A Collection of Orsimer Poetry

Posted by Meli December 31, 2016 - Filed in TSC: Poems - #TSC:Short #TSC:Orsimer - 1,572 views

The following are a collection of Orsimer poems accumulated by Theranis Frey, during his travels through the Wrothgarian mountains and the strongholds of Skyrim.

Stronghold, city orc, fort or mine!
All Hail the Orsimer!

Hunt wife, shield wife, forge or hearth!
All Hail the Orsimer!

Trinimac, Maouch, Malacath, Oh!
All Hail the Orsimer!

Orsimer! Orsimer!
Dirty, filthy Orcs you are!

Orsimer! Orsimer!
Pretty little Orsimer…

Orsimer! Orsimer!
Spoils of Boethia’s plan you are!

Mammoth herd, Skyrim tundra
Feed the tribe for Malacath's glory

Sharpen spears, grab those axes
Slay the beast for Malacath's glory

Tan the hide, smelt the ore
Smith your armour for Malacath's glory

Great cavern, way down deep

Blinded falmer and creatures sleep

Dwemer trickery, and ancient machinery

Falmer slaves will find their graves

Many chaurus, a hulking centurion

Fell beneath Volendrung’s weight

Pah, Cheydinal, tuskin’ place I ever went
Met old Oghash, now coin’s all spent

Pah, sweet stuff, tuskin’ lost it
Corbolo river, got hauled out of it

Pah, need it, tuskin’ need some
Stole from Borba, chased by scum

Pah, Dulfish, need more sweet stuff
Chased butterflies, tuskin’ snuff

Pah, head, tuskin’ head
Garrus found me, threw me in a shed

Pah, no more sweet stuff, said it’s bad
Tuskin’ thing I ever had

This little volume is fantastic! I love the layout here and the short verses definitely say "Orsimer" to me. I can almost hear it recited in those gruff voices. Beautifully done!

All hail, Orsimer! Good to see this up, Meli. And Tuskin' Skooma. Love it. Isn't that a reference to one particular tuskin' Orc?

  If said Orc would like to "own" it that's cool, but it was just the thought of a random Orc falling for Oghash's wiles, could be used as warning to other young Orc's leaving their stronghold's for the first time to explore Cyrodiil. Not sure Malacath woul... more

My fav part has to be Blackreach.

Great cavern, way down deep
Blinded falmer and creatures sleep

Really nicely written Meli. Can't wait to see Karver's reaction,,

  Thanks Sotek, those two lines had been kicking around for a while, just took a while to actually get them into something usable
