The Four Fairy Lords and the Rise of the City

In the ancient times, when magic was rife,
There lived four fairy lords, each with his own strife.
They ruled their realms with cunning and power,
But never could they rest, for fear of the hour
When a new lord would rise, and challenge their throne,
The lord of the cities, with steel and stone.

The first was the lord of the mountain peak,
His name was Azurin, and he loved all things sleek.
He hoarded gems and jewels in his cavernous hall,
And taxed his subjects harshly, making them crawl.
He was greedy and vain, and he trusted no one,
He thought himself the brightest, like the midday sun.

The second was the lord of the forest green,
His name was Sylvan, and he had a temper keen.
He nurtured growth and life in his verdant domain,
But he also unleashed fury, like a hurricane.
He was wrathful and fierce, and he hated all foes,
He thought himself the strongest, like the mighty oaks.

The third was the lord of the swampy bog,
His name was Morvin, and he lived in a fog.
He fostered rot and decay in his murky land,
And he spread his malice, with a subtle hand.
He was cunning and cruel, and he delighted in pain,
He thought himself the wisest, like the serpent’s brain.

The fourth was the lord of the field of gold,
His name was Ceres, and he had a heart cold.
He reaped harvest and wealth in his fertile soil,
But he also sowed discord, like a snake in the coil.
He was proud and haughty, and he scorned all peers,
He thought himself the richest, like the golden ears.

These were the four fairy lords, each with his own flaw,
They feared and envied each other, and they lived by their law.
But they also feared another, who was rising in might,
The lord of the cities, who brought industry and blight.
He was hubris incarnate, and he dreamed of domination,
He thought himself the greatest, like the civilization.

I hope you enjoyed it. The rhyming is a little forced in certain places, but I do love the world building and the consistent themes.
