| In
these five years serving my great father Ceannlaidir and
observing other followers, I noticed some curiosities in
the way which one says his or her prayers. Talking with several of them I captured the ideas of each one. It then became clear that, despite some differences in details, the majority of the prayers are bound to main facts -- Ceannlaidir's and his followers' qualities -- and often offer thanks to the God of War. Having a collection of different prayers, and researching old documents about Ceannlaidir and his fellowship, I attempted to recreate the original prayers of our religion. I hope to have accomplished what I hand in view. The prayers I was able to synthesize follow. |
| Ceannlaidir Prayer Oh Glorious Ceannlaidir Among the Gods, the bravest And this bravery I do reflect For you, I fear not death To you I sacrifice my body and soul Guide me on the road of glories Honorably I shall follow it Always overcoming my weaknesses Give me answers when confusion has me Show me the ways if I lose mine Guide my hands when I wield my sword May my enemies be terrorized at the very image of me Among all the things I love Among all the things I feel Nothing compares to the faith I have To you I dedicate all my victories For all the things you mean to me With pride I call you Father Watch over this son who will always love you And rest while I honor your name |
| A Warrior's Thanks to
Ceannlaidir When my sword cuts the air When I walk over my fallen enemies When blood covers my blade When victory is in my reach You, God of War, I wish to thank Following you I never desist Nothing would I be without you May I always serve you right And may I always honor your name You, God of War, I wish to thank For my strength, my courage, my wits For the righteous battles I fought and fight For the pride I enclose in my chest The pride I have in being your son You, God of War, I wish to thank The unworthy battle in error By your side I fight with Honor You grant me Bravery, Glory, Victory Protect me, and bring death to my foes You, Ceannlaidir, I wish to thank. |
| A Rogue's Prayer to
Ceannlaidir In my shade I see your reflex Behind me, guiding my steps The Moon and the great Warrior God of War, Ceannlaidir Your strength you grant me Your spoils you give me Your skills I carry in me Moving swiftly you are with me For that I thank you, I have nothing to fear All those who dare oppose me To Sgrios I send their souls Proud I am for fighting in your name For each drop of blood I shed in your name Protect me, my wealth, my soul |
| Priestly Words with
Ceannlaidir Oh Almighty Ceannlaidir Happy I am, for serving you Brave I am, for following you Fearless I am, for being close to you For granting me this gift, I thank you If strength fails me, Ceannlaidir, Forgive the weakness of this servant But look at me and you shall see I serve you in my own way I honor you with each prey I aid my companions slay Your road I can never travel, Ceannlaidir But your ways always will I follow Bearing the strongest of spirits Led by the greatest of hearts Unparalleled, for following you When in battle, let me heal And save the lives of those who serve you When I fall, be by my side Let my body and soul's sacrifice honor you Amen |
| A Monk's Praise to
Ceannlaidir Ave Ceannlaidir, God of War Life of the strong, death of the weak, Ave For you we pray, outcast sons of Glioca For you we slay, in certainty our deeds are right In these wastelands you brought us Cail Fruit of the union of War and Love Today we turn to our patron's father, god of limitless power For higher goals to achieve, victory to reach, foes to defeat We need no swords, our fists are shaper We need no armors, our bodies are stronger Skillful as an eagle, merciless as a wolf Mirroring your nobility, honoring your name Ave, Ceannlaidir, Father of Cail, God of War! |
| A Wizard's Oath to
Ceannlaidir My vigor raises earth My knowledge tames water My strength controls fire My swiftness leads air The elements I master I put to your use O Great Warrior Ceannlaidir If the enemy wishes my death The power you grant me shall be my savior If Sgrios reaches out to my soul My faith in you shall turn his gaze to my foe Never will I fear the outcome of battles O Great Warrior Ceannlaidir In the wars you fought and the wars we fight The same purpose The cleansing of the land, the selection of the strongest Guide my steps so I can be one of the chosen For only the strongest will survive the final war Only the strongest will stand by your side O Great Warrior Ceannlaidir |
