"Charge of the Welkynar" was a common song sung across the Summerset Archipelago. The song tells of the might of the Welkynar, the Altmeri gryphon knight protectors. However, after the death of the knightly order in 2E 896 the song is rarely sung, and if so, it is sung in a sombre and mournful tone.
Lyrics[]
When Summerset, o Summerset, our fair and pretty land,
is threatened from beyond the clear and shining sea.
The Welkynar, our Gryphon Knights, take wing and make a stand,
with courage, strength, and bravery, they keep the Altmer free!
Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
fly on and fight our foes!
Charge, o Welkynar,
take wing with swords and bows!
From Alinor to Shimmerene and every point between,
the Welkynar ride the winds and defend our gleaming isles.
Whether commoner, or noble, or merchant, or king,
the Gryphon Knights protect us all, always with a smile!
Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
fly on and fight our foes!
Charge, o Welkynar,
take wing with swords and bows!
Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
fly on and fight our foes!
Charge, o Welkynar,
take wing with swords and bows!
