I'll sing you a song of the long ago - Seven shine the shiners, oh!What did the Seven do way back when?Why, they wove the Charter then!Five for the warp, from beginning to end.Two for the woof, to make and mend.That's Seven, but what of the Nine - What of the two who chose not to shine?The Eighth did hide, hide all away,But the Seven caught him and made him pay.The Ninth was strong and fought with might,But lone Orannis was put out of the light,Broken in two and buried under hill,For ever to lie there, wishing us ill.
"I'll sing you a song of the long ago - Seven shine the shiners, oh! What did the Seven do way back when? Why, they wove the Charter then! Five for the warp, from beginning to end. Two for the woof, to make and mend."
The poem references the Seven who crafted the Charter, with five responsible for the main structure and two for maintenance. It also mentions the Ninth, who chose not to shine and was hidden away, with the Seven punishing him. The Ninth was strong and fought valiantly, but ultimately Orannis was defeated, broken, and imprisoned beneath a hill, still threatening the world to this day.
