The Schlangenkrieg Inscription
Note: The following is engraved on a beryllium bronze stele 40 km due south of ██████, Antarctica. The name was given from the team of German explorers who discovered the stele in 2010.
When observed indirectly through photography or video, the stele appears blank. However, when observed directly, the content of the engraving changes depending on the observer's native language.
The following is the English-language version of the inscription, along with an artistic approximation of the image at the top of the stele.
THE WORLD AS IT WAS
ENCIRCLED BY MIGHTY JORMUNGANDR
NO MEMORY REMAINS, ASHES BECOME VOID
JORMUNGANDR LIES BROKEN
HER VASSALS WITHOUT MASTER
ONLY HER THREE CHILDREN REMAIN
INFINITE WORLDS, TIME DIVERGES
HIDDEN ACROSS THEM, THREE AND ONLY THREE
EACH SCION UNIQUE IN GODHEAD
BØYG, SERPENT OF IGNORANCE, KING OF THE TROLLS
WOLF-SIN, THE COILS THAT UNREMEMBER
THE FOOL'S RECKONING
RÍASTRAD, SERPENT OF HATRED, MOTHER OF THE CRUEL
LION-SIN, THE FANGS THAT TORMENT
THE HANGED MAN'S WARDEN
AZOC, SERPENT OF WANT, BISHOP OF THE UNWILLING
LEOPARD-SIN, THE TONGUE THAT ENSLAVES
THE HERMIT'S PRISONER
THE THRONE OF JORMUNGANDR
BARE, WITHOUT INHERITANCE
UNTIL ONE OF THREE REMAINS
ONLY A SERPENT MAY FELL A SERPENT
THREEFOLD BATTLE CULLS THE UNWORTHY
TO THE SURVIVOR, HUMANITY'S LEASH
BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY PREPARE
CHERISH YOUR EARTH, THIS GARDEN
KEEP IT CLEAN UNTIL HE ARRIVES
