For the official Vanyel albums, you're SOL unless you find a torrent or something for most of it last I checked. Firebird Arts & Music screwed Heather on licensing, and seem to have essentially vanished. Alec (Heather's heir) doesn't have the license rights. Heather is gone. I heard this from Alec personally.
The truly awesome thing about this song is that each singer sings out of knowledge/experience - Kethry is Mage that was betrayed by her elder brother, Tarma is a literal warrior priest (Kal'enedral - Swordsworn), and Jadrek was an "ordinary man of the people" (Plotpoint :D) that suffered under a bad/treacherous king.
I understand that during one of their adventures Kethry battles another Mage who is felled by Tarma. I believe that she asks her god to spare Kethry's life or offered to take her place in the Havens
Cursed Oathbreakers, your honor’s in pawn And worthless the vows you have gone, Justice shall see you where others have gone, Delivered to those you betrayed ! These are the signs of a mage that’s forsworn- The True Gifts gone dead in his hand, Magic corrupted and discipline torn, Shifting heart like shifting sand; Swift to allow any passion to run, Given to hatred and rage . Give him wide berth and his company shun- For darkness devours the Dark Mage These are the signs of a traitor in war- Wealth from no visible source, Shunning old comrades he welcomed before, Holding not steady course If you uncover the one who’d betray, Heed not his words nor his pen Give him no second chance - drive him away- False once will prove false again These are the signs of a treacherous priest- Pleasure in anyone’s pain, Abused or degrading of man or of beast, Duty as second to gain, Preaching belief but with none of his own, Twisting all that he controls Fear him and never face him alone, He corrupts innocent souls These are the sings of the king honor-broke- Pride coming first over all, Treading the backs and the necks of his folk That he alone might stand tall, Giving himself to desire that are base, Tyrannous, cunning and cruel Bring him down - set someone else in his place Such man are not fit to rule
It's filk, a type of folk music that is about fantasy books or sci-fi! Leslie Fish, one of the singers in this song, is known in the filk community well. While a lot of her music that you can still find today on platforms like Spotify is mostly folk pagan music, there's still some filk music she's made that's open to the public. I know there's some on RUclips, but honestly I haven't went down too far the Leslie Fish rabbit hole, so I'm not the one to ask if you need help finding it exactly. I hope that helps somewhat though!
@@NightmarishAngel413 I would recommend you start with the Arrow trilogy (Arrows of the Queen, Arrows Flight and Arrows Fall) then read Vows and Honors...Both are available as omnibus editions in paper and digital (kindle, kobo etc)
These are the signs of a politician vile, Oh wait, there's just one: he breathes. Try to acquire an honest man's file You can't, 'cause they all are thieves. If you have plans to clear out this den Of vipers and cronies and crooks, Surely, you'll fail ten times out of ten, The task is much harder then it looks!
@Cian McCabe Honestly, multiple of the "oathbreakers" described in this song could apply to Trump. Even the Dark Mage, if you replace "magic" with "economic, social, and political power".
@@DoctorWhyDesignsi see where you are coming from. But the democrats (with the exception of a few, like Bernie Sanders) uphold their oaths to corporations. But the same is true of republicans. More so since they are STILL trying with trickle down economics. Not to mention….. Trump is a billionaire. And a convicted felon, who has been given the power to escape punishment by pardoning himself.
I hope this channel never goes down cause like idk where else id be able to listen to these songs
Some of them are on Deezer
leslie fish has a official channel

@@owenmcgee891 wow that really really sucks, do you know anywhere one could torrent this wonderful music because it doesn't deserve to disappear
I suppose you could download the audios from youtube while you still can?

Leslie and Heather were perfect choices, especially Heather. Nobody else like her, though Alec is her mirror image of course.
I understand that during one of their adventures Kethry battles another Mage who is felled by Tarma. I believe that she asks her god to spare Kethry's life or offered to take her place in the Havens
@@owenmcgee891only problem is that tarmas voice is suposed to be raspy and damedged, and her voice is just to good.
@@supergogurt2607 right, I'd forgotten
@@supergogurt2607 i understand that was because she half strangled when her clan was wiped out by bandits it probably left a mark on her neck
GLORY TO THE OATHTAKERS, PERISH OATHBRINGERS AND OATHBREAKERS
I knew that was Heather's Voice before I even looked!!! Excellent choice!!!
My GF is obsessed with the Valdemar books. I couldn't get into them, but I love all the songs inspired by them!
Cursed Oathbreakers, your honor’s in pawn
And worthless the vows you have gone,
Justice shall see you where others have gone,
Delivered to those you betrayed !
These are the signs of a mage that’s forsworn-
The True Gifts gone dead in his hand,
Magic corrupted and discipline torn,
Shifting heart like shifting sand;
Swift to allow any passion to run,
Given to hatred and rage .
Give him wide berth and his company shun-
For darkness devours the Dark Mage
These are the signs of a traitor in war-
Wealth from no visible source,
Shunning old comrades he welcomed before,
Holding not steady course
If you uncover the one who’d betray,
Heed not his words nor his pen
Give him no second chance - drive him away-
False once will prove false again
These are the signs of a treacherous priest-
Pleasure in anyone’s pain,
Abused or degrading of man or of beast,
Duty as second to gain,
Preaching belief but with none of his own,
Twisting all that he controls
Fear him and never face him alone,
He corrupts innocent souls
These are the sings of the king honor-broke-
Pride coming first over all,
Treading the backs and the necks of his folk
That he alone might stand tall,
Giving himself to desire that are base,
Tyrannous, cunning and cruel
Bring him down - set someone else in his place
Such man are not fit to rule
The priest line is giving me inspiration for character analysis of the pardoner from the Canterbury tales
Who else is here from *With This Ring,* has no idea what this is, but absolutely loves it anyway?
i keep trying to remember the words to this but i keep mixing up the signs for each traitor. still, wonderful song. thank you for uploading.
Amazing song!
Holy crap! This is amazing and accurate! Love it
Meaningful work Thank you
this album is the only time i’ve heard alexander and fish on the same song
Words to live by.
The man sounds like Commander William Riker from star trek tng
What is this genre called? I want more of these bangers!

And now I want to play an Oathbreaker Paladin...
Oh hey, glad to see you're also on here. Thanks for the song suggestion. I added this one to my "Mage: The Ascension" playlist.
@@Bluecho4 Your welcome! :)
Love it as always!
This fall for alot of people, this is so true I feel alot of people I no should look in the mirror
i love it!
You know... this song reminds me a lot about Alarak from Starcraft 2. All the symphtoms, and yet he is the one on top
Medieval diss track
God bless the ancestors
Anyone else think of Enrico Maxwell from Hellsing Ultimate when it talks about the "treacherous priest"?
Honestly, I was more thinking of Kotomine Kirei.
Any televangelist, or evangelical.
I think of Claude Frollo.
And thanks to you, when I listen to this song I think of Integra, Seras, and Alucard.
Oh my gosh yes!
can you put the lyrics again?
+twilightrealm49 Lyrics are back up in description
What's the lore behind this? Like, is there a series?
Yes, there is. It is the tie in for the book Oathbreakers by Mercedes Lackey. It's part of the Vows and Honors series but can be enjoyed on it's own.
@@SPofSaturnProductionOH HER!!! I've been neaning to read her stuff
@@NightmarishAngel413 I would recommend you start with the Arrow trilogy (Arrows of the Queen, Arrows Flight and Arrows Fall) then read Vows and Honors...Both are available as omnibus editions in paper and digital (kindle, kobo etc)
Lyrics have errors.
"Give himself to desires that are base" sounds like a simp to me
Donald J. Trump, I name thee Oathbreaker.
You sure about that now?
Seek absolution, o Nuremberg defendant
I join you in declaring Donald Trump Oathbreaker. Let his deeds be known and his debt come upon him.
So let it be named in three.
The law shall apply to all
What oath has he broken?
donald trump?
wWhole lot of them, but he is pretty obnoxious...
These are the signs of a politician vile,
Oh wait, there's just one: he breathes.
Try to acquire an honest man's file
You can't, 'cause they all are thieves.
If you have plans to clear out this den
Of vipers and cronies and crooks,
Surely, you'll fail ten times out of ten,
The task is much harder then it looks!
MegaMementoMori This is pretty good

Glad someone said it.
A song dedicated to Donald Trump, cool
More like the $1 billion candidate, Kamala Harris.
