This story may be found in the Frethoni Book of Fables, as well as (in a rather different version) Aunt Sannie's Babetales. The version here is similar to the way it is told in the Mithrals. The "White Corbie" tells us about a farmer's little boy, who encounters something he thought impossible to exist: a white corbie, who can even talk to him. For a little help, he even will answer the boy any question he might have. What will it be? And what will the white corbie answer? - Read and find out!
 

This romantic tale of loyalty and temptation has nonetheless a realistic feel, conjuring up the cold of the Northlands and the beauty of its determined heroine with equal efficaciousness. Adults will enjoy it for its tidy triparate form and solid Northern morality; children will find the repetitions engaging, the trials of the Princess thrilling, and the conclusion satisfying. We have set it down here as we heard it recounted by a Skald of Hargath, and may presume from internal clues that the story indeed originates from the region..

The ill-favoured youth who is the protagonist gains his eventual reward from the minor but important character of the Morjual, the humble cave bat from which the story takes its name. Sparkling with humor and little cultural details that make it so obviously a tale from the Thergerim, this tale can now take its place among other much-loved children's fables...

Ever heard of the Meguahari? The ones who stalk the fields of the dead, the dark souls of those who die unshriven, unloved, unforgiven, the ones, of which people do not speak of? And have you heard about this sorcerer, casting foul magic on a battlefield, calling them from their dark, damp graves? - Well, if you feel that you've missed something, then read on, but don't say that you haven't been warned...
