So this is primarily for
aliaspiral but I hope that everyone can enjoy it. She was commenting recently on her comfort reads and mentioned a liking for Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series. I offered some of the songs associated with that universe, but then couldn't decide and so ended up with a bit of an "album" for Valdemar. Everything is in one big zipped file (as I'm just figuring out this whole lj thing and didn't want to confuse myself too much :-)
If you really want an individual song I'm sure it can be arranged.
Obviously these will make more sense if you know the books, but if you don't they can still be entertaining.
1 - 3 deal with Sun and Shadow classic Herald's in Talia's time
1 - Meeting
2 - Sun and Shadow ( the song she sings as a duet with DIrk in Arrow's Flight (I think - for some reason I can't locate those books at the moment)
3 - Windrider Unchained
4 - 8 deal with Kerowyn, Tarma and Kethry
4 - Kerowyn's Ride
5 - Three's (Three things never anger or you will not live for long, a wolf with cubs, a man with power and a woman's sense of wrong - drivel yes but
so good)
6 - The Leslac Version (What happens when Tarma and the bard that plagues her Leslac "share" a story)
7 - Women of Steel (a personal favourite)
8 - Oathbreakers
9 - 11 what would Valdemar be without a little Vanyel angst
9 - Demonbane (Vanyel smiting the Karsites to the earth - their words, not mine)
10 - Magic's Price
11 - Shadowlover
12 - Seleney's (The Queen's) POV
12 - The Cost of the Crown
13 - Talia and Dirk
13 - Maiden's Hope
14 - Back to Skandranon's time
14 - Send in the SIlver Gryphons
So Enjoy. Comments would be nice. I'd like to see who enjoys it, or feels it deserves a stern mocking.

p.s. If for some reason any of this doesn't work, let me know and maybe someone can help me fix it *grin*
