dragonborn, dragonborn
by his honor is sworn
to keep evil forever at bay
and the fiercest triumph's shout
dragonborn for your blessing we pray

and the scrolls have fortold
that black brothers the war come unfurled
alduin bane of kings
ancient shadow rises
with a hunger to swallow the world

So there we go I guess? Bravo!

Another chunk:

Spoiler

"Keep evil forever at bay."

So I guess it was done already.

Spoiler

Alduin, the World eater.

Aw man you did that far too quickly.

Are you human?

Anyway, very interesting.

I'd just like to take a minute to say BRAVO to all the people that are working on translating this, you guys serious have to be some of the most dedicated people I've ever seen.

If this is it I will seriously bake cookies and brave the 3 hour commute in the snow and cold to deliver them to Bethesda personally.

I'm almost done with it, so I guess I'll see in a minute.

lol good job

» Fri May 21, 2010 1:16 pm

Nice work Karpik!

» Fri May 21, 2010 4:41 pm

So I guess this translation fits in with the whole Akatosh trying to 'nom' all of the men?

» Fri May 21, 2010 8:06 am

His translation is right i think. I think his translating the runes into letter might have some misspellings

» Fri May 21, 2010 8:17 pm

Looks like that speculation of the skyrim storyline V2 was spot on!

» Fri May 21, 2010 11:06 am

3rd line should be "wah dein", but the actual english translation sounds right

» Fri May 21, 2010 1:21 pm

I was right on all clues! Gimme a cookie.
Try using http://i54.tinypic.com/2yxncbm.png as well, it should be correct.

» Fri May 21, 2010 6:10 pm

It's a prayer to akatosh, they must be praying to the god for his rebirth, or something a long those lines!

Black Brothers

Hold on,

Alduin isn't even in the key. Huh?

Okay so I just read up on Alduin... so apparently he's some sort of aspect of Akatosh, and the apocalypse bringer? EPIC!!!
