• Hic historiae in fabulis et carminibus narrantur. Here tales are told in song and story.
• In exedra Calontiris, valeatis. Be in good health in Calontir’s high hall.
• Cum omnes heroi sunt, heroes non requiruntur. No need for heroes when all are heroic aka "No Heroes".
• Comites, requiescite, nam tute ad domum veniebatis. Rest, Kinsmen, for you’ve come safe home.
