The the birth of a royal child in the Elven court brought songs of celebration and joy to the city ruled by the Forest Mother and the High Archmage . But the child's lack of elven features at birth revealed secrets hidden in both parents' lineages they wished could have stayed hidden. Exiled at birth, child and mother found peace and refuge in the forest and 40 years later the young half elf wanders the world in search of wine, women and song but discovers stories and adventures far more fascinating than all of those... (well maybe two of those) find him at every turn. Wandering from village to village, town to town, the gifted bard finds quite by accident an ancient magic thought lost at the inception of creation and fumbles about weaving the echoes of THE 'Song of Creation' without realizing his own influence.
