With ever increasing amazement, Eilidh read the scroll, unravelling the crinkled parchment as her eyes moved down it and her mouth silently voiced the words, as if she couldn't quiet believe what they said...

For those of you interested, here is the original text:

Spoiler

ó a Athair An Rí a Connor Mhic Amhalghaidh a Eilidh inion Mhic Amhalghaidh:

Is iad seo na tascanna a bheadh aige léi a dhéanamh; d'fhonn í féin a chruthú dó, d'fhonn a chruthú go bhfuil sí in am a bheith ar a Comharba fiúntach, agus d'fhonn tairiseach don Ríocht a chruthú.

AN CHéAD:
Ba mhaith linn a bheith aici níos mó a fhoghlaim maidir leis an talamh Cyrodiil trasna na farraige ó dúinn.

AN DARA:

mar a chreidim.

AN TRíú:
Tá sí a lorg amach thíre, ceann amháin Oisín Mhic Callum. A Issue cosúil léi féin gur theip air tuairisc a thabhairt dúinn agus tá dá bhrí sin, táimid ag comhairle, déanta dúinn mícheart mór.

Sna trí thasc sí a mheas.

TRANSLATION:

"
From Her Father The King Connor Mac Auley to Eilidh daughter of Mac Auley:
These are the tasks he would have her perform; in order to prove herself to him, in order to prove she is in time to be his Worthy Successor, and in order to prove her loyalty to the Kingdom.
THE FIRST:
We would have her learn more regarding this land of Cyrodiil across the ocean from us.
She is to circumference and cross the country, to explore, to probe it's ways and it's people; it's beliefs and it's comings and goings.
THE SECOND:
Although she is a competent warrior and scout, and fit in our court, she lacks understanding and empathy for the people whom she shall one day be A Mother to.
To this end she is, for the period of Not Less than 2 years and 1 day and with respect to the first task, above, to ingratiate herself with the peoples of Cyrodiil and make herself at one with them.
Earn their trust and live amongst them - earn her keep as she sees fit and seek to understand them even though they are different and inferior to us in outlook and belief.
In this she shall learn humility and empathy.
THE THIRD:
She is to seek out a countryman, one óisín Mac Callum. A scout like herself who has failed to report to us and has thus, we are advised, done us great wrong.
She is to find him in Cyrodiil and make a judgement, for herself with her wisdom, as to what must be done.
----
In these three tasks shall she be judged.
----
----
She shall, on the day before the full moon every second month, report to our messenger at the docks in the Port of An-vil her findings and any such objects that she deems to be of interest to us.
Failure to report to the messenger will be seen as failure overall, with the consequences.
----
----
At the end of 2 years and 1 day she shall present herself to the Chief Advisor: Donal Mac Branain, at the Port of An-vil by midnight on the final day and provide final evidence of the completion of her tasks.
Should she be judged as completing her tasks successfully she shall be returned to us and shall live out the future ordained for her, successfully and with new understanding.
Should she be judged as having failed, then she shall be left at the Port-side and shall be deemed unfit to return to us as a Princess of the Royal Court.
In this instance, she may return On Her Own to live out her life as she will.
----
----
This is our decree, witnessed and delivered by our Chief Advisor:
Donal Mac Branain, Duke.
----
"
Eilidh, having finished reading, looked up from the scroll, her mouth open and her eyes wide.
Donal beamed even more broadly, he was going to enjoy this...

Hm, I get a vibe of Irish Gaelic here. Not sure if it is, though since I sadly don't know any of the Celtic languages :( But anyways, it looks interesting. Feel kinda sorry for this Mac Callum guy, actually. May I ask what race they are? Right now, I'm thinking Bretons/Reachmen tho I may be wrong.
