The old T'Skrang finally stood up, and all eyes fell on him, everyone eager to hear what he had in store for them. He opened with the Ballad of Earthdawn, a wellknown song in all parts of Barsaive, so everyone sang along. Their hearts were moved by the bravery of the Earthdawn crew, and no matter how many times they've heard the song they all felt sad at the end when the Earthdawn dissapeared, never to be seen again.<br/>The next song was new to everyone. It told of the horrible ordeals the Scavian people had to endure during the Scourge, when their kaer was breached several times. They survived, but much was lost and they did no longer have the numbers to rebuild the famed city of Scavia once the Scourge ended.<br/>The next song was a happier one, the old favortie the Miller's Daughter, thoughthe bard sang it like it left a sour taste in his mouth. This mattered little to the people in the room, who laughed and sang along. At this point the inn were quite crowded, a performer like this they have never had the pleasure to hear before.<br/>The next song stirred the heart of Garashna in particular, as the bard sang the Lament of Cara Fahd, the song of the fall of the proud ork nation of Cara Fahd wich had already almost passed from memory by the time the Scourge hit and people had to seek shelter. Could this really be true, Gara wondered. Had there once been such a nation were orks lived free and answered to no kings but their own? The mere possibility made her heart swell in her chest.<br/>The next song was one of the many songs about the Old Man of the Nets. It was familiar to most of them, you could not live so close to the T'Skrang without hearing the many legends conserning this mythical figure.<br/>Everyone had to agree, no matter their personal feelings toward the old bard, that he was a superior performer. Ari felt thorn. On one hand, she felt gratefull she got the chance to hear so many wonderfull songs she never heard before, but on the other hand her heart sank, she knew she could never compete with someone as skilled as him.
