The Line of Tir Righ
 
 
Look well, oh lords of the Northlands
 
At the Line of far-famed Tir Righ
 
Steadfast stand Ulfgar and Renee
 
Eighth of the Storm Princes
 
 
Before them
 
Kheron, noble-browed sword-servant,
 
Safeguard of the elk-ocean was he
 
And Ksenia, cloud-flame of the court
 
This brooch-bearer of northern kin
 
 
Before them
 
Ulf, wolf of the northern winter
 
Whom the willows of the breastplate guard And Amanda, robed in ice and mist Nurturer of a kingdom’s heirs
 
 
Before them
 
Ieuan, the eagle’s meal-giver
 
Increaser of the serpent’s bench
 
And Gwyneth, meadow of the gameboard
 
She governed with summer’s ease.
 
 
Before them
 
Ulf, offerer of noble blood
 
In his Hall, a realm stood as one
 
And Bernadette, root of the bow-tree
 
Who hailed bearers of the sword-shakers
 
 
Before them
 
Kheron, feeder of the wound-falcon
 
Who gave fair praise to helm-servants
 
And Ksenia, cup-tree of the hall
 
She attended her work with care.
 
 
Before them
 
Ulf, unwavering ash of the Spear
 
Honour gave he to all who served
 
And Celdae, of the welcoming courts
 
Who rewarded noble courtesy
 
 
Before them
 
Einar, oak of the northern armies
 
Honoured Prince, first of his line
 
And Thora, bright gleam on the throne
 
The thunder of swords in her name
 
 
Before them
 
Davin, hero-descended king
 
The dawn of Tir Righ in his eyes
 
And Groa, who greeted the northland’s birth Grasses, waving, whisper her name
 
 
Before them
 
Nicholaus, of the night fires
 
He knew well the weight of a crown
 
And Allysia, laurel-decked
 
Her labours remembered by all
 
 
Before them
 
Wilam, war-lord of great fame
 
Warden of the people’s peace
 
And Siobhan, ruler of vernal lands
 
Vine’s blood of the mountains and vales
 
 
Before them
 
Aveloc, ally of the North
 
Alone he walks unknown paths
 
And Maliqua, lamp-light of the scribes
 
And lady of the battle-boards
 
 
Before them
 
Davin, dire battle-raven
 
Dauntless was he to his foes
 
And Groa, gold-robed sovereign
 
Great was the mirth in her courts
 
 
Before them
 
Skepti, whose skills were proven
 
Skald of the scabbard-tongue was he
 
And Asa, apple of Asgard
 
Who inspired great armies
 
 
Before them
 
Stone stood beneath raging storm
 
And the stars blazed a sovereign wyrd
