Croatan Song

"...Hear now the tales of the past. Sing of the ancient times and

the bright morning and golden afternoon of our lives. For in the

time before the Wyrmcomers, we did not yet fear the coming of the

night. Our voices lit the darkness then as we sang of our triumphs

and sorrows. My song tonight holds within it the tales of those times, of little brother Wendigo and elder brother Uktena. These

tales may show our power and our pride and our love for our lands

and Kin. Yet, it is the one who is absent of whom I truly sing, for

if we heed not the tale I tell, there will be none of us left to sing the

greatest song of sorrow, known to us as the Croatan Song."
