Enernity? That seems to be a key.

Internet translators. Don't you love them? I got something slightly different:

Kings will sit on thrones encrusted in gold
In inlaid with gold, they will die falling enernity,
Anger begins and the reasons for the fall,
Hatred of all, death will never shoot again show

Enernity's the only one that's not a word, so it could be something important.

Hopefully we don't have to use the wording of the translation to solve this clue, because different translators provide slightly different results.

I thing "enernity" could be an error; eternity fits better.

Unless the n-t relationship means something?

In the original post, enernity was typed out in what I guess is supposed to be English compared with the rest of the clue.

EDIT: The majority of the clue is Russian, if that helps anyone

This is my chain of events:

The assassinator typed out the English, made a typo, and plugged it into Google Translate.
The translator spit out his clue, with the word enerity in it.
I think eternity belongs in the clue.

OR:

The rest of the post is irrelevant, only the word enernity matters.
Messing around with the word enernity:

rmrtmoyu (one letter to the right on a keyboard)
wbweburt (one letter to the left)
xmxirgb (fold-over alphabet)

For some reason, I doubt all of those, therefore, I conclude that it is a typo.

Kings will sit on thrones are inlaid in gold
In inlaid by gold, they will die hits enernity [eternity?],
The anger begins also the reasons of falling,
Hatred of the ends, death will remove never to show again
I got this translation from this site. (I use it for French homework and it's usually pretty accurate.) Since all the translations seem to agree, I think we can concentrate on the meaning of the clue instead of what exactly the correct translation to English is. I think it might be referring to a poem or some piece of literature, but I'm not sure.

First letter of every line makes:
KIAH

Google results for that point to Houston, Texas. Any chance that could be anything, or just a coincidence.

Can't use the first letter of every line, because each translator is different.

For that matter, nothing can be encrypted for that same reason.

We have to take the clue at face value...

Although he doesn't seem to be affiliated in anyway with the assassinator game...

Also, in 44, I believe there was some discussion of a clue leading to Russia (DS was the assassin...)
