I think it's about time I revealed the latest event that I've been coming up with.
For thousands of years, Aceon has existed, and hundreds of times a man has risen to power and claimed himself King of all Aceon. Since Aceon was born, this tower has existed but few can divine its location, let alone seize the treasure within. It was the home of Aceon's first King and the last exile of a long dead civilization. This man, alone, used forbidden magics to construct his home: The Ebon Talon- A spire so vast and grand that it pierced the clouds above.
When his castle was complete, the King built himself a thousand mechanical servants, made of copper and instructed them all to write down everything he spoke. He told them stories of his Childhood, of the time-before-time and his people who had long ago died out. He was the last of his kind, he told them, and finally his own life sputtered out.
Years passed and this spire was forgotten and, with all knowledge of its existance locked inside of itself, it went undisturbed for Millennia.
Now, runes have been discovered- tablets with a long-forgotten language written on it that had been painstakingly translated by long-dead druids of a long-forgotten order...
Every two days, I will post one of the Quatrains of the Lost Runes.
If you think you have the solution, PM me with the Quatrain you've solved and your solution/interpretation.
There are 15 acceptable answers in total.
Anyone who solves one of the riddles will get a leg-up on the competition during the Event.
If your answer is correct, do not tell anyone the solution to the riddle you figured out! If you tell other people your advantage will be reduced and the event
may become impossible to be completed.
The first four solutions will be revealed after they have all been figured out. The other 9 will
never be revealed.

The first runes read...
⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎
Present thy Scept and
With door so sealed in elder's clasp
Fate without, prithee art gowned?
Abated now with chest so lightened.
⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍
The second set of runes appear:

Bear thy gold circlet, now
The guardian stands in noble pose;
Heartfire dousen mere with breath
Back-bitten by yet still one who'd dare plot
⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍⚍
The third set of runes appear:
⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎⚎
It shall then wake
Rent not by fire, blood nor asp
Clement with what immortal surely pined to own
Cursed only through what has been slighted
