The Horns of the Far Elf Realm

"The Horns of the Far Elf Realm" was an ancient ballad that told of a fabled, lost and forgotten elven kingdom known as Braceldaur.

Lyrics
"As I walked that grim battlefield forlorn I heard a distant, haunting elven horn Calling o'er high hills beyond the moon Calling from a land I'll find soon Braceldaur, where elves still stand proud Blowing their horns, sounding them loud Calling to thee, calling to me Calling to all who burn to be free Braceldaur, where the lost trails run Lost in mists, in shadow, in sun Land of beauty, land so green Bright and far in dreams I've seen Braceldaur, fore'er awaiting me Reached by paths I cannot see Soft blue mists, dark standing trees Darker eyes watching through leaves Find it I must In it I trust Braceldaur, my life I bind to thee."

Lore
In the late 14 century DR, this song became a favorite of the elf Tasar Taurntyrith, who would often murmur it while walking the streets of Waterdeep or while painting the door and wall panels that his parents sold in Taurntyrith Adornments. Eventually, he became convinced that Braceldaur was no mere fable and was determined to seek it out. To this end he befriended Thorauntur Szalmast, the proprietor of Old Winding Road Maps and Charts, so he could look over the maps that littered his dusty shop. When Thorauntur eventually died, Tasar found that the old man had willed to him a map of Braceldaur, which showed that it had stood in a valley long since taken over by the Moonsea.
