| Boromir: "Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing!" - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring II:10 |
According to the The Teaching of Bero, Airiscina was one of the five first shapeshifters among the Beiabarn. The House of Airiscina plead on him as their ancestor.
Notes[]
Like all Old Rhovanian languages, Attatunga, the tongue of the Beiabarn, is represented by Latinized Gothic. Erskine seems to be derived of Gothic air ("soon") and skeinan (to shine). The corrected (Latinized) Gothic form could be "Airiscina".
