A loresong is a story associated with an item that can only be observed by a bard loresinging to it. It is not a very common property on items, though many items that came from the Hunt for History have stories, and therefore loresongs, attached to them.

Custom Loresong

Custom loresongs are sometimes offered at festivals and pay events as a delayed service prize.

Guidelines
  • The custom loresong may not work with all scripts. A scripted item that already has a unique or non-standard loresong cannot have a custom loresong added. The GameMaster running the service should be able to tell you if your item is acceptable.
  • The loresong may have between one and eight verses the bard can see. This includes the "As you sing to..." lead in and the "...your vision fades." ending.
  • For every verse, the loresong must also have a line or so that everyone watching the bard might experience, see, or hear that references the loresong.
  • Each of the above can only be 1024 characters long including spaces. Each sentences has to have two spaces between them.
  • There should may be custom messaging for both the bard and the audience when the bard reaches the end of the loresong and there are no additional verses.
  • Names of players can only be used in the loresong if that player approves.
