    "The Secret of Negankerdak" is an original song we wrote taking place in an original fantasy world. The song centers on a pure and unbreakable material, "black diamond" and a sword naturally formed of this material. This is the 2nd part of 4 of our "Legend of Negankerdak" series. We hope you enjoy it:).
    We wrote the lyrics, composed, and arranged the piece. My family sang it.

    Song Description:
    This 2nd part centers on the good dwarf, Mordaar, who is digging in a mine for black diamond. He falls into a pit and finds a door where the guardian Rilfar has sealed the sword, Negankerdak. He learns of the sword's secret and is chosen to guard it until its rightful purpose can be fulfilled.
    Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:) Thank you!
    Lyrics:
    The Secret of Negankerdak
    (Dwarves)
    Ages have passed since Earth-Wrought was lost,
    And for our people great was the cost.
    Quests were begun where Unforged was sought -
    At rumors of finding fierce wars were fought.
    We are now broken, our great ones have died -
    Lightcatcher is gone, in grief set aside.
    Yet when a dwarf sees the diamond black,
    His heart remembers Negankerdak...
    Mordaar Morthain in the Noddyrock mined,
    Eagerly delving for treasures to find.
    This stout-hearted dwarf was humble and true -
    Honest souls like his in our day are few.
    He followed what seemed a black diamond trail,
    But it brought him near the accursed Black Vale -
    Corrupt, full of snares, deception its mark.
    A deep crevice caught him - he fell in the dark.
    Mordaar came to a cave of light, soft and dim -
    To Irna’s own heart his fall had brought him -
    With fountains and pools, with airy light-streams,
    And wells for wisdom, and inspired dreams.
    His footsteps soft, he trod the smooth floor,
    And found in the wall a small, gleaming door,
    With a sign of a moon, of deep earthen brown,
    And a sign of a sword the full moon did crown.
    Then spoke a deep voice within his mind,
    Firm as the rock, yet noble and kind:
    (Rilfar)
    “Know, little dwarf, it was from Vordan fear
    That I hid away what you will find here.
    It was dwarven conceit, beyond measure,
    That prompted me to remove their treasure.
    Too quickly I came in far off season,
    But could not to them reveal the reason.
    Yet do you suppose they could have perceived
    That I came for their good - would they have believed?”
    Mordaar, amazed, with a trembling hand,
    Pressing his palm on the granite brand,
    Unsealed the door where a Sword lay hid,
    Warily, whispering as he did:
    (Mordaar)
    ‘‘It was no demon, but a Guardian true -
    I see it now, from his very own hue.
    Negankerdak, here long laid to rest,
    By mighty Rilfar, a Guardian blest.”
    Then a soft voice he heard within,
    Light and dark, heavy and thin -
    Negankerdak, by no hand made,
    A blue light shining within its blade:
    (Negankerdak)
    “To the dwarves I was commended,
    But not for dwarf my use intended.
    Another there is I must employ,
    The world to save, or to destroy.
    Think not this blade as yours to own -
    Think what hand made you, flesh and bone.
    Are not our days by another cast,
    In this world so deep and vast?
    To spend ourselves for another’s sake,
    My fate and yours, each we take.”
    Silent, in awe, the Sword in his hand,
    Aware it was not his to command,
    With wondering mind and a heart that yearned,
    Mordaar’s steps toward home he turned.
    Forever, I will be seeking you.

      No Thor type enchantments on it, probably got passed through lines of Kings and maybe a couple famous warriors vs the "worthy" individuals that Irna intended. Although the Loss of Negankerdak doesn't say it you just know families of Dwarves and other races fought wars over it. Definitely not worthy behavior.

  • @radovanmarcincin2502
    @radovanmarcincin2502 2 года назад +68

    Quick lore recap for those interested.
    The guardian that hid the Negankerdak is Rilfar, he's the one that has these lines in first song:
    In intro: ''Then Irna the Earth put forth her gift, a fountain deep in a darksome rift.''
    and later:
    ''By Irna formed from the diamond black, the Earth-wrought, Unforged, Negankerdak!''
    and then with Turalel (which is the leader of guardians i assume):
    ''Weapon of kings, for greatness built.''
    So, the first line looks like it's describing the location of Negankerdak in this second song.
    Rilfar seems to be some kind of earth-guardian to me. He's the closest to Irna - mentions her a lot.
    I also wonder why there was a moon on the door to Negankerdak. My theory is:
    In first part of first song, we hear eight guardians, and see nine moons on image. Also, the boss Turalel sings about nine moons crowning the mountains. One moon is special on the image, it's also in the middle. Either it is Turalel's moon, because he is the main guardian (but then, there is one guardian missing to complete other 8 moons.) or it is something else. Like, Eru Iluvatar, the one real God, with 8 guardians around him as Valars/lesser beings.

    • @mathieuaurousseau100
      @mathieuaurousseau100 2 года назад +9

      The description of the previous song confirm s Rilfar is the earth guardian.
      If there's something like Eru Iluvatar it would probably be Irna, the Earth
      I could be wrong but I think the woman who sang "forever I will be seeking you" at the end of both song is not of the ones who sang the female guardians' verse.
      Also Negankerdak changed colour between The Loss and The Secret (black and red vs white and blue), given the fact Black Diamond is supposed to never change that's probably relevant

      Another theory: The creature is the one who is saying "Forever I will be seeking you" at the end of each song.
      In 'The Loss of Negankerdak' we see this cloaked figure over the Black Diamond Sword. I believe it's safe to assume we all thought it was the demon since before this song we didn't know there was no demon in the first place. Now the figure returns, again, at the point where the phrase is spoken. Perhaps this creature has something to do with Negankerdak saying that it will save or destroy the world. Maybe it wants to bring about one of these dooms, and is therefore seeking the Unforged.
      Or it's just Rilfar.

    This is an ironic twist given the roll the Loss of Negankerdak played in my life. I used the song last month to mourn the loss of something “unique in shape and measure” besides which stone lacks beauty. What was lost is “unforged” and repels artifice and only grows organically as it comes down to us from the mysterious past. For a while I wondered with its loss, “how shall we endure”, but I have found peace. As much as it pains me, I recently have been able to accept that it was taken from us by “ no demon, but a Guardian true”

    Fun fact time: The material Carbonado is also known as Black Diamond. It is one of the toughest, densest types of natural diamond, and is an impure high-density, micro-porous form of crystalline diamond, containing diamond, graphite (hence the black colour I guess) and amorphous carbon with small crystals and some metal.

    Why is the sword so different between the illustration of Mordaar finding it and literally every other one we see it in?
    Seriously. Go back and watch the first part, 'The Loss of Negankerdak', and every single illustration showing the legendary blade shows it as being somewhat conical in shape, with the colour being black and a red light shining out of it. 0:30 of this vid, still the same. The pictures seem true to the lyrics as well- listen to these descriptions
    "A sword unique in shape and measure"
    "By Irna formed from the diamond black"
    "Unbedecked, yet flawless, dark"
    "A glow in its depths from blade to hilt" (colour unspecified)
    The material its made of, black diamond, is supposed to have a glow reminiscent of the sun, or of fire ("Light in its depths like fire or sun")
    So why is it blue and shaped like a normal sword when we see it again at 5:07?
    On the surface, we're told that the guardian Rilfar hid it away from the dwarves because of their hubris, but where does Mordaar find this sword? In or near "the accursed Black Vale" which is apparently "Corrupt, full of snares, deception its mark".
    So, is the sword Mordaar found actually Negankerdak? Is the voice that spoke to him just before he opened the door really Rilfar? If so, then can Rilfar be trusted?

      1. In the description for Part 1, they explain that Black Diamond glows with random colors and intensities at unpredictable intervals. Sometimes gold, sometimes white or red, etc.; They've also confirmed in responses to other comments on this video, that Negankerdak can control its light's color and intensity because it is sentient.
      2. They had a different artist draw the background artwork for this video as opposed to the previous, and muchlike fanarts of a purely written book, each person drawing will have a different idea of what the sword looks like. A smoother blade here, a rougher one there, a different shaped crossguard... but in all cases they retain the core feature of being a sword of Black Diamond, a dark indestructible metal that has an inner glow/light.
      3. Rilfar can absolutely be trusted. Going back to part 1's description, they explain that the Guardians are powerful beings who protect various aspects of the world. Rilfar is the Guardian of Earth, and thus has a deeper (heh) connection to Irna than any of the other Nine. Therefore he of all the Guardians would know for sure if Negankerdak was being misused when it was first discovered, and would be the appropriate Guardian to take action to prevent further misuse.
      4. Black Diamond specifically cannot be shaped, forged, tamed, etc. by any being in existence. That presumably includes demons, which means Negankerdak can't be replicated, copied, falsified, etc.; there is only one sword of Black Diamond, and can only EVER be one. I expect that this uniqueness is going to be part of the reason why it has a world-saving purpose that was assigned to it by Irna.

    Man I'm loving this series so much. Interesting thing I noticed too, Rilfar, the guardian that took Negankerdak, was the one that gave it it's name. Rilfar was also the one to sing of the 'fountain deep in a darksome rift' in the first song, the very place Mordaar fell.
    I also love how much it parallels the Boic song. Dwarves consumed by their own hubris, but instead of demon coming to take advantage of it, a guardian comes to attempt to cure them of it.

    Gorgeous. I love this. Also, is it just me, or does Nergankerdak's size seem...odd? In the various art we've seen to now, it seems perhaps a singlehanded blade or maybe hand-and-a-half, but still sized for dwarves. That last scene though, where Mordaar is holding it, makes it apparent that the Unforged is made for something else. Could it be that dwarven pride and conceit led them to change how it was depicted, especially once it was lost?

    These songs are both incredible, and I can't wait to see the next two, and hopefully learn more about that cloaked figure spying on them.
    I do really wonder about the Guardians as well. They are often associated with the moons (their opening in the first song had the image of the nine moons, and Rilfar in this one sealed Negankerdak with the brand of a moon upon the door). It really feels like each guardian should have some relation to the moons, which makes me wonder if there is a ninth (only 8 sing in the firsr song, one being Rilfar), or if Negankerdak itself is supposed to be one?
    I'm also intrigued by who sings the forlorn final verse at the end of the two songs. I assumed at first it was Negankerdak, but the voice is completely unlike the voice of the blade. It's honestly incredible how many questions and how much story is contained within just these two songs, I can't wait for more.

    • @mathieuaurousseau100

      Then I pose the counter to you, Donald Bothe. For if Rilfar was a demon true, and could carry the sword, why not would he have used it? A blade crafted by Irina of the hardest material, a mighty blade in the hand of any, and yet it was merely sealed away behind a gate of granite pure. Why would that door be so boldly emblazoned with the sigil of Negankerdak instead of one merely carved plain?
