Public songs
These are songs that Beleth has sung at various parties, and are thus open to public knowledge.

My Warden Love
My love's hair shines copper bright
The sun can not compare
Only his eyes have as much light
None other is as fair

My love is honored in all the land
Yes, he's quite well known
He helped against a Blight to stand
And since then his fame has grown

My love's lips will beguile
Hide the humor in his heart
But take one look at that smile
And his act will fall apart

My love gave me great aid
I gave him a great favor
My undying love was all he bade
A fair trade for a lifesaver

Dearest one, I accept your fee
You'll always have my troth
So that you and all can truly see
I will always fulfill an oath

Fiercest Fighter

He's quiet and quick and his daggers are wicked,
The fiercest fighter of the People
But any who dare to harm one of his own
Learn loyalty can be lethal
Yes, loyalty can be lethal

Oh, fiercest fighter, when will you see
All of the greatness I know you can be
Oh, fiercest fighter, you don't fool me
Kindness lies behind those eyes like the sea

He's bold and as blunt as his daggers are sharp,
But if you and him are friendly,
You will find a singer that has no peer,
A voice that the sweetest bird would envy
Yes, that the sweetest bird would envy

Oh, fiercest fighter, when will you see
All of the greatness I know you can be
Oh, fiercest fighter, you don't fool me
Kindness lies behind those eyes like the sea

Those who don't know him might be forgiven
For only seeing that angry veneer
But trust me when I say that his lips can be found
Kissing away bitter tears,
Oh, he kisses away bitter tears

Oh, fiercest fighter, when will you see
All of the greatness I know you can be
Oh, fiercest fighter, you don't fool me
Kindness lies behind those eyes like the sea

Private Songs

These are songs that Beleth has only sung in private settings, to trusted individuals. It's safe to assume her close CR might've heard it, but you can ask to be sure.

The Woods of Arlathan
[Note: Follows the tune of this song.]

Once there was a maiden elf
Surely Mythal had her favored
Fair as the moon she was
And fairer was her nature

In the woods of Arlathan
In a realm with trees of gold
In the woods of Arlathan
Does her tale unfold

She loved herself a handsome man
So wise and strong and cordial
But alas he was no elf like she
No, this young man was mortal

In the woods of Arlathan
With beauty to make you ache
In the woods of Arlathan
Don't love what death can take

She had herself a brother dear
Who warned her leave him be
For an elf who lives alongside men
Lose their immortality

In the woods of Arlathan
Where pools like mirrors glisten
In the woods of Arlathan
Young love will never listen

She took the man into her bed
Though her brother saw disaster
And as she laid with her love
So eternity did pass her

In the woods of Arlathan
Place of splendor so dreamlike
In the woods of Arlathan
So tragedy did strike

She said her love would ever be
And begged him to ever stay
He said Nay, I have a love at home
with a baby on the way

In the woods of Arlathan
Where nature was an art
In the woods of Arlathan
Laid her broken heart

She wailed how could this be
When she'd given for him her life
He said she was a lady fair
But an elf was not a wife

In the woods of Arlathan
That never had known death
In the woods of Arlathan
They beheld her last breath

Her brother swore in grief and tears
He's killed my sister with his lust
Humans will ever be barred from here
And humans we will ever mistrust

In the woods of Arlathan
Secrets the forest knows
In the woods of Arlathan
Or that's how the story goes
