TES V Cover and Backstory — January 7, 2011

The latest edition of Gameinformer has a special feature on the upcoming TESV: Skyrim. The back cover contains several lines in the "tongue of the dragons", which can be translated using some examples provided by the magazine, and a little patience. The final translated text reads:

Dragonborn Dragonborn
By his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
When they hear triumph's shout
Dragonborn for your blessing we pray
 
And the scrolls have fortold
Of black wings in the cold
That when brothers wage war come unfurled
Alduin bane of kings
Ancient shadow unbound
With a hunger to swallow the world

The BethBlog claims that the magazine will eventually contain 14 pages of exclusive preview material. Luckily, there will also be further information on its website, which is just as well for people who live outside the USA, who can't get the magazine.
