Namu of the Waterfall is an old Tamrin love song. It is first mentioned in Akrad’s Children though Rasel refers to the underlying legend in both Rasel’s Song and Mannok’s Betrayal.
Namu dances to the song
of the rainbow spray
silver voice mingling with
double moonlit ray.
Drifting through fine mist
bright child of sylvan folk
in water-gated cave she plays.
An echo haunting the waters’ spray
Her voice mingles in double moons’ bright ray.
Mingling in double moons’ bright ray.
Stark shouts disturb
the shining dark
booted feet, flailing arms,
brutal blows are struck
lucid water churnes
as lost prince is stripped by thieves
and left to die in heartless lark.
At last the villains are gone
Namu weeps to see the bloodied dawn
Swimming out to pool’s edge
she looks upon Solik’s prone form
crystal waters sullied
from his seeping wounds,
her heart is torn.
