World Hymn[edit | edit source]
Main article: World Hymn
The World Hymn is a dwarven carving of a poem that details all the nine ages of the world. It was later copied to an Equitan tapestry and supplemented with imagery. A transcript of the poem and the image for the ninth age are both shown below. [1]
Our past did end in fire and rage
Out from the ash and bitter smoke
We look to hope and keep it close
As all did see our near to end
Yet live to see this, our Ninth Age
