Translation to everyday common.
Wild Elves everywhere,
Tattoos are a big part of Wild Elf culture. They tell the stories of what you have seen, fought, your tribe and many other things. This war was long, with many fights. Now we have all suffered a loss and a win. A tattoo needs to show this.
Maybe you are and elf with no love for the high elves. Maybe you think Suvant is a civil place for civil elves. Maybe you do not make time to think of L’lyandra. It does not matter what you believe. Many elves have died. Many shards have returned to the garden. This is a major loss for the whole world. I am still alive. Those who read this or are told what it says, are still alive. I think we owe it to all the elves to remember and mark this loss.
Some of you know me or the Eye of L’lyandra tribe, some of you do not. I know many elves have fought the brood. Everyone has fought, or knows someone who has fought. The wild elves who came to Amaranthia gathered materials to make ink. I mixed those materials with some i gathered from Day’ten and Melinda. We gathered and discussed, and then drew a tattoo for all those who would mark this war. To remember the cost of this war, and the victory that leads to a new future.
We designed a tattoo that shows Suvant fallen. This is a symbol of all the elves who are no longer with us; those we lost. Then we put a sunrise over it to show a new dawn for the elves, and a new start for all tribes and kinds of elves.
We want all the wild elves to take a look. If you believe you have a better design, then show us and we will decide together. When it is decided, I will send some of the ink we made so you may use it. Some already have this ink and will be sharing it as needed. There was no moon during the final fighting, so we will decide before the next time there is no moon in the sky.
