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 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.
