FWIW, I have a tune that works with the words for that great raiders
song, "Marching Through Nostor" (H. Beam Piper, _Lord Kalvan of
Otherwhen_). I've found that I can adapt the concept rapidly to many
forms of raiding / warfare (cf. the unofficial march of the Klingon
Tactical Command, "Raiding Through Hydra", words attributed to
Admiral "Imperious Cat", KTC-KIS).
Does Trimaris have any two-syllable baronial names within its
borders? Would make the adaptation simpler...

Sounds like a plan to me, but we'd really need to give him (an
attributed) persona name and device... Robert of Krusadenveldt,
bearing Sable, a yataghan and a Yuetshi knife in saltire, on a chief
Or two crowns ancient sable, perhaps?
