The sailors of the Terolus Human Military's Naval Division sometimes sing shanties when in port or safe waters. But they are cautious about it when patrolling, as sound carries well over open water.

The Merita is a very fine inn in Skyshroud's Sebastian district, catering to wealthy noble travelers. Their gimmick is that they also offers rooms at a steep discount to people with a reputation for very interesting (such as minstrels and adventurers): as cocktail-chatter counterparts, as connections for business, as potential romantic partners. It’s a strategy to convince wealthier, duller noble clientele to pay a premium in order to share some sparkling conversation, or in the hopes that they will be able to pass for one of the glintelligentsia themselves.

The infantrymen of the Terolus Human Military like to sing marching songs, called cadences, which are usually led by a caller who can keep a steady pace. Many of these are ribald and violent, meant to stir the blood as well as synchronize their strides.

Philbert's House of Wonders is a middlebrow theatre in the Ferdinand district of Skyshroud, popular with lesser nobles, merchants, and travelers. Shows are held there nightly, displaying all manner of talents: dancers, minstrels, mummers, jugglers, players, and even stripteases. Philbert charges a copper a head at the door, and tips are often thrown onto the stage to be collected and divvied up at the end of the night. Waitresses mingle with the crowd all evening, serving slightly overpriced drinks as well.

The Grand Dame is an old and stately opera house in the Sebastian district of Skyshroud, cut into the living rock of a mountain peak by the mountain dwarves at the founding of the city. The master mason who directed the stonecutting ensured superb sound quality, which has since been augmented with subtle spells and magical artifice. The Dame has been in active use for 340 years, and shows are held there twice a week on Waterday and Freeday, attended by the wealthiest and most influential people in Skyshroud's noble circles. A ticket costs 50 gold pieces, or 400 gold pieces for a private box.

Minstrels of great renown are said to be able to play music so sweet that it can seduce anyone who listens to it with the power of a magical suggestion.
