Text & Transliteration

Blaze and burn, bend with fire!Creation sparks, kindles in the skullas smith strikes smoldering face.Lightning leaps from Laurel’s hammer,etched and inscribed with well-earned leaves.Metal is molded, melting to the willof a wright worthier than Wayland himself:forge-hardened Valgard av Mors.
Inducted into the Order of the Laurel by Eckehard and Jane at Defending the Gate, March 26, A.S. LVI.
