When peril looms, their resolve remains.
In the vortex of pandemonium, They are the Eld Verndari,
The sentinels of searing flames.

The wardens of fire.
Paragons of valor,
Our hearts echo with gratitude For their ceaseless vigilance.

The caption "Eld Verndari" is in tribute to the fire and rescue workers who selflessly worked around the clock amidst the smoke and gases at Litla-Hrút eruption in 2023. They are the guardians of fire, and they point us through the darkness to safety.

Eld Verndari is a reminder that we are not alone in the land of fire and Ice. There are people who are willing to help guide us in the right direction, and that brings me light in the dark chaotic world.
