AN ORIGINAL SANTHARIAN SONG
Music has always been regarded as an integral part of culture, for humans, elves, dwarves, orcs and hobbits alike. However, few races have absorbed music as seamlessly into their culture as the Eyelians have. While music is typically used as an auditory form of entertainment, Eyelian music is sometimes visual (as is the case in the Menhov-Hekona "Beast-Tongue" songs), and it has often been used for practical uses, namely communication involving drums. Nearly every young Eyelian has grown up with a drum or flute in hand, and learning the songs of the Eyelian people is a task begun at the youngest ages. These songs are often sung at major ceremonies (the three rites of the Eyelians come to mind), or after a particulalry bountiful harvest or hunting trip. In essence, Eyelians will sing and play for many occasions - be it a somber funeral, or a joyous birthday.

AN ORIGINAL SANTHARIAN SONG
The Eyelians ("Ey'ylians", also called "Tamers") represent a human tribe of southern Sarvonia, whose oldest ancestors lived in a land to the west of Sarvonia where they were persecuted because of their belief that the Gods used Great Spirits found in common nature to speak to the people. They fled the land with very little resources and finally settled at the fertile regions around the Wind Bay, the mouth of the Thaehelvil River and the current New-Santhala. Through the course of time the Eyelian Kingdom has formed here.
