# The Songlines of Veyra

```saaru
Sit, little hunter. Before the Consortium came, we carried everything we knew in song:
where the lilies close, which moss remembers a footstep, how to ask a skywing for its back.
Now the machines are in the forest, and you need the songs quickly.
Here they are. More will come to you as you walk the eleven places. Listen for the Echoes.
```
