I had to share this

[Zekafae]

While playing Oblivion, I'm using a mod that allows me to play drow. So taking my character's backstory, I took the idea of an epitaph. I think it's fairly fitting, maybe not "purely" lore appropiate, but its nice to me never the less.

in the drow tongue first:

Alus dal l' vreg'nth erl'elee d' Lolth, Usstan inbal tois.
Nin wun l' olath Erl'elee d'lil Olath Wenress
Usstan inbal muth ussta delmah, Zekafae d' qu'ellar Rilynath
d' Menzoberranzan zhah elghinyrr.
Delmah nin tlun Usstan xuil Eilistraee ussta seke quar'valsharess
Ussta velve swifter lu' zikeir, 'zil Usstan lil'alure beneath ilta drathir.
Usstan inbal tois, ghil ulnen naut ussta khel,drill ussta draeval p'los.
Xal ussta remaining dalninin flohlu l' ssussun d' Eilistraee,
Mal'rak zhah ussta delmah 'zil l' killian an'ar beneath ilta drathir.

now common:

Gone from the wicked embrace of Lolth, I have died.
Now in the dark Embrace of the Dark Maiden
I have found my home, Zekafae of house Rilynath
of Menzoberranzan is dead.
Home now am I with Eilistraee my true goddess
My blade swifter and sharper, as I dance beneath her moon.
I have died, here lies not my body,but my past.
May my remaining sisters follow the light of Eilistraee,
Forever is my home as the sword dancer beneath her moon.

It's very awesome, but "swifter" didn't translate nor did "remaining".

So: (more swift)
Ussta velve mzild sarnor lu'zikeir, 'zil Usstan alure harl ilta drathir.

and: (...my sisters that remain...)
Xal ussta dalninin nindel remos flohlu l'ssussun d'Eilistraee,

I like it!

But, I thought Obllivion already had dark elves? >.>

I'm using a drow mod for oblivion. dark elves are alright, but playing a drow a "true" drow in the dnd sense is much more fun.
