Book of Sjalvolki Poetry (artifact)

A book of Sjalvolki poetry written by the Chevalien scholar Mitheux Chridae as part of his series of books detailing his journies with the Sjalvolki peoples during their invasions of Aversaria, each chapter provides a collection of a different tribe's poetry. Unlike the poetry of most western cultures, Sjalvolki poetry tends to take the form of battlefield poetry (or, as the Sjalvolki have taken a liking to ships, sailing poetry), and tends to be rather anarchic in structure and prose. Still, many of the verses remain inciteful or bely an oft ignored thoughtfulness to many of the Sjalvolki warlords, with several poems by Cenware Witch-Breaker himself especially standing out, especially a surprisingly melancholy composition from the Elysian Pass.
