AN ORIGINAL
SANTHARIAN SONG
This is a children's song from West-Central Santharia, often sung as a
delightful pre-lullaby to get tired children into their sleepsmocks
and onto their pillows. The chorus, nonsense imitation of the riccio's
chortle though it be, is remarkably catchy and one may often find it
still 'stuck' in the ear after singing it the night before!
Please note that the last word of the chorus is more of a sort of
full-body 'shudder' which mimes the characteristic little quill-rattle
of a woebegone pricklepig, and one of the children's favourite
parts...

AN ORIGINAL
SANTHARIAN SONG
This song is from the Kuglimz peoples and is a traditional song, sung
at weddings and births to welcome the beloved into the family or the
new baby into the community. At weddings, the song is traditionally
sung by the fa'limus (bridegroom) and ewyn'limus (bride) to each
other, sometimes together, sometimes separately, and sometimes
alternating verses and singing the chorus together. When sung for a
new baby, the parents usually sing it together when the child is
formally welcomed into the community. It may be done with or without
instrumental accompaniment.

SANTHARIAN SONG
The Sleepy Mice are definitely among the strangest species of
Santharia that every mother and child know about. When it's dusk and
the the Injèrá is settling to rest these tiny critters will appear and
nibble on the babies sending them in the land of dreams. Need some
music to accompany their appearance? - Then look no longer!

AN ORIGINAL
SANTHARIAN SONG
This song is one of a cycle which Bard Judith has composed and plans
to perform before the Masters in Bardavos to earn her third bard's
ring. It is dedicated to her friend and compeer in music, the bard
Gean Firefeet. The subject, while ostensibly about one of the
treacherously lovely islands in the Scattersand Shoal archipelago,
'Zandiria', also alludes to the journey we all must take at the end of
our lives.

AN ORIGINAL
SANTHARIAN SONG
At the end of the day, the Pig-and-Whistle is the tavern to be. Like
every pub you've ever wanted to live in, it's the place where
everybody knows your name, the fire is always roaring and the ale is
always frothing. Yup, the benches and tables are made of heavy scarred
wood, with generations of students and artists' carvings dug into
them, and the big iron sconces hold the requisite dripping candles.
There is a bountifully buxom barmaid, and the innkeep is a sturdy
fellow with sharp but kindly eyes. Judith of Bardavos got her start
here; neither she nor the tavern will ever forget that, so she is a
regular performer on the Pig's stage, when she is in town. Today she
sings the song "Santharian Ale" for you!
