Talk:Moran Memorial

Has anyone tried translating it? timRAR 00:38, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Translated the northern face, with all but one character on the last line being clear enough to see easily: http://i.imgur.com/XAR1l.jpg Or just the text:

in memoriam

osh moran, captain of

the valor

the first of many who

have paid the ultimate

price for our city's

freedom. may their coura-

geous sacrifices be re-

memb(e)red.

Where the (e) is the most likely character, but it's not totally clear from the screen shot I took. I suspect that the other faces are similar, but by the time I finished with this translation it was night in Lion's Arch, so the other faces are much harder to read (and I'm not patient enough to wait for more light).

The eastern bottom face is as follows:

christof charbane

olivander mcmantis

hollis ri'atcha

rosa greenthumbs

harri showerdrain

the butcher of drawn

c a l l s

the cute lute brute

simmy toe-toes

ivar fishbane

peter panics

admiral jonas sealegs

morris mullethawke

nickkiack sharksnack

Anyone know if these are references to anything? Some sound like they could be GW1 player names. Tuomir (talk) 08:09, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

The memorial appears inspired in design by the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. --Kichwas (talk) 06:24, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

The largest stone slab at the south side (upper part is partly destroyed after the attack on Lion's Arch) reads:

EDIT: There's a cluster of 4 small slabs facing to to the south-west. I noticed that the same text has been repeated on the left-most of these slabs. By combining the two versions, I added the text marked in bold below:

true tom tw?????? (last 6 letters are no longer readable after the attack)

sally saddlebags

smilin’ joe finkle

penelope pegarm

barnacle jones

aj cold cuts samson

the crazy cat lady

drydock shingles

maxno maya

trey valenta

swingi pete

the (C?)anthan crew

captain chris caliber

questfor mounts

There are eight more lines at the very bottom, but most of the text here is hidden behind another slab. Titus The Third 11:11, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

EDIT: The last 8 lines are just the text repeated; ending with -ence, -ags, -kle, -arm, -nes, etc.. I also found the missing pieces for the last 4 lines from other slabs (see main page). Titus The Third 14:07, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
