Phase 3: Translation and Conclusion
Of immediate attention when considering the past phase's research, one word springs to immediate mind -
Quote from: Acolyte Narwen...Bararu...
It appears in if not cadence, dialect, or adjacency to the Erugitic "Baharu", of famed and ill repute surrounding death and dark practice. Using this as the initial cornerstone for translation, a mixture of Formorian Dialect and Erugitic may lend to some insight.
If it is to be believed the Ayyabasim were isolated for centuries it stands to reason there would be shifts in both dialectic and linguistic tradition.
Broadening our scope while it is a logical leap if "The Shame" is what is warned against at the Crags of Penance, it stands to cause that "The Ayyabasim" would be in some stretch "The Shamed".
Therein follows:
QuoteAMSALUM.
BARAQU - Baraqu - (Baara?)
ANUNTU. -
BARARU! -Baharu - (Death?)
AYYABAS - Ayyabasim - (The Shamed?). Ayya Bas - Bas- Bas? BASU (Shame? Curse?). BISU. BUASU. BUSTU. BALTU. BASU (Shame? Curse?).
ANNU!
ANNU!
ANNU!
Considering I was informed the tale came amidst an Ash Storm - Anuntu may be "Fled" or "Flee" - often times shaming among warriors, when fleeing or surviving.
While conjecture, potentially the second case of ANNU, chanted repeatedly, was a warning to flee the Ash storm, getting the team of visitors to safety?
Which would mean the rough translation would be
QuoteAmsalum
B'aara
Fled
Death
The Shamed/Curse
Shame/Curse - Bisu, Uasu, Bustu, Baltu. Shame/Curse.
Flee
Flee
Flee
While not a complete translation, this phase shall be shared with the Warmaster and Seat of Research. That in attending something for B'aara, they fled death, were shamed or cursed for it, and now roam the lands per the myths. The other research done shall be kept among Sandstone College but available at the War Council's Request.
In conclusion while there is much speculation here, given what I had to work on it feels accomplished. While I cannot say for certain The Ayyabasim can be relied upon, there is numerous accounting of myth, rumor, and legend that where battles waivered and desperation grew they would be present. Having fought alongside the Third Legion when it was routed by Fulmzid Silverknee, and other instances.
