Uut Zautzerd Passind Da Ahmrind

== "Uut Zautzerd Passind Da Ahmrind" is an ancient Carenath text predating the destruction of Annarion. ==
"Uut Zautzerd Passind Da Ahmrind" is an ancient text written in the Carenath variation of ancient Dwarven. The title, literally translated, means "And the magic happens under there," though a better translation is "And Magic happens down below." It begins by asking for the forgiveness of Tonsa for entering his domain without invitation, then consists of dark, disturbing, and disorienting nursery rhymes.
=== The Power and Use of the Text ===
When chanted underground, the rhymes in the book induce visions and trance states in Trolls and Dwarves. Dwarves unfortuantely also suffer vertigo and usually become unconscious, so Dwarves seldom experience any other results. Trolls, and those rare Dwarves who can remain conscious through the chant, become temporarily capable of feats of earth and stone shaping magic, as well as sculpting or warping metal, with the power and scope of the magic depending on the number of people chanting. The results are much stronger if the chants are recited in total darkness, and from memory. Each recitation becomes more difficult, until the will breaks or the speaker becomes a "Shahldrodd" (plural Shahldroddeh), or "Stone Druid." If the speaker's will breaks then they will never be able to speak the words again. If not, they will be able to access Druidic power from that point forward.
==== Possible Origin of the Text ====
The Carenath had a caste of gifted poets and magi called the "Tzuuklohpa." They were born with only one massive eye in the center of their faces. Legends passed down from Troll seers during the Age of Rebirth say that they were the first to learn the "Erdasangen," singular "Erdasang" (Air-deh-sang-in, singular Air-deh-sang) or "Earth Songs." They did so outside the auspices of the cult of Tonsa or the Order of the Black Willow, and so kept their rites mostly secret and used them only during times of great need.
On Dorhaun
Troll seers remembered jumbled portions of the text, and eventually managed to lead some of the people to a meteor glimmering with blue crystals. The meteor proved to be artificial, opening when one of the seers spoken an ancient Dwarven that, in that context, means "Please, Open." A copy of the text was inside. The seers pieced together the ability to read it, then ventured into the deep caves and mountains. As Trollkar has no objection to these rites, they have been common among Mountain and Cave Troll tribes ever since.
===== Note =====
The word the priest used is pronounced, more or less, "Urfnenin."
