Preamble
Like the Eldar before us, we look upon the mighty trees for strength and stature.
Upon our flag we place Altornë, the Great Tree, so that we may remember its story.
Among the topmost limbs sits Sorontir, the vigilant hawk, from whose perch we may be watchful.
Along the trunk runs Aldanayrro, the fleet-footed squirrel, with whose alacrity we may remain industrious.
About the roots slithers Talmalócë, the harrying serpent, against whose incursions we form a united foundation.
