Chordal
Where many tales of wondrous music coming from the forest beckons through the trees and whispered portions of the world, these individuals often find themselves involved on one side or the other. Sometimes being the whispering voice to beckon travelers to their doom, or investigating such a mystical musical presence in the woods themselves. These people of the Liev'tani find a kinship and experience with the wilds that few creatures can share and experience. Unique tapped to the spirits in a way that the music of the world flows through them, some would even consider them to be...witches.
