THE FALLEN KINGS
The above picture is still being drawn.
____________________________________________________
CRAFTED:
THE item above was hand drawn on a sheet of 100% cotton using pencil, black ball-point pen, gel pens and wax map colors. To simulate an aged appearance the edges were frayed and singed.
CHARACTER:
REPRESENTING the Fallen Kings is the second lord to rule over the bay city of Mithar, Legandriel [Le-gan-driel], seated upon his golden, swan-carved throne in the tower of Varlendur. Ever present at his side is the child scribe, Lydia, a character in her own right.
MAP EXPLAINED:
THE map presented here is located in the northwest part of Eriduah. This is a detail of the The Iron Hills, Mount Ja'ol and The Gap, where the Prophet Nadan quelled the great Goblin attack against the cities with his calm voice. Below the southern tip of the mountain rage lies twin bay cities of Lindol and Mithar. Outside the newly constructed Hideous Wall lay the tent city of Slavath, of the Bedouin people called Nasil.
VERSE TRANSLATED:
The two stanzas are taken from a much longer verse entitled Ode to Fayendar; it was written in an "elvish" font called Sinqinto, (a variation of my Sinenya). The phrase "Fallen Kings" refers to the rulers becoming corrupt; and was taken from the same poem as the mystic Priests.
The English Translation of the verse on this scroll reads:
FROM eastern lands those lesser men came
ink-skinned Bedouins from war-torn lands
who drove their herds and tribes westward;
unto the Ancient Shores of whispered hope,
where a remnant people lay harbored,
twenty-one who gathered on forgotten docks
behind vine-laced walls once grand and fair.
THOSE nomadic Nasil sought journey's rest
not to usurp those Mitharians, but trade
with wares of jewelry, cloth and herds;
eight hundred men, women and children
called their camp Rebirth, as Slavath
was their new beginning in a post-war
land of hope and new friendships.
