Here's Baroness Maaline Reynard's translation of the Old English poem she wrote for the 12 Knights of Atlantia project I posted a few days ago...
The Twelve Knights of Atlantia by Maaline Reynard
The land depends on the people's courage Her sunset is their dark times Her zenith is their brightest times Her warriors are her greatest treasure.
First is Michael, as strong On the battlefield as a lion Bearing the laurel wreath and sword Our first king; to the bold goes the crown.
The mightiest castles are built by men So well-known as a king and poet With a strong voice and gentle heart Was Gyrthe, who guided us as true as a compass.
A gentle giant and Count Was Black Kane O'Shannon, brave and adored With a black sword and shield Strong and virtuous, and always loyal.
Forgal is fierce with sword and shield Mighty in his generosity and honor Treasured more than silver and renowned None to be his equal in strength and skill.
Two creatures of the ocean's depths Daemon finds his path as decisive as a river's White belt and sword, he is a knight A Scholar, and honorable warrior.
Two ravens opposed On a background of green and gold Corby, brave in battle and fearless Always on his quest, he is our beacon with honor his banner.
The hound sings an evening song Of oceans and of storm-filled skies Of golden fields, of wars and skill Of kings, of nobles, of knights, of Cuan.
Vladimir, clarion, shield, and sword Otters adorn his heraldry, his pole arm And his thoughts serve his people Virtue and honor are forever his quest
Tjenorum, like a stone pillar for Atlantia Our first prince Atlantia's protector, he is ever constant So is his heart sworn to forever uphold her beauty.
Olaf endlessly defends his lands With two swords like a wind-snare His service is always pure A knight always faithful to his kingdom
Always is Bryce thrice evil in his misdeed As a Laurel, Pelican, and Knight His belt his banner, his shield of black and gold His ability has no equal.
Logan is as the eternal wolf His song guarding against the night's chill Inspiring hearts to burn With decision.
