In the #writing of this poetry, I had to grapple with the difference between historical accounts and performance #poetry. While the poem/lyrics (if it's being performed spoken or as a full bardic performance) might sound nice when they rhyme, their historical accuracy...may not be quite there.

Now, certainly there are people who DO like to speak in rhyme in their day-to-day (I've not met any, but I've heard they exist!), we generally don't speak that way. This then led me down the rabbit hole of the Grand Archives, where the histories are recorded as accurately as possible with magic.
