Rullik inscription (Eufez)

The Rullik inscription is an inscription of the Gilas Rullik dating from a very early but indeterminate time in elven history. The inscription was discovered in the ruins of Foreg. It is a record of certain conflicts between two elven tribes, one being a progenitor of the Webfoots and the other being the Bulalians.

The Rullik inscription is an ancient inscription of the Gilas Rullik dating from a very early but indeterminate time in elven history. The inscription was discovered in the ruins of Foreg. It is a record of certain conflicts between two elven tribes, one being a progenitor of the Webfoots and the other being the Bulalians. It says:

"I Gilas Rullik decree that from now on there is no peace between us. We must fight each other. Let our children never be friends. For Kalka and his brother Montus shall die by the hands of our swords."

It has also been translated into modern Eufezian as:

"From now on we will no longer live in peace. For Kalka and Montus shall surely die by our swords!"

A second translation by the scholar Jarlik of Aix translates the passage as "We are at war! We must fight each other so our children will never be friends". Other translations include "For our swords shall kill our sons", and "Kalka and Montus will surely die by the hand of our swords". The author of this translation believes that these are all translations for one single passage. He believes that the words "brother Montus" refers to Montus, while "Kalka" is actually a word used for the Sanhegin god of the same name.

The second part of the text describes a dispute over a territory. The Bullalians are described as "people who dwell in caves near the river". This text was dated to -1700. If this is true, this text predates the time of the earliest known writings of any Elven languages.
