Yet, amongst them, some have dedicated themselves to creating tunes for all to enjoy. They are known as Tuners and are said to have the power of tunes within their spark and play to their heart's content and to all who decide to listen to them.

History

Tunes of Comfort

Since the first attunements played, Tuners have created the wonderous sounds they make with them. Much of it dates back to the Dawn Age; with that being said, the air often had the sounds of tunes being played across the world's four corners. Many believe the Spark of Creation embedded its tune into its people, with only a few learning to hear it. Even after it collapses, the Tuners play a critical role in the Age of Shadows as beacons. Of hope when only darkness remains. Bring out a light of comfort where fear and paranoia made up the daily lives of its people. Many of them were hunted because of this in an attempt to extinguish this hope, yet they remained ever-defiant and continued to spread their teaching to future generations. With each one passing dawn, their tunes and attunements keep the spirit of their wonderous sounds alive for all to never forget them. When the world was restored, and the Age of Crowns came to pass, they finally began to travel the globe and spread their wonders to the world.
It was thought that many Tuners had come and gone, creating their tunes for their audiences to listen to, and went down in history with some being greater than others. Yet each of their tunes would be passed down their lyrics to keep them from fading away into nothingness. It has allowed Tuners to keep the memory of all tunes that came before them often calling it the Verse of Remembrance, a place where they believe that all tunes come together from all Tuners to create a symphony of sounds that create the most beautiful tune to be ever heard. Yet they never cling to the past and continue to create new tunes for people to listen to as tunes are like the sea, never staying the same and always changing. So long as Tuners have their passion for creating their tunes they will never stop spreading across the world for all willing to listen and enjoy the enchantment in their lives.
