This piece was inspired by a tolkienesque series of books. In “The Dwarves” by Markus Heitz we meet the two dwarven warrior-brothers Boendal and Boindil.
I could write pages about these books, but I don’t want to spoil it to anyone. But I can wholeheartedly recommend this series.
The inscription is in Tolkiens Cirth runic alphabet. The righthand inscription reads:
Baruk Khazâd, Khazâd ai-menu
“Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!”
which is an old dwarven war-cry in Tolkiens world. I wanted to add something to the piece, but as Heitz never described the language or the runes of his dwarfs, I decided to borrow a few things from Tolkiens world.
