A song Rand plays at the Nine Rings after Mistress Madwen mistakenly believes it to be Hurin's and asks Rand if Hurin would play. the soldiers in the tavern knew it by a different name, with different words

"We rode down to River Iralell

just to see the Tairen come.

We stood along the riverbank

with the rising of the sun.

Their horses blacked the summer plain,

their banners blacked the sky.

But we stood our ground on the banks

of River Iralell.

Oh, we stood our ground.

Yes, we stood our ground.

Stood our ground along the river in the morning."
