Ábitweonum twa beorgas, fyrlen on norþan

Bufan his ýðláf ic ádréogde án niht syndrige
Ic hámsiþie gebryidan min scimriende gyldenbéag
Æfter manig gearrim álifde mid seolfren galdre
Twá blæcheort adweledon min folc
Se lacu wille fordemeþ hwam sceal foreweseþ

translation:
Between two mountains, far to the north
Dwarfkind's Crystal Lake
Our sacred place of tribute, from ancient times
On its shores I spent a night alone
I return to take my shining crown
After many years at the side of the silver mage
Two, black-hearted, led my folk astray
The lake will decide who shall rule
We await judgement in the meadow
I and my foe and six witnesses
From the water comes a thing of pure beauty
The dragon with shimmering wings
Crying it rises
With blue flames it decides
The black-haired deceiver's crimes punished
Swiftly now we go to the battleground
To avert evil's attack
We are blessed by the Crystal Lake

Dwarf-kings' judgement-place

The secret pool

Therein resounds the dragon's song
