Knights of Tezoth

-- I am ready to amuse the lady, and also to give free rein to a caustic word and with a kind jest to gently ruffle worthy folk, and to prick wicked warriors with a satire equally wicked.

Hegemony
(In the service of Deus, always and inevitably
There must be a knight bearing in his title
Some virtue of the sovereign
I am proud and happy to be such for you)
Moon Shadow
(And amidst the gloom, the moon's clear light
And the bitter trace of past regrets
Remaining at the bottom of such strange eyes
And, undoubtedly, something not of this world.
Here light and shadow dwell within one soul)
Dragonheart
(By his glory, bearing, and appearance
Sir Richard earned a loud title
Like no one else here. The Dragonheart
Truly beats in the glorious giant)
Unbridled Violence
(Unbridled violence was surely
Inflicted upon him repeatedly
No wonder for the knights of Ravnland
As if I'm mocking a wretch...
Not good
However!)
Gloomy Sky
(Truly, the senior comrade is gloomy
But only his body dwells in the sky
While his spirit, alas, is burdened
By the meaningless grayness of the earth
Like a whirlpool, he hides darkness within
Outside — reflects the lusts of the earth
And the devil surely sits in his liver...
All this is just musings, jokes
A fine title and it suits its owner!)
Dawn Steel
(Sounds decent, but everyone wonders
How is mastery of wielding steel
Connected to the radiance of dawn?
Perhaps the true dawn
Was not the gleam of a dagger, but merely his smile
And there the treacherous steel lay hidden)
Catharsis
(An elegant and rare word
Filled with mystery, like the lady herself
Her story is unknown
But I sense Lord Cartridge hit the mark
When he named the warrior woman thus)
Milk Chocolate
(I count so many coincidences here
Associations, allegories, and comparisons
That relate the title to its bearer
That speaking further would even be superfluous...)
Serene Bliss
(Pleasant to the ear and outwardly fitting
But words always have a double bottom
And in a person, there are countless of those...)
Imperturbability
(How... Mikuyets he is. In everything
In his face, armor, and title)
Justice
(However faded, perverted, and two-faced
This word usually appears
Lady Emilia judged the tournament
Above all praise, and fairly)
Joy
(This word is strong and very bright
How worthy she is
Of it — that is more visible to Draxslaus.
Or perhaps it will be more visible to V...
A pox on my tongue!)
Dumb Terror
(Oh, how frightened I am! With such blatant tastelessness
One can indeed be greatly horrified)
Gold Coin
(Let him not be a stranger to gold coins
But it would be more elegant and amusing
If he were a knight of the Tooth
Of course, necessarily a golden one)
Golden Tower
(Once I was asked: "You often speak
In allegory, my Lord Ambrose.
Behind the words: tower, sword, spear
Is there not hidden but a single object
That cannot be mentioned in vain?" I laughed heartily
And said: only if the reader wishes it so
Or the author of these words. That knight
Serves as an example of clearly hidden meanings
And, knowing the Florentines, I will say:
It was precisely that, the unprintable, that was meant)
Crushing Blow
(A funny title and quite innocent
And our glorious knight justified it
When he crushed, smashed, and destroyed
By the lady's will, that one-kilogram steak)
Destructive Power
(Let it fit, but it's quite banal
I would rather call it "boundless," "infinite"
Power. Roaring it with a dragonid's throat
Might be quite epic.)
Swift Arrow
(I saw no particular swiftness
In those shots — though they were quite powerful
And accurate, no argument there
Either it's the swiftest on the wild islands
Or that knight is famous for haste in something else)
Long Patience
(As one familiar genie of mine says
Patience-sufferers only suffer long, but worthy men,
When trouble disturbs them,
Do not suffer at all, only endure and overcome)
Valor
(Perhaps the most modest of all titles
And therefore worthy of being in the middle)
Scarlet Blade
(Truly scarlet. But there's nothing more to say here)
Loyalty
(Seems simple, in the spirit of the region
But everywhere there is a double bottom...)
Wind
(She is full of airiness
And the title's so brief a name
Smacks considerably of earthly prose
An epithet here — and it would be wonderful)
Cold
(What was said above applies here
Overly simple, though it fits well enough)
Offensive
(Where, or at whom, or perhaps at what
Does this knight so bravely advance
Perhaps let it better remain a secret
Lest all his aura dissipate)
Sun
(Presumptuous — as is in the spirit of the region!
I see neither light nor warmth here...)
Desired Tremor
(It smacks slightly of strange gibberish
And does not suit its unseemly owner)
Virtuosity
(Perhaps, of all the simple concepts
That follow further down the list nearby
He got the title closest
To his character and also modest)
Impeccability
(I am glad that Lord Berserius found successful
The result of fatherhood's hard labors
And did not hesitate to acknowledge him aloud
As impeccable before all honest folk)
Wisdom
(Again accurate, but quite banal)
Truth
(Unless the mystery of a vow
Binds that lady's soul
Then there is little meaning in the title...
Chance only names us sometimes)
Perfection
(The only thing in which this knight
Is possibly perfect — is his unseemliness)
Sincerity
(On this handsome and sugary face
I observe not sincerity at all
But only hidden pride
I see in the perfumed curly dandy)
