Harp

Lilt and dirge in bough astrung

As sharp as soft, his doom asung

Omens

1. The wind rises, rustling branches of nearby trees, almost sounding like music for a moment.
2. A frail carpenter is rummaging through the woods, grumbling as he searches for just the right type of wood. He says he’s working on a great project, but is reluctant to share details.
3. The carpenter cries out, he’s fighting off six wood centipedes as he tries to carry freshly cut wood back to his workshop.
4. The wind stirs the branches and leaves, glittering music in the air, now loud enough to hear clearly (see opposite). This affects all in the Realm.
5. The carpenter, riding a rickety cart, the Harp concealed beneath a grey blanket. He appears fraught, insisting the Knights take the Harp and make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
6. A parade of white-cloaked acolytes lead a council of Seers from across the Realm. They declare that the Harp must be buried until it is truly needed.
