Act I, Part XIII: The Sting of Mortality

*Written in Tengwar lettering, the text appears to be very old*

((The text here should be considered translated into modern Westron from an older form of Sindarin, dating back to the time of Beleriand))

The Sting of Mortality

'Twere with great glee I met the Naugrim,

Such casual yet curious creatures they were,

With hair from chin and jaw and under horn,

So small yet splayed in stature,

They worked without weariness, without wear,

Great walls and pillars, bejewelled or more,

Aldúya, 52nd day of Lasse-lanta

Anor tarries less now in the skies above Imladris, and the clear starlit nights grow longer; soon Hrívë will be upon us, and the stars will truly light the earth longer than the Sun!

Even now, Imladris is bedecked with a carpet of rich brown and gold, as the trees shed their raiment and settle into their long slumber.
