Creation and Usage Notes
| Students of Valyrian grammar will note that what is rendered as a relative clause in English is done with a simple genitival construction in High Valyrian. I did this for two reasons: 1. As this is a prophecy, I thought it prudent to make it shorter, rather that longer, and 2. I really, really did not want to expend the mental effort required to figure out how to translate that relative clause. Plus, it would require a verb, which I did not have at that time. I stand by this version, though. It's compact and effective.
