This is an introductory songbook for the novice bard*.  Within its pages is
a list of nine traditional songs that all bards should know.  The book
functions like a diary as well, as it leaves ample space for writing new
songs or revamping old ones.  It is the kind of well-bound tome that is
destined to be defaced with half-worked lyrics and melodies, and eventually
have a permanent crease as a result of being carried folded in a small
pocket.  

An inscription inside the front cover states:
excerpt from the poem 'Ode of Dragar Y'Ard'.

  ...so he decided to steal from the world he adored the musical notes
to make magical chords.

* It is first important to know that ability in music is core to the bard -
the greater his musical prowess, the more easily he can produce effects and
the more powerful those effects will become.  Musical ability is also
enhanced by the use of instruments - the more powerful a musical instrument
is, the more powerful a bard's magic becomes.  Bards learn through
experimentation and sharing how to create new songs that will produce new
effects.  

For more information on bardic song-magic, type 'HELP MUSIC' or 'HELP SONGS'.
