Three Paths
This is a fragment of a somewhat antiquated Syulvan charge upon young adults in the community
Three paths, three choices, three identities.
Find justice; find wealth; find healing.
Serve many; Serve self; Serve all.
The warrior hunts justice with the edge of the axe;
The thief grasps riches by the hilts of the blade;
The sister calls healing from the sky and the glade.
Alenvar
What follows is a fragment of the Lay of Alenvar
The towers will protect us;
Were they not built on the paths of the Powers?
Here in Vanasol, Galor once stood,
Calling forth the sea to drown the cold.
There, by the towers twin,
Cirda once declared her will,
Defending that ford from evil.
Thither, upon the crest of Barethsol,
The Green-axe forbade the frost.
They will guard our lands.
Turn east, Alenvar, and tame the Dwarf-Peaks.
-Marglir, speaking to the Assembly.
