A <b>shanty</b> is a maritime work song sung by sailors to coordinate their actions and maintain morale. Shanties generally have a call-and-response structure, with a "[[shantyman]]" calling out a line of verse and the other sailors responding as the chorus. Each shanty is suited to a particular task, which is performed to the [[rhythm]] of the song. Aboard sailing ships in the [[Skaugan Main]], [[bards]] were in great demand as shantymen, especially because their shanties could be enhanced with magical energy. In addition to his own songs, [[Ka-Ess Lizardkin]] would have been familiar with many shanties and work songs of the period. Some of the most popular have been included in this index.
