Hello all, I am new to these forums and I would like to share with you a small project my friends and I are working on called ember of eternity. I threw together some of the rough draft footage as a teaser for the upcoming short film. Let me know what you all think!

Its based off of the world of Lord of the rings.

Here's a clip I made of myself reading Ring Verse in an Old English translation:

YouTube - Ring Verse in Old English (from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings)

The translation used here is by one Carl Anderson:
A "Recently Discovered" Old English Poem
It's a somewhat loose translation, made to fit the Anglo-Saxon tradition of alliterative verse.


Hringas þríe þéodnum Ælfa,
allra ældestum, ofer eormengrunde.
Hringas seofun innan sele stænnum
Dweorgdryhtnum. Deorc heara hús.
Hringas nigon néote Moncynn,
hláfordas méra mégas déaðfæge.
Heolstres Hearra hring ánne weardað
in dryhtsele dimmum on deorcan þrymmsetle
þér licgað scedwa in londe Mordores.
Hring án gewalde, hring án gefinde,
hring án gebringe, hring án gebinde
þéoda swá þéowas in þéostrum tógedere
þér licgað scedwa in londe Mordores.


Literally this would mean:

Rings three for the rulers of Elves,
eldest of all, above the mighty-ground.
Rings seven, in halls of stone,
for the Dwarf-leaders. Dark their houses.
Rings nine (may) Mankind use/enjoy,
masters of horses, kinsmen fated-to-die.
Dark's Lord wards one ring
in dim/gloomy leader-hall on dark majesty-seat.
where lie shadows in Mordor's land.
Ring one (may) rule, Ring one (may) find,
Ring one (may) bring, Ring one (may) bind
nations as slaves in darkness together
where lie shadows in Mordor's land.


So yeah... but I think it generally works, and sounds nice in Old English.

P.S. The only other translation of the Ring Verse into Old English I've been able to find is this one: Englisc: Tolkien's Ring Verse in Old English - Sessrumnir
