Cantagora, a world of magic, cultures, and politics.
Magic is woven into the fabric of this world, but only those who devote their lives to uncovering its secrets may harness it. Amongst the various types of magic, music is the most respected.
In ancient times, a war waged among the planes. Named "The Sacrilege", it left races of the Material Plane suffering. A human diva named Nehal stopped the war with her voice alone. A Song of Perish she sang, in the middle of battle, causing the deaths of numerous mortals, celestials, devils, and many other races, including herself. No one who had heard the whole song survived, but with the work of scholars and scribes, the song was reconstructed and hidden in four musical scores.
In the Material Plane where we exist, another war took place almost immediately. "The Fragmentation" was a war sparked among different tribes and kingdoms, each wanting to lay their hands on the four musical scores.
Emerging from an era of conflict, four kingdoms: Florian, Holle, Cuervos, and Kholiada, each obtained one of the four legendary scores, becoming four of the most powerful kingdoms in the Material Plane. Not long after, these four kingdoms, along with a few smaller ones, became the Confederation of Chanson, keeping a sliver of peace across the plane.
Now, 300 years since the establishment of the Confederation (CC 300)...
The scores became legend, a mere few lines in history books.
Scholars think that the scores were long ago destroyed, and the Song of Perish is no more. But there are still whispers that the races who fought in "The Sacrilege" bide their time, searching for the scores, preparing once again to conquer the land.
