Author's Note:
The 'Amaline Poems' as they have become known to us, were a collection of mostly love poetry written by King Artur Paendrag Tanreall, the man now known to history as Artur Hawkwing, to his wife, Queen Amaline Paendrag Tagora. We say mostly, for one poem that survives, 'Loss', discusses the death of his firstborn son, Modair, who died in battle sometime during the Consolidation.
This collection of poetry was found during a reorganization of the Royal Library of Cairhien, a loose set of pages that were dispersed throughout another, exceedingly boring book. As far as we can tell, these may be the only copies of the 'Amaline Poems' in existence, although whether the Aes Sedai hold a copy maybe something we will never know.
The pages were badly damaged, and are going under restoration work at the moment. As each individual page is restored and transcribed, then the findings shall be published here.
I will wait, with baited breath, as the words of the High King emerge. I hope you will too.
By the Grace of the Light,
The Royal Librarian and Archivist,
The Court of Cairhien
