Songs of Otan
Where there's adventure, there are songs!
Where there's sea, there are shanties!
Where there's wine, there are whores!
Always just Kobolds
(to the tune of She's Always a Woman by Billy Joel sung by Dirti Nelli)
They smell pretty bad from what we've been reading.
They'll callously cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
Some say they're squishy and call them Ungir.
But I can't concur cause they're always just Kobolds to me.
Ooooooohhh, they take care of themselves, they'll steal what they want, they're agents of strife.
Ooooooohhh and they never give up, and they never give in, they just fuck up your life.
They're frequently rude and they're suddenly cruel.
They do as they please, they're just really big tools.
And they can't be convicted, they spit and they drool.
The most they will do is throw daggers at you but they're always just Kobolds to me.

Ballad of Zhadyra's Privateers
Composed by Zhadyra's Privateers, the crew of the Briny Baroness (to the tune of Stan Rogers' "Barrett's Privateers"")
Oh, the year was two-hundred sixty-one
(How I wish I was in Shokan now!)
The governor's letter of marque came in
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen
God damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the seas for Ortalyk gold
We'd loose no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Jagalik pier
The last of Zhaydra's Privateers
Oh, Madil Zhaydra cried the town
(How I wish I was in Shokan now!)
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
Would make for him the Baroness' crew
God damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the seas for Ortalyk gold
We'd loose no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Jagalik pier
The last of Zhaydra's Privateers
The Baroness, she was a sickening sight,
(How I wish I was in Shokan now!)
She'd a list to the port and her sails a fright
With the crew pumping bilge from her day and night
God damn them all!
I was told we'd sail the seas for Ortalyk gold
We'd loose no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Jagalik pier
The last of Zhaydra's Privateers
