" Soul stained black by darkness
I’ve been banished to this half life.
All I have left is remembered honor
And for this I now must fight.
I’ll protect those that I left behind
So they’ll never feel this sorrow.
I’ll hold the line day and night
So my Fey brethren will not follow.
Dahl’reisen’s Lament, by Varian vel Chera "
