The Shake Song

Everyone gather round   Lets Shake the ground   All Jump up   All Fall down   Everyone scream and run around -Popular childerns song

Summary

This verse is well-loved throughout Terigoth, a favorite among children sung in small groups with accompanying dance steps. Yet, unbeknownst to many, its origin lies in the tragic events of the Land Shatter.

Historical Basis

The origins of the Shake song remain a mystery, but it emerged sometime after the devastating Landshatter occurred. Though the cataclysm left countless dead, dying, and homeless, this peculiar little tune somehow surfaced and has persisted for centuries, passed down from one generation of children to the next.

Spread

This song of unknown origan has spread far and wide across the Broken Sea and to the two remaining parts of the Terigoth. They say it started as a much longer and complex bards verse meant to show the suffering and hardships forced upon the broken isles but that original work seems to have been utterly lost to time with only this childerns rhyme remaining. Many suspect this tale of a lost bards song that became a childerns verse is widly untrue and that the song has the humblest of origans as nothing more then a verse created by childern in the aftermath of a diaster many may not of full comprehended.

Variations & Mutation

This verse has a number of variations in regards to its lines, the most popular being by region.   In Serrosia and New Serriosia   Everyone gather round   Lets all fight for the Crown   If we can't have it shake the ground   In the end we all fall down   In Paladius   Evil magic all around   In wizard kings no virtue can be found   Angry and petty we shake the ground   Until our walls upon us tumble down
