Anabar left this message at the cave near the border when he was assigned there when Omalof was angry with him. The messages is "Four Ricamar soldiers crossed river".

I just got back from a brief trip to the valley and did some more snooping around in the cave. I'm glad they are keeping people out of there, as I continue make important finds. I was rereading Marabel's book and noticed the inside back cover was a bit loose. I carefully folded it back and found this poem. She must have written it when she left with Pompor and Tom and traveled to the valley.
Why
How can this land succumb to war?
What will result from all this strife?
Why have we turned from song to roar?
This foolish fighting leads to gore
and makes the hero lose his life.
How can this land succumb to war?
I should have tried to block the door.
That was my duty as his wife.
Why have we turned from song to roar?
A happy life I'll have no more.
Of misery, this world is rife.
How can this land succumb to war?
No father for my sweet babe nor
safety from warlike drum and fife.
Why have we turned from song to roar?
In pain I drop down to the floor.
My world destroyed by bow and knife.
How can this land succumb to war?
Why have we turned from song to roar?
