In the common tongue, in the runes of the 9 paths, in general druidic runes, in the runes of the 4 elements, light and general magic, in Cathain and Elfique:
(in irregular letters 10-15 foot high, gouged out of the cliff with destroy)
Caution.
(in slightly neater letters only a foot high, dug the depth of a dagger into the rock)
This place is dangerous. There is nothing of value here. This place is no refuge.
This place is not honoured. It is spoken of in no song. It is remembered in no legend.
Many died to no profit here. No honour was won here. Suffering took place which served no purpose. Loss of life and material were grievous. The best that may be said of our doings here is this: some of us survived and the hazard was contained.
If you are reading this, we are long gone. We make this warning in a spirit of sapient unity: Spill no blood here. Leave.
Blood spilt in this place will free the hazard. The hazard may speak in dreams, making threats and promises. The threats have not come true, the promises are unfulfilled. Do not listen to the hazard. Leave.
With blood, the hazard may take a physical body. Defeating the body does not diminish the hazard. With blood it will return. Spill no blood here. Leave.
The power you sense here binds the hazard. The wards were set by our precursors. Do not disrupt the wards. Leave.
We found the warning of our precursors too late. In solidarity with our long dead brothers in arms, we record their warning as they wrote it, and translate it to all the languages we know.
In archaic death runes, In the common tongue, in the runes of the 9 paths, in general druidic runes, in the runes of the 4 elements, light and general magic, in Cathain and Elfique.
1
What transpired here must not be forgotten.
It is too important to be lost.
Too much death was injured for victory.
The sacrifice must be remembered.
2
It was our will that brought it's end.
Though our efforts were costly it was not for naught.
When we shall die as it is our time,
We will rest well in our victory.
3
So we charge those who come afore us.
You must not waver in your duty.
Eternal vigilance is the price of safety.
The cost of failure is incalculable.
4
It is held now in its prison
Never again to be free
While we lie in eternal rest
It waits with endless patience.
5
Much honour was earned
Yet more blood was spilled
Legends were born
And heroes were lost.
6
It is with great sadness we remember
All those who suffer now torment unending
The sadness we bearing is incalculable
But their sacrifice was key to our victory
7
All who reads these words
Remember your vows.
None shall forget this day
Not till the end of time.

If challenged - respond
It is not gone for good
And pray it is not freed

We write this message in all the languages we know. We translate the old warning as well as we can. To our successors we ask that this warning be kept fresh, and that it be translated widely.
We are of many species. We are of all paths. We come from many lands. We rarely agree. In this we speak with one voice: Spill no blood here. Do not interfere with the wards. Do not listen to the hazard. Leave.
