In rare cases, other races that grow up with the Carragh and dedicate their lives to spiritual enlightenment claim to be able to hear the song. The Carragh describe the song as the music that the universe makes when it unfolds in time. The song features heavily in Carragh spirituality and is the reason so few laws are required within Carragh clans.
