The Song of Wars is one of the songs detailing the oral history of the listeners.[1] It was likely one of the songs written by the Last Legion in order to keep their memories alive.[2]
It has at least fifty-five stanzas, and it presumably details the history of various listener wars.[3] Notably, the song states that the Shattered Plains were not created by the listener gods, the Fused. It also indicates that written records with more information about the Shattering once existed, but they have since been lost.[1]
Excerpts[edit]
“They blame our people
For the loss of that land
The city that once covered it
Did range the eastern strand.
The power made known in the tomes of our clan
Our gods were not who shattered these plains. ”—55th stanza[1]
