Kipling?

Kipling?

I don't know - I've never Kipled.

Pict Song, for instance:

The Nac Mac Feegle (sometimes called "Pictises", from the Discworld) go where they please... and this song calls to them.

Or 'The Song of the Red War-Boat':

Perhaps a confidence song, granting enough steel in the spine to stand against the gods themselves...? (Not the best reading of the rhyme, but the best I can come up with at the moment.)

And of course, especially if he's up against any Fae enemies...
Cold Iron.

Perhaps it afflicts everyone in the AoE with the same vulnerability to iron that the Fae are said to have, rather than being an anti-Fae song.
