It's Cirth (Dwarven text) for a start but I'm trying to translate it. Not easy stuff.

Yeah that's Tolkein Dwarvish, which makes sense with the setting being the Mines of Moria. Let's see if I've still got a copy of LotR to hand, if so I'll give the translation a go. I fancy a challenge this morning.

The sixth word on the left banner looks like "army".

This is the rough translation of the one on the left:
"A klash of steel on stone kan lead"
"to ruin with alarming speed"
"this suden flash ma sun inspire"
"a vast & all consuming fire"
Now Ross. I am very disappointed. These translations are used to fill out a game piece that you can use to win prizes. Shame on you using you readers like that. Also, no I am not that geeky. I used my PAX Schedule Book for the translation.

Right one reads:
"This pebel from the deepest mine"
"May katch your gaze if it kan shine"
"Unless it may be made of glass it"
"tempts the soul with every facet"

Goddamn, I used to be able to read this fluently. Took me months of work memorizing it. Then life got in the way of my superior Drawven communication skills.

That and staying on top a language usually requires you to have people to communicate with. Probably very dwarves around ;-)
