The Song of Histories is one of the songs detailing the oral history of the listeners. It is the way in which the listeners were able to keep their history and pass it on to the younger generations.[1][2] It is at least 127 stanzas long.[2]
Excerpts[edit]
“'Tis said it was warm in the land far away
When Voidbringers entered our songs.
We brought them home to stay
And then those homes became their own,
It happened gradually.
And years ahead 'twil still be said 'tis how it has to be. ”—12th stanza[1]
“Smokeform for hiding and slipping between men.
A form of power, like human Surges.
Bring it 'round again.
Though crafted of gods,
It was by Unmade hand.
Leaves its force to be but one of foe or friend. ”—127th stanza[2]
