Euthora's Song Translation Project

Proper English Original Drakine Literal English

Around a star in blackest space
Spins a stone, a barren place
Twin moons light the twilight sky
The daylight sun is blazing high

Of two guardians, each work apart
To form the world, their sacred art
Oceans spread and flowers spring
Beasts roam among everything

Birds sing tunes to greet the morn
The sun rises, new life is born
But howling wolves warn of the moon
A primal fear their songs impugn

Dissonance soon takes its hold
A clash between the warmth and cold
An angry god, defending light
Wars with the one who holds the night

Bursts of light flare in the sky
Cowering, no bird dares fly
Divine wrath tears up the ground
A rumble of thunder, the only sound

Soon they stop, soon they pull back
The stone could crumble at one more crack
Horror quells their heated anger
At putting their world in danger

A compromise forms a solution
As each hopes for absolution
From each god, two spirits are born
Called forth to settle the feud forlorn

But a chance these spirits see
As they know how their world could be
If they work together of free will
No feud to settle if none wish ill

"Rebuild the world to make it new
If you help me, I will help you
Our creators' feud is not our own
The world needs our unity known"

And so their work, the spirits do
Creating life to start anew
Each taking pride in their creation
To make it worth a god's cessation

The fire spirit's blazing bird
Could never die, it was assured
A flying wolf, from she of wind
Great wisdom to now ascend

To walk the earth, a beast called "man"
Raise sprawling cities across the land
And water's child, a shifting beast
A fluid change to hunt its feast

It cannot work, they realize
If each makes one, then teamwork dies
They see they cannot work alone
And ignore their goal, their unity thrown

As each gives strength, a creature forms
With blade-edged teeth and ivory horns
Coated with the strongest scale
From deadly claws to powerful tail

Wind spirit gives her gift of flight
Earth gives his strength and vicelike bite
Water adapts- a supple frame
And fire's pride: his gift of flame

The creature forms, though not yet done
A spirit's efforts had worked as one
A divine gift from warring gods
Sense and valor to surpass all odds

Loosed on the planet, this newborn beast
Onto the land, a jewel released
Unified creation with no visible flaw
To hold the world in its claw

Falling back, energy to conserve
The warring gods wait and observe
All know the path that they have set
With years to pass before they fret

Their perfect beast must overcome
Challenges to they named "dragon"
The gods wait for the path to go wrong
And so they sing Euthora's song.

Ita rairi arakári, sedká ait kor
I zieli tsiçá, netaiu vér
Tar reíu arsedaiçu etati-ait rai
Ita kiri, memiri kor miçaça

Kousei, ait volu ait zieli jiertiu

[...]

Di va makait roatatiu, Euthora-Roul.

In darkest space, under the sun
A stone there is, empty void
Two moons rise into the dark
By day, glowing sun burns

Separate, the gods the stone work

[...]

So they this name, Euthora's Song.

The following is the introduction of the roleplay, posted on the profile thread:

Their perfect beast must overcome

Challenges to they named "dragon"

The gods wait for the path to go wrong

And so they sing Euthora's song.

~-~---~-~

Euthora's Radiant Era was a time of relative peace. Humans worked to build their sprawling cities across the landscape, under the watchful eyes of the most powerful mortal beasts on the planet: those dragons granted the title of Tiirenkári, Skykings. Rightful rulers of the sky, these dragons lorded over large areas of land called protectorates, protecting and guiding the humans inhabiting the area in exchange for the population's loyalty. Though many Skykings did not require it, offerings were common, groups of humans coming up to the Skyking's altar with gifts of meat, metal, and wine. With dragonkind protecting their thralls with claw and fire, the Radiant Era was arguably the peak of Euthora's peace, the pinnacle of harmony despite only being the first era.

But absolute power corrupts, and not all Skykings were peaceful guardians. Through an ability-like affinity with dragons known as dracomancy, some humans were able to communicate with or even control their rulers. Known as masters to their dragons, these humans could even form a bond as powerful as the one Skyking Shyr himself had as the first dragon- binding the dragon as a Familiar, the master and the dragon equals and ever loyal to one another. Familiar to one of these dracomancers, Stormcloud Firedrake Súndávr, ruler of the Teílos Range in southwestern Forvolrasuls, aided his master in a daring crusade.

The takeover of Euthora via the control of all of the planet's dragons.

Ultimately thwarted by Shyr himself and sealed away after an intense battle, Sundávr and his master still left quite a mark on the planet. Dragons were feared for their raw power, dracomancers distrusted for the havoc they could wreak. The creatures that once ruled with peace soon were mutinied against, facing minor rebellions that their arrogance could not understand the cause of. A few individual Skykings were able to quell the uprisings and once again make peace with their thralls, but many more were forced to enforce their rule with fire and brutality, or were simply killed in the struggle.

But now the Skykings that could not resolve the rebellions peacefully are all gone, and with them the Radiant Era comes to a close. With only two known living Skykings remaining- Skyking Shyr and his son Ausurath- the Dissonant Era comes with the persecution of the lesser dragons. And because of the species' inherent aggression and affinity with destruction, the True and Stormcloud Firedrakes have been driven to the brink of extinction. As if in response, the True Firedrake has given rise to several subspecies via interspecies breeding, but their volatile cousins of lightning have not properly been seen in years.

A small group of lesser dragons in southern Durasken finds themselves in the middle of the conflict; dragonslaying is an increasingly common profession, and the mountains and forests in which many dragons nest are no longer safe refuges. Attempting to move to more remote, inhospitable locations, they find that they are drawn to the Southern Range, towards a deep canyon-like valley. Instinctive territoriality would drive them to fight for this spot of land, but a battle will not even break out before they find that they are not alone. A voice seems to tell them "Rala kelai, ria rah-kiiru" before their adversaries reveal themselves.

They can puzzle the Drakine words out later. For now, they must survive.
