The Lament of the Drow


Recommended Posts

Upon the bark of four trees and across the faces of four stones in the westerly forests of Almaris, beyond the perimeter of Amathea's destruction, an obscure dark elven myth was carved for all to see.

 


The lament was written in Vel’lua.

 

 

Aez Helunel a’vallu

Rentu uhv’velul mayh a’tom a’tynahn

Moryum keenu uhv’velul taeleh 

Kerel a’garn uhv’velul tahel 

((Translations are for OOC convenience. Characters who cannot read Vel’lua would require a translator))

 

The First Mother wept

For her wisdom was lost

Madness plagued her mind

The Dark gnawed her heart

Dunr gel a’tom amulel 

Aeth uhv’velul urezd, Zanunder

Kyorl aeth uhv’urada szir, ohk bo Kerel 

Ygne a’kehel su’uz, zy ura yhrl maga 

Valunule bo barael akaeleel 

Such too was the fate

Of her brother, Zanunder

Afraid of his kin, safe in the Dark

War raged above and he hid below

Wailing away in the bowels of the world

Dunr Velulaeiya a’valun hru aylko bo kerael

Velulaeyael a’baga uhv’velul vallumzh

Xabyth Ythur a’aher velul thet’uzhel kix

Velul onnyzh a’yx a’ake zy uhv’sha mayh a’akyn

So Velulaeiya wept like a beast in the night

The Moon kissed her tears

Pale Light gave her peace

Her children were healed and their wisdom restored

Maehrel a’yx vaex, zimaru lu Velulaeyael 

A’hyle me uhv’zeb Ythur, a’aehg vol azt vou

Ulyth vyn bo kerael, axan Zanunder

Durn verbhk hru nahgel, aza a’tynahn bo megeel 

The Maehr were renewed, tranquil with the Moon

Saved by its Light, made whole once more

All rejoiced in the night, spare Zanunder

Grey skinned like the rest, but lost in the deep

Ura a’uvad syex uhv’Velulaeyael baga; uhv’urada taeleh atish a’hexe

Megeyr ura a’ukh, b’al uhv’Nemysae nemy-volry

Vel a’nork uhv’urada enro zy mebe a’nork uhv’urada tayna

Zy uhno lyhn a’vaen bo ux uhd’nemys magara

He felt not the Moon’s kiss; his mind remained stained

On deeper he went, into Nemiisae’s web

She took his blood for her own and then took his life

And a new race was born in that spider’s cave

Sha a’yx Moryel, a’ygnere me Ythurel 

Zkor onnyzh aeth Ker; sha a’yento syex Velulaeyael 

Maehrel sha a’adry, norkule voon ben rothezh 

Ylu’um my Mory’kuessyrel.

 

Sha ern syex tom a’hyle

They were the Deranged, burned by the Light

True children of Dark; they knew not the Moon

The Maehr they loathed, taking many as slaves

Woe to the Mori’quessir.

 

They cannot be saved

Haunting purple stares upward, to towers caked in silk. The Azulite hisses out ever softly. Eyes shifting back to the message carved onto bark. Freedom could never be achieved. From Luara, to this putrid Nemiisae. In rage she left, keeping low and towards the ground. Seeking passage towards the south.
