Elven Proverb (shina)

To the women of our kind, youth eternal, beauty gentle.
To the men, years unending, strength unbeaten, skill now mastered.
To magicians of the age, endless power, ominous aging,
To the warriors of the fort, long life grant them, and luck.
To the scholars, not forgotten, not forgetting years of turmoil,
To the demons, peace not gentle, plagued, defiled cursed and dying.
To the Destroyer, not of us, mild mercy non-existant,
To the war, fast approaching, elf and man, clashing, dying.
To the lone one, rightful heir, leading devils, liberation.
To elves and men, to demons all, to the war where mortal and immortal fall,
To the both, for they will meet,
Mercy to those who suffer defeat,
Mercy to those who suffer defeat...
