From EastKingdomWiki

Grimly gone to battle
gripping spear in tumult. [1]
Orbs[2] of rhymester eager,
Odin’s storm[3] retelling.
Stories drawing deeply
of dwarven vat’s liquid.[4]
Speaks he, wiping spear-point,
speechful from son’s contents.
Brion the ring-breaker[5]
And bright East-elm[6] Anna,
Grim the skald are giving
great and well-earned honor.
He will be sleeve’s holder,[7]
hirthsman[8] of its order.
Done where war was waged at
Waterfall of Valley.[9]
