“Have you been the well one?”

Lys Vincrute 

Year 283 of the Second Age

 

As my darling niece asked me earlier this week, I hope you have all been the well. Though this missive is later than intended, the three submissions we were given in response to the libraries competition have been read and judged, by myself and Lyonwen Ilumrin, a boon to her family and wise beyond her years.

 

For the first of the two competitions, the submissions must be written in the tongue of their kin, and they will be passed through a chosen council for judgment. As the mother tongue is quite an arduous task to write with at length, the winners will be given a variety of gifts. Those who partake may write as they please, poetry, stories, or philosophy.

 

In first place, for the elven competition, we have Thaelyra Valmyr. A studious scholar  and one that brings pride to their kith and kin. Their entry was submitted as a missive, and being the only one of three to be in the tongue of our mother. It has been transcribed below.

 

"Ame’ito Llum"

 

Eyha ame’ito kae narne, llum ito taeleh
Ker ito enet, karin ito perith
Kae andria ito uhier, ut sirame ne divu

Valah laureh ito kae oment.
akaln ayal ito lae, liewyn ito sulii
Lae san ayla, lae mal’leh nor
kae perith, acal ne ayla

Lae eyr akaleh, lae vull kae’taeleh
Res taelu ito lae, lie ito san
Ullral ito taliyu, ata ito tayna

Kae eteh sul ito kae’leh
Asul ehya sulirrin tae kae
Ame ehya ceru, sirame ehya evar

Ullral eth
Akal divu
Sul var tae ame

Eyha kae narne’ento, maelu tayna
Lye ito ame."

Thaelyra Valmyr | The elPuerithn

The second competition will allow for a more willful interpretation of the aforementioned topics, as competitors will not be required to write in the elven tongue; they will have greater free rein. They may write stories, poetry, engage in a debate on philosophy through their writing or compile the history of elves as they’ve seen it. The victors of such are listed in order below;

 

In first place, Althanis with his account of The Fall of Haelun’or, he will be awarded the title of elParsaern. His entry detailed the beginning and fall in depth. He is deserving of first place for the work undertaken. Not only for writing, but seeking out peers that could aid.

 

Following him would be the kind Maeth Galdissiel, her entry depicted the virtues of our people.

For each of the entries, we are grateful. It is our hope, that these three souls influence the growth of their fellow Caurosians. 

 

Each entry will be found upon the shelves soon for the perusal of peers.
