“One man shall save the realm, six shall he gather,
One hero Albion’s hope, dark shall he scatter,
Long shall he search afar while hope betide him.
One man of noble birth, six men beside him,
Seven sentinels shall ride on the wind of battle...”

A spoof of Lord of the Rings by Andrew Marshall and John Lloyd.
