Style summary
Music generally for celebration not war, songs sung while performing work, songs about travelling, fate, forests, and blood. Navarr bards are very into their heritage; lost cities and sacrifice but music concentrates on remembrance rather than lamentation. Sources are primarily Scottish, Irish, Canadian, Galician and gypsy folk tunes, fast fiddle and pipes alongside soft unison singing.

How to adapt your repertoire
No tradition would be 'wrong' in the Navarr as they travel throughout the Empire. However, to keep a distinctive sound for Navarr music, try to encourage unison singing.
