These are some of the more popular original works written and often sung by Withendail Moonshae before his mysterious disappearance. The popularity of his songs outweighed many of his fellow bards, but his popularity was mostly in the eastern areas.
Nearly all his songs were written based on his
experiences. The mayor of Hulore
and Withendail did not see eye to eye on many issues and his party narrowly
avoided jail time there. The people loved him, the children especially because
of the gifts he often brought them. The mayor still takes flack from the song
"The Evil Mayor of Hulore". The song says that the mayor controls
hoards of unstoppable zombies to crush his enemies. This is, of course, pure
fantasy.
