Hasten to Battle

Hasten to Battle is the national anthem of Darnussia. It was originally written in the Luthori language by George Marshall, a Luthori immigrant to Darnussia in 1812. It was translated and adopted as the national anthem in 1831 at the time when Darnussia was becoming a centralised nation-state.

Darnussia's status as a bilingual state has meant the national anthem has sometimes been a source of controversy between the two main linguistic groups over which one takes precedence at official events. Both the Darnus and Narik versions have equal status under the Darnussian constitution, and at sporting events, the entire song is sung through twice; first in Darnus, then in Narik.
