We show no mercy, is it not?

F'ai Glomdoring is "I have no mercy", so I'd assume F'ai means "I have no". So you're saying, "I have no Gloriana!"
Manjanaia2005-03-06 18:25:20
Yeah that's right I'm sure.

Anyone know what inspired that chant? (I know it's in the Histories, but I mean what inspired the Admins to put it in the Histories.)

Gloriana means beautiful forest, so Malicia is saying, "I have no beautiful forest."
Vix2005-03-06 18:30:59
But I thought Glomdoring meant "no mercy" by itself... So that would mean f'ai is "I have"


"I have Gloriana" right?
Shamarah2005-03-06 18:34:32
Oh, you're right Vix, because Glomdoring Forest is Merciless Forest...

QUOTE
The fae, however, are resistant to the Almighty Presence, and we travel through the rent in the earth that once was the Great Ravenwood, and pass into the ethereal realm, claiming all that the Almighty touches. As I squeeze the essence from the pixies and willowisps, from the sylphs and wood nymphs, and feed my ravenous Master, I cannot help but feel bemused that once I protected these weak and pathetic beings. They cry at me, “D’or glom! D’or glom!” That means “have mercy upon us” in the tongue of the fae. I answer back, “F’ai glomdoring!” That means “I have no mercy.”


Glom must be mercy. So f'ai is I have and doring is no?

EDIT: On second thoughts, that is probably a translation that would make more sense. Like in French, the french for I am thirsty literally translates as 'I have thirst', but we think of it as I am thirsty. So maybe that means, I have merciless, or I am merciless. Which would mean doring would be the suffix for less.

I imagine a good call for the Gloriana folks would be, "F'ai Glom!", which I assume would be "I have mercy!".
Silvanus2005-03-06 18:48:02
Guido, start shouting out "D'or Glom!" Whenever someone comes to attack you.

Malicia, you have a beautiful forest.
Manjanaia2005-03-06 18:56:10
Bad Silvanus!!!
Silvanus2005-03-06 18:56:53
Thats what "F'ai Gloriana" means.

"I have a beautiful forest."

I think someone should quickly cement the market on "Got Mercy?" T-Shirts.
Silvanus2005-03-06 19:04:26
No. No. No. Why did you say that. Edit your post. Delete it. For the love of God.
Olan2005-03-06 19:35:57
Just for you, Silvanus:

"I have"
Erion2005-03-06 19:51:29
And D'or means "You have". tongue.gif Glom meaning "Mercy", and "doring" representing the lack of the word it's attached to. So, I don't have mercy, or I have merciless, or, however you wanna look at it.

Damn Fae tongue. Say we gut 'em all.
