Ginah's tribute
Ginah's Tribute is an inscription located at the foot of Ginah's stone casket. Since Ginah's tomb was magically sealed, physical access to the inscription was cut off; however the inscription has been passed down through the generations verbally as a kind of prayer. It was initially passed down by the miners of Falhage Mine but, as time went on, the ever eternal Falhage Terrepees continued to pass on the prayer to future generations of miners.
Since the mine was lost, the prayer continues as a fairytale, often told to children to show the importance of bravery and selflessness. Plus kids love to hear about ancient stone giants.
The famous Bard, Noremin Nimblefinger, adapted the prayer to son. Nimblefinger was particularly interested in adapting folklore to music and created this piece during his tour of Stonebia. The piece is slow and sombre to respect Ginah's sacrifice, but always features some livliers sections to add a glow of hope to the whole piece. The piece was originally called the Hero of Falhage but was more commonly known as Ginah's Lament.
Through the years a few stone themed mercenary bands have roamed the lands; most notably the Stone Swords, and the Hard Place. These bands would often sing Ginah's Lament while travelling or marching into battle, often followed by a brief silence while the mercenaries said a silent prayer to Ginah for guidance and protection.
