The Eternal Song

About the adventure

The Continent of Medriand is a quiet one for the most part, sure it has the standard bandits, dragons and undead roaming the lands as the result of a necromancer. However, there has been no ‘Demon Kings’ , ‘Elder Dragons’ , or ‘Heroes of Legend’. There has been growth and prosperity across the lands, rumors of another continent , one with technologies great and vast reaching. From armors of giant metals that stand for defense to magics that seemed inconceivable to even the oldest Archmages. These impossible advances were no less than miracles of this time. Thus the continent was dubbed ‘Penuma’ , or ‘Land of Blessings’. It said that the ‘First Surge’ is to have emerged from this continent. It was Dusk across the land , when a voice broke apart the environment of silence and rowdy alike. “Who is to say that magic is only for the gifted? No, it is the right of every soul to sing its song, know your song seedlings…Bloom into delightful Flora!” Following this was a burst of vibrant blue energy , rumored to originate from the Sea of Ends. Where the first Explorers had sailed to find Penuma, there three great effects following the burst. ‘The True Sleep’, ‘Walk of the Symphony’ , and ‘The Everlasting Song’. Every man , woman , and child, elven or not , fell to a gentle slumber in their position. This event caused many deaths, but those who survived , walked. They walked in dream , in thought, in concept , a musical sheet of the highest order they themselves saw their note in yet, none can place what the purpose of the song. Which leads to the song itself , the survivors of The True Sleep , would float in the air, as they found their unique tattoos inscribed upon various places on their body. They let loose their new signatures spells in unison, many more died in this event , some to the power of the very spell they fly, others to the spells of others, and in much rarer cases these very dead were brought back by the spells of some others . The Everlasting Song is composed entirely of humanoids, broken down into individual ‘notes’, the signature spells that they are born with. However , other creatures of other types didn’t receive this boon for better or worse. Prompting jealousy across the planes, a search for what power could bring across this kind of change. Yet even with their power, rumors of Gods, celestials, fiends, aberrations, and monstrosities alike found themselves astounded in the sense that they themselves cannot seem to find Penuma, despite rumors of humanoids still managing to stumble across it. However it would not be called the ‘First Burst’ if there wasn’t another that followed it.
