The most accomplished sword-singer in history was Frandar Hunding, whose writings on the subject were revered by the Redguards centuries later. The sword-singers were instrumental in claiming the entire province of Hammerfell and establishing a new homeland for the Yokudan people. Although the tradition of sword-singing originated in Yokuda, it was brought to the shores of Tamriel by the Ra Gada in the First Era. They sought strength of body, and of mind.
Singers were capable of astonishing feats of swordsmanship, and were viewed by some to be as much mages as warriors. Sword-singers were an order of Yokudan warriors who followed the 'Way of the Sword', a martial philosophy on blade mastery. For your people are Redguards, which means they come easily to the Way of the Sword, and once they have their hands once again on the hilts of blades, and learn to quote once more from the Book of Circles, they will be a match for any folk in all the round world, be they ever so numberless.'
