Teraniel maiden of noble birth
you were promised to the ally
of your father the Rane
though you loved another and baser born.
Because your beauty was all bewitching
you had the promise put aside
when you became of age
your fathers ally wept to hear your pain.
Intended bride of surpassing beauty
the ally kept you from that oath
and denied his son
who of that day had not seen your beauty.
Betrothed virgin forever comely
the son would not be put aside
by night you were taken
and carried off from your obligation.
Oh kept beauty who never bore children
your baser born did not forget
he raised an army
and became Rane by the might of his hand.
Beautiful Hanali the unfading
you brought the Teraniel war
and both of them were slain
so you were Ranaa of both these armies.
Surpassing beauty you were just and kind
but without a spouse all elves hoped
and they would not marry
for the love they bore you, your kingdom ends.
