  My submission…

  The sorrow takes hold,
  the sorrow drains,
  the sorrow devours,
  and only sorrow remains.

  “Sorrow’s Path was lined with the bones of those who had fallen to the futility of trying to cross through it, and yet, due to the monsters in the surrounding hills, it was the only ’safe’ route through the mountains.” – History of Terisiare

  For the Sorrow’s Path Contest:

  And travellers now within that valley,
  Through the red-litten windows, see
  Vast forms that move fantastically
  To a discordant melody;
  While, like a rapid ghastly river,
  Through the pale door,
  A hideous throng rush out forever,
  And laugh –but smile no more.

  —Edgar Allan Poe, “In the Greenest of the Valleys”

  Conley, Conley, Connley! Oi,Oi,Oi!

  I thought long and hard about what kind of flavor sorrow’s path brought to me, and I thought of a lone fighter weeping for the pointlessness of war. Since the path of sorrow was the road that few people tread, I thought of “the road not taken” by Robert Frost. Sure, flavor text is no literary masterpiece, but i ran with it. Sure this flavor text would require slightly different art….

  My submission:

  Two paths diverged on the battlefield
  and charging from both, a frenzied horde
  and be one fighter, behind my shield
  and knowing my attackers would not yield
  My sorrow and pain became my sword

• 

  YoshiOfADown on June 7, 2009

  Noooo Conley is out

• 

  Nathan (The Upkeep) on June 7, 2009

  Nooo! Conley lost! I thought he had it locked up…

  Good Job COnely
  I was there watching him make his first Top 8
  He did extremely well in the draft portion and for his first PT he performed amazingly. Only due to the bad luck as far as mulligans did he lose to Hebsky. However he is still a Pro to me so congratulations Conely WOods

  flavor text for Sorrow’s Path,

  “Awkward”

• 

  Psi(>) on June 8, 2009

  Well he is a pro fullstop, lol, pro points and monies make him one.
  But you are right, bad mull game5 a bit of an anticlimax to their match.
  Also, Hebsky did seem to draw the bant charm whenever he needed it.
  I also wasn’t sure why he kept looting with the obelisk vs Zac hill also.

  The path of thorns will guide thee through thy quest,
  to find the sorrow that entails eternal rest.

  Has both path and sorrow within + it’s kind of sad and downhartening like playing the actual card.

  Here is my idea for SP flavor text:

  “So, the Sorrow’s Path wasn’t that bad. That bridge was a little narrow, but still even if I fell off I don’t think I would die. What was with that weird guy turning that other guy to stone? Man, I bet turning to stone sucks way more than blocking a creature other than the one you originally wanted to. Hey, did you know that a small dragon lives somewhere near here? Don’t worry about him though, we don’t have flying and I’m pretty sure he does, so we wouldn’t be forced to block him anyway. Oh here come some guys with spears let’s tell them not to worry too much about the Sorrow’s Path.”
  -Fingor in his third conversation with Turgin
  from the Fingornomicon

  He told his master that didn’t want to work with dragons. The master gave him a lesson that would refresh his memory why he’s the slave, not the trainer.
