Collection of Songs throughout Tamriel

by Thenruir

Various songs from around Tamriel

---

understand many of these may be controversial, but the empire has deemed it possible to be published, no matter how dirty the song, no matter how tough the patriotism is for the empire, they are allowing this. Thus, I will publish this, as it's an Imperial Citizen's nature to live and breathe with song.

This first work is an old song by the Skaal, which I collected in my travels around Solstheim.

We are the All-Maker's children
We are the Greedy Man's enemies
We are free by right,
But the Empire has come
And want to dominate all.
They rip the land apart,
They disgrace the All-Maker
They destroy the forests,
And polute [sic] the rivers.
They come bringing war,
To our peaceful land.
Our peaceful land of Solsthiem [sic].
They come with their false gods,
They come with their lies,
Lies about peace and prosperity.
But we know.
We know that all they want
Is power and wealth,
And once they take all of us,
They'll just go away
And leave us to die.
So there can be no peace,
No peace with Imperials,
Man of stone and steel and lies.
There can be only war!
But now it's getting worse,
The Bloodmoon prophecies have started,
And Hircine's Hounds walk the land,
Killing all in their path.
And until the Great Hunt has ended
And the Bloodmoon is gone,
We won't live in peace
As the All-Maker ment [sic] us to be.

This work is a hymn of the ancient Ashlanders of Vvardenfell. Oddly enough, I recovered this in Necrom, near the eastern harbour [sic].

The vacant glow of our Hearth
The subtle warmth of our Brethren
The ashy skies lay waste to our camps
The tedious Blight kills off our herds
We stand persecuted and banished from our Good Lands
Forced into the backcountry, like savages and dogs
Imperials and fake Dunmer alike, our own blood
The false Great Houses and Temple and Churches
All take no heed in our pain
Lord Nerevar proclaimed our rights
With One-Clan-Under-Moon-And-Star
We await the day our servitude is reaped and rewarded
We await the fall of the Devil and the False Gods
We yearn for unity between Clan and House
We pray for the Imperial yolk to leave our shores
Our shoulders free from the weight of unjust who return
Back to the west, and so Vvardenfel is once again Resdayn, anon Velothi
Seven Trials and Seven Curses within Seven Visions test the Incarnates
Many fall, but One remains

It seems that there are not many outlandish works to be found in Tamriel, but I will continue to look, and add to the songs of Tamriel.
