The Violation of Negankerdak

(Tara)
The living fire warms, and unto ash it burns!
(Dinach)
Water gives life, and the drowning depths it churns!
(Nergalin)
The wild wind whispers, and howls in great gales!
(Rilfar)
The earth supports all, and over all prevails.
(Turarel)
This paradox does the Lightcatcher know.
Its history marked by weal and woe.
(Orla)
By it the Yrewven were cast from the land -
(Aerial)
The five kingdoms riven by an errant hand.
(Guardians)
The Earthwrought Sword is a weapon of death -
It was formed to sever souls from their breath.
(Treal)
Yet the light must enter the darkest lair,
So to banish the lurking shadows there.
At Negankerdak's waking, inflamed with hate,
A Vordan crept up through a black Shalda Gate.
An enslaving shroud cast through the Golm Mountains dim,
It fell upon Arnen, a Golm Watcher grim.
His spirit was old, his ancient heart cold,
Prone to receive what the fell Vordan told.
A sentinel Seye’Lahn, of the cursed first race,
Awakened, he silently strode to the place,
Where Mordaar encamped, the Unforged in his hand,
Which Arnen beheld, his eyes like a brand.
Negankerdak burned a deep crimson fire,
And gripped them both in its baleful ire.
Yet naught could the fire of black Vorda stay -
Arnen on Mordaar, a hunter on prey,
Descended in malice, and the two fires flamed,
Unforged and Seye’Lahn in a contest untamed.
The Seye’Lahn employed maligned steel,
The shadow-bound, and Mordaar did feel
The dread of doom as desperate harried
The ruthless blade he hopeless parried.
The Earthwrought’s glow became as frozen,
In the hand of one unchosen.
Harrowed beneath the Seye’Lahn skill,
Mordaar fought withal until…
Strange Dinach's green moon beheld what it cost,
When the dwarf to the fiend in the fierce battle lost -
Rilfar's design, to protect the great Sword,
Undone by the wiles of a dark Vordan lord.
Now the ancient foe does Negankerdak wield.
To Vorda's darkness will its destiny yield.
And from the heart of the earth into its hand,
Mordaar was seen no more in that land.
(Treal's prophecy)
Now forsaken, the Sword is taken,
But Light shall come very soon...
Powers shaken, the Stone awaken,
And so shall rise the Secret moon...

Forever I will be searching for you...
Forever I will be seeking you...
