Editing Unglak and the Stone (section)

== Forging the Armour ==

The seasons spun with ponderous pace

From Summer to Spring, and the fiery forge

Roared red-hot in a hollow hall

Where metal's might was shaped by skill,

Where anvil sang

where bellows hissed 

and heavy hammers rang.


And Fèglin, furtive, with soft-paced steps

Lurked where the Lord was wont to walk,

In sunlight strolling, head to head,

Closely consulting [[Seuse]]’s ambassador.

And her Gnomish ears

heard what they said

confirming her fears. 


If our friendship is firm, we stand established,

strong and sure. My lord would ally

his crown to your cause, securing your strength

Should rivals arise. As sign and seal

Will he give you a gem

potent with power.

And one more thing


The ambassador added, with whispering words:

My lord by your leave, a matter to mark:

Lord Fringol has stated, and so it is certain:

That elf once escaped my Potentate's prisons;

His features remind him

Of unfinished business

He would put behind him.


The water lord grinned, his sharp teeth shining.

I need him now, nor would it be wise

To give a guest into hostile hands.

Yet robbers are rife; when he leaves my lands

Would any think it strange

Were he caught by ambush

Covertly arranged?
