Sċēaweres

 


Foundation.


Mixing Old English within the 21st Century.


Titul:


Sċēaweres


(An all ana

 voice hwisprian's)


For although our pæþe 

Are divided by Wyrd


By The Grēat In-Betweonum


Also viewed as Destiny or Fate


By our Andsaca's


Enemies

Vultures and lions

Which Scyttan 


Hydan 

In The Great Ether


Restless

Unseen

And with great Hungor


Ravenous 


Just outside our Godcundlic Gates


Ours is a sacred Trēowa 


One 

No fowl creatures knoweth


And which the vultures, lions and ravenous creatures: filled with Æfestiġ


And second eyes 

Grene

Hath seen


But we will be Siġefæst


So

"Hál wes þú or wes hál"
