Eldritch
The book from which Lisinthir Nase Galare first taught the Queen Ransomed the Universal language and Eldritch stories was in fact a book of songs; from context, probably narrative songs like ballads.[1]
Solanth recites "The Star-Crowned Huntress" in the harem, which tells "of the maiden Risaliel and her affianced lord, Shorethenian..." [2]
When Lisinthir returns to Escutcheon for the birth of his heir, events call to public mind the folktale of the servant girl Mina, who freed a unicorn from a snare set by her lord, and was transformed into a unicorn to save her from his wrath. The story is associated with the lily, as a symbol of transformation.[3]

Gledig
Unnamed song, sung by Carey as an identification to Svetlana Karishenikov:[4]
The moon went away on that casual day, determined to drink all the leavings. So it was no surprise when at day’s demise the moon was asleep past the evening; the moon was asleep past the evening.
