The Demon Crow’s Lament (Lucanis’ Song)The Bards of Thedas (and ChaosHerald)
“Look, here’s the deal. You aren’t in Antiva? You can play the song. Audience might like it, might not. Bit of a risk, but that’s show business. You’re in Antiva? You could play the song. The audience will love it. Antivans adore their crows. And their music. But it is definitely a risk. Rumor has it there is a standing contract from the Dowager First Talon – shut up, that is absolutely a thing – for the hands of any Trovatore who dares air the Dellamorte’s dirty laundry for the common folk. Hm? The rest of the crows? Oh, they’re fine with it. Bunch of catty gossips, the lot of them. Still might try to kill you. The actual First Talon himself hates the attention, but if you-know-who is on his arm? Not a problem. He’ll tolerate anything for his tesoro. And his cousin – yes, yes, the one in the song – he loves the damned thing. You catch him in the audience and he’ll buy you a drink afterwards – It might not even be poisoned!”
(This song can be heard in cafés and on street corners throughout Antiva and anywhere else where the Crows do business. Anyone who knows where it originally came from wisely keeps their mouth shut.)
