The Inuk singer/songwriter Susan Aglukark wrote the song "O'Siem".
Quote:O Siem

We are all family

O Siem

We're all the same

O Siem

The fires of freedom

Dance in the burning flame

Siem o siyeya

All people rich and poor

Siem o siyeya

Those who do and do not know


Siem o siyeya

Take the hand of one close by

Siem o siyeya

Of those who know because they try

And watch the walls come tumbling down

O Siem

We are all family

O Siem

We're all the same

O Siem

The fires of freedom

Dance in the burning flame

Siem o siyeya

All people of the world

Siem o siyeya

It's time to make the turn

Siem o siyeya

A chance to share your heart

Siem o siyeya

To make a brand new start

And watch the walls come tumbling down

O Siem

We are all family

O Siem

We're all the same

O Siem

The fires of freedom

Dance in the burning flame

Fires burn in silence

Hearts in anger bleed

Wheel of change is turning

For the ones who truly need

To see the walls come tumbling down

O Siem

We are all family

O Siem

We're all the same

O Siem

The fires of freedom

Dance in the burning flame
Effect: This is probably influenced by the context in which I first encountered the song (the chorus appeared in a YA fantasy novel as a kind of anthem for the good guys in the final battle), but I see this granting Doug and his allies within AoE a confidence (and possibly competence) boost based on the number of allies within AoE other than themselves, and the strength of their connection to each other: it has no effect if Doug is going it alone and is only marginally useful in an Enemy Mine situation, but a collection of friends he made on the Walk would make it quite useful and a group the same size from Warriors Alpha would make it absurd.
Still, this song would only be useful in situations where the emotional or psychological battlefields are very important ones. The effect doesn't grant any actual fighting capability; it just makes Doug and his allies resistant (or with Warriors Alpha, completely and unwaveringly impervious) to feelings of hopelessness, emotional isolation, excessive fear, and related emotional and psychological hindrances.
Alternately or additionally, "O'Siem" could break any mind control or More Than Mind Control that turns someone against their loved ones.

Mm. Nice. I think I might even have a possible use in an upcoming story for it...
