It served as home to most of the region's merchants, and occasionally hosted slave fights, in which a slave might earn their freedom.
Mansfield, Ohio

Location
 Inhabitants

Mansfield was a town in Ohio, located between Columbus and Cleveland.

**History**

After the Great War, Mansfield became home to various constantly feuding raider gangs. The Stonewall Republic has tried several times to take control of the town, but without success. The downtown area is overlooked by a huge cathedral, which, according to some, houses a unopened Vault. Though a few attempts at opening it have been made, none have succeeded.
Vault 99

Location
 Inhabitants

Vault 99 was one of the vault series of fallout shelters designed by Vault-Tec, near the border of Ontario and New York. Nobody knows exactly when it opened, but it must have been a long time ago.

### **Construction and Purpose**

Vault 99 began construction in the Summer of 2068. It was built in a newly-annexed Canada. During the construction process, Canadian citizens unsuccessfully attempted to sabotage it.

Vault 99 was given no prepackaged food or food synthesizers, and was designed as a test of ingenuity as to keeping their existing food sources - twenty cows, thirty pigs, and one hundred hens, and a mule - going.

### **Early Days**

The food supply of Vault 99 was quickly diminished. Those that inhabited the Vault slaughtered the animals they were given within the first few years, though a few attempts to breed them instead were made.

### **Failure**

Without food, the Vault Dwellers had two options - starve, or eat one another. Those who refused to dine on the flesh of their fellow man tended to become food of others. This only lasted so long, however. The population of the Vault quickly dwindled, and those few who remained fought amongst one another for the last bits of flesh, by this time no more than raving lunatics.
Stonewall Republic

The Stonewall Republic is a highly militarized pseudo-Democratic city-state located in and around Ironville.

**History**

The Stonewall Republic was founded sometime in the late 2240s, by a group of slavers from the South. The basic idea was one shared by many other groups in the wastes: To create a governing body to give some semblance of structure to the wasteland. For the most part, this worked. The Stonewall Republic had a strong influence in Ohio, and controlled much of the southern half of the state.

Slavery was one of the strong principals of the Stonewall Republic. They looked kindly upon the practice, and in fact, the state itself practiced it. Groups of state slaves labored in large plantations, providing food for the rest of the Republic.

For the most part, other groups tended to leave them alone. However, they did have some interactions with a few major groups in the area. For many years they traded with the nearby Summit Trading Company; mostly food for other basic items, though occasionally, a few slaves were exchanged between the two.

Though the Enclave mostly kept out of their affairs, they sent several spies to the Republic, in order to keep an eye on them, despite them not really being seen as much of a threat. For several years, they worked under the nose of the local government. By June of 2274, all but one of them had been publicly hanged for suspected treason, though their true identity was never discovered. By this time, the Enclave no longer had a presence in the area, and the rest of the spies were lost, and lived out their days in the Republic.
Crimson Dawn Company

The Crimson Dawn Company is a mercenary company based out of Erie, Pennsylvania.

**History**

In 2256, a young Thomas Payne was looking to find his fortune. In those days, Erie was a lawless, desolate place, only inhabited by raiders and a few mutants. Along with several others, they worked to purge Erie of its old inhabitants. These men would become the Crimson Dawn Company, one of the two major mercenary companies in Erie.

After a while, with the assistance of other local groups, they managed to clean up most of the city. Now, it was livable, and the Company, now officially formed, began renting themselves out as guns for hire. For years, the Company found themselves the leading group of mercenaries in the region, and were becoming increasingly prestigious. Around them, the city grew larger as more and more people moved there. With the growing population came a growing crime rate, as well. As far as governments go, the Company was the closest thing they had.

Keeping the town free of danger was never their goal. However, it was not uncommon to see their operators stepping in to lend a hand every once in a while, and generally keeping the population in line. The large trading companies that sprung up in and around Erie paid lots of caps to hire Crimson Dawn operators as guards, and were rarely attacked.

Over time, the Company became more and more of a government organization, having a hand in most of the goings-ons of Erie. They began to split into smaller branches, such as the Sentries, Footmen, and Overseers. The Sentries were the Company's equivalent of a police force. The Footmen were hired out to private individuals and companies as high-priced mercenaries, and the Overseers wrote the laws and regulations of the company, and commanded the other branches.

In 2268, a sect of the Crimson Dawn Company split off, unhappy with how it was being run. They went on to form the Blood Fang Mercantile Guild, who became the leading mercenary organization in the city. The two companies were often at ends, and sometimes fought against one another in small skirmishes in the streets. This went on for several years before a pact was made between the two companies, which created an uneasy truce between the two. Since then, the city has been divided almost down the middle, with the Crimson Dawn in the West side, and the Blood Fangs in the East.

Notable Religions

This page summarizes the religions of some relevance within the sector.

## The Syncretic Faith

> "Learn your truth through observations and self-inspection. Prove you are making this universe a better place for others."
>
>

The official religion and government of the TL2 worlds of Dulabi, Canache, and Saraphis, located along the Spine. Large local followings are found on the worlds of Shafaq and Nekane. Its traditions are reputed to date back to the old Terran religion of Dineticism, along with claims that Thevans invented the slipstream drive. The faith is heavily influenced by a military hierarchy, with equivalent ranks earned by the believer's actions.

Widely regarded as a brainwashing cult by others in the sector. Not directly opposed by any other large religion, primarily as its influence has been limited to the backwater planets.

The Cobalt Alliance has uncovered intelligence suggesting that the paramilitary wing of this faith has limited access to TL5 tech, such as cloning, mecha, and AI.

Known Thevans: Commander Crisanna Canzales (captured on *Peter & The Wolf*), Commodore Juan Atropellar (leader of the temple on Dulabi), The Admiralty

## The Divine Chosen

> "Psionics are a blessing from the Almighty to mark those Chosen to lead humanity."
>
>

The official religion of Minguet. The faith is based off of a rigid theocracy, where psychics are not to be questioned or disobeyed for any reason. The doctrine recognizes the divine right of psychics to rule humanity, and was established in 3182.  The Liberal 8 leaders are referred to as the founders, with other psychics below them as Elders and Acolytes.  The religious police wear the reserved color of white while the Chosen wear gold.

Directly opposed by the Pimental Academy, and by the Cobalt Alliance who together are pursuing a policy of containment.

Known Chosen: The Liberal 8 Founders (Pimental trained), Alicia (Chosen trained), Clara (Pimental trained)
Air Force

The Air Force is one of the branches of the Enclave forces.

The Air Force is made up of verti-assault teams, which deploy troops on the battlefield, or garrison Enclave camps. Each Vertibird is outfitted with various weapons, including Gatling-lasers for anti-infantry use, missile launchers for dogfights and area attacks, as well as mini-nukes for bombing runs.
Battle of Northpoint

**Location** | Northpoint, New York

The Battle of Northpoint was the last major battle that took place in New York, between the Brotherhood of Steel and Niagara Republic during their yearlong war between 2277 and 2278.

Sometime in late October, Niagara troops began infiltrating the town of Northpoint, to the North of the Niagara International Airport. Their goal was to establish a vantage point on the Brotherhood's activities, as well as to create a potential staging ground for a full assault of the airport. However, they were quickly found out, and a counter-assault was mounted on the town by Brotherhood forces.

The battle lasted several hours, largely drawn out by the fact that the town has only one entrance: a very narrow bridge to the South. Niagara troops guarded it carefully, and managed to kill a large number of Brotherhood troops before they finally broke through. Once they did, however, the battle was a bloodbath. Niagara soldiers, as well as most of the residents of the town were massacred, and blood flowed through the streets. Many Brotherhood troops also perished in the fighting, and though they lost far fewer men, their losses were considerably large, considering their small numbers.

By the end of the battle, almost all of the Niagara soldiers had been killed, and though one or two escaped with their lives, it was considered a complete loss. Since the battle, Northpoint has been completely abandoned, save for the occasional caravans that still stop there to make camp.
Markus Laurel

Laurel in 2278

Markus Laurel was a wastelander in 2278, and one of the founders of Overpass.

### **Appearance**

Markus is a giant of a man; tall, and muscular. He is a rather imposing form, overall. His face is very boxy, and is creased by thin lines of newly forming wrinkles. If he had hair, rather than a shiny (though leathery) bald dome, his hair would be a lighter shade of black, with touches of grey shining through. This is apparent in his facial hair, however.

### **Personality**

He is often quite quiet, and will generally not speak much unless spoken to, especially to those unfamiliar to him. When he does, his speech is gruff, and often composed of short sentences. However, he has been known to show a great deal of compassion, and an understanding of others' plights, though he will oft not act upon them, especially if they conflict with his interests, or those of his allies. Laurel is a very loyal individual, and is quite unlikely to betray those close to him.

### **Early Life**

Laurel's life before he arrived in New York is unknown.

### **Adulthood**

Laurel, along with several others, founded Overpass in 2273 for unknown reasons. Since then, they have disappeared. It is unknown where they went, or why they left.
Richard Cauldwin

Richard Cauldwin was a Colonel in the Enclave military in 2289.

### **Appearance**

Cauldwin is a man with a somewhat tall stature, though not an imposing figure to shorter people, due to his lanky form. Upon his pointed chin, and along his cheeks runs a trimmed beard. He has a pale complexion, grey eyes, and brown hair, which he keeps combed back. He wears the thick tan overcoat of a higher ranking Enclave officer, and has a pair of glasses perched upon his nose.

### **Personality**

His personality seems to change greatly depending on his company. Around his men, and those he trusts, he is a kind soul, though maybe a little disconnected. Among others, he is more stern, often displaying little emotion in order to keep his stratagems under wraps.

### **Early Life**

Cauldwin was born at Navarro, California in 2240. At two years old, his parents moved him East, with other now displaced Enclave forces. He grew up under the watchful eye of soldiers, learning to fight, and having his head filled with the teachings of the Enclave. As soon as he came of age, he was drafted into the Enclave military.

### **Career**

Becoming a soldier in the Enclave was never an option. It was a responsibility, given to him as soon as he opened his eyes for the first time.

Richard's early career was spent as a shocktrooper in Chicago. For the most part, it was quiet. Sometime in 2266, he and a number of others were sent West, to establish an Enclave foothold in Washington.

For twenty three years, he worked at the Rainier Mountain Complex in Washington, east of Seattle. During this time, he slowly rose through the ranks, eventually finding himself in command of the regiment, after the previous commander died of stomach cancer in 2276.

As a base commander, he was a fairly lenient man. Because they were so far from the rest of the Enclave, his regiment differed from most Enclave outposts in a few ways. They interacted with the outside world more, even recruiting soldiers from the native population on a few very rare occasions.

### **Death**

In 2289, Cauldwin sent an envoy to Lakewood, in order to recruit from the townsfolk to replenish the diminishing ranks. Following a misunderstanding, the envoy threatened the town, and returned to base. The townsfolk raided an Enclave-held vault, slaughtering several soldiers in the process. In retaliation, Cauldwin led an assault on the town, resulting in the deaths of several townsfolk, with no Enclave casualties. As they were rouding up their prisoners and preparing to leave, a squad of Brotherhood Knights ambushed them, along with several representatives of the Emerald Trading Company. Most of the Enclave soldiers either ran, or were killed. Cauldwin was captured by the Brotherhood forces, and taken to Trident Naval Base for questioning, where he was later executed by the Brotherhood Elder via shotgun to the face.

**Poem to a British Soldier About to Die** by Ciara Aine

The young British Soldier and the fine Irishmen.

The British Soldier was guilty,

The Irishmen seeked for equality, democracy and freedom,

He wasn't filthy,

Everyone needs him.

The Irishmen never hurt anyone,

But his beliefs made him act wrong.

He killed the Young British Soldier

To make the Irish people stronger.

Poetry

**Chapter 8:**

- Phonecall by chuckie -> gathering in a yuppie bar

- Chuckie "betrays" Jake -> 'An Evening of Irish Poetry Tonight' (p.172)

=> Jake and his friends mostly 'vulgar' (p.172) <-> poetry complete opposite

- Jakes charakterisation of Shague Ghinthoss:

-> looks like Santa Claus

-> is writing about frogs, hedges and long-handled spades

-> vaguely anti-English Catholic

- After Max passes by a new book to Jake he replied:

-> 'according to whom' -->gramatical

=> Jake makes fun of the poetic-language

- When jake starts reading a poem

-> Chuckie's face passed by satire

-> Donal pedagogical expression

-> Jake clears his voice before reading

-> While reading: He replaces words with 'blah'

=> Chuckie and Donal embody prejudices

=> Poems have no sense

- Jakes charakterisation of normal poets:

-> twats in poetic clothes

- 'Twats' have the same reputation as Shague Ghinthoss

-> Shague Ghinthoss is from the land

-> Other poets are just 'city boys', which have never seen the real nature

- One poet starts reading a poem (Poem to a British soldier)

-> Jake recognizes the poet

-> describes him as a guy who has no social skills

=> Fine language didn't help the poet in social situations

- Shague Ghinthoss starts reading a poem

-> Jake describes it as a geography field trip

=> Jake shows the huge differnece between poets from land and poets from city

- Poetry scene ends abruptly

Has clumsy love

Looks chaotic
What´s her face

**A Poem to A Soldier About to Die.**

There was a man, he was so young.

You can't imagine what he's done.

At home: two children and a wife

You wouldn't think he took a life.

His life was perfect i can tell

And now he won't be in a cell

He was an irish man you know

His skin was brighter than the snow.

And when he saw the british soldier

He felt his heart was getting colder

He took his gun and fired one

The british soldier, he was gone

But it wasn't really sad

Since the english man was bad.

Now there's still one question left

Why was the young man shot to death?

The british tried to steal the other's life out of jealousy.

While the irish just tried to be happy like you and me.

Don't look for reasons why to fight

Alone the life and peace are bright.
Hazal

**Homeland, Wonderful Homeland**

Look, the birds are flying home,

Like mighty dragons above the sky,

The dark blue river`s whooshing foam,

Wonderful homeland, aye!

Try to see it, saighdúir?

Hear, soft sonority is flattering ears,

Out of chirping birds’ beaks

Far away from traitor- fears

Reaching the tree`s highest peaks.

Try to hear it, saighdúir?

Feel, the gentle breeze`s frostiness,

Refreshing life’s ember

Surrounding all bodies like a dress,

Every single nature`s member

Try to feel it, saighdúir?

You have not seen world`s beauty yet

But chose the gruesome grave instead,

Taking my home, my child, my breath,

Sir, you gave yourself your death.

**Sile Ó Loingsigh**
