Lore:Epode of the Ansei Wards

When Ra Gada came from Old Yokuda

In Hammerfell were found

Men of aspect tusked and fearsome, that we

Hunted to the ground

Others there were also, Elven, secret

Raising sacred dead

Necromancers lurked in desert towers

To Hammerfell they'd fled

Desert hid them no more from the righteous

Since the Redguards hie

Back they fought with evil magics, heinous

Dead once more to die

Stricken were Ra Gada in their god-faith

Banned from striking kin

Dead, awakened by the wicked wizards

Smote us from within

Anseis three then furnished all an answer

'Gainst the risen dead

Maja, Radan, and Halelah spake of

Wards to curb the dread

Mighty swords they forged from their own shehai

The people to defend

Guarding Redguards' consecrated bodies

From unholy end

To Tu'whacca sacrificed the Anseis

Essence of their minds

Gave their animus to seal the treaty

That protects and binds
