House Eirako - House of the Harp

From Kronopolis and the Flat Plane

General


"Music, its my second pulsing heart

Each beat a measure of my hope, my will

Solemn and tranquil, fierce and thrill

Music, its more to me than just art

Just listen, listen to the skipping tune

Flowing through us, from touch of skin

Cascading emotions, the melody within

A piece of peace within to please, please begin

Each strucken chord, struck a chord

A strum to ivory with arched hands

Over strings and frets the fingers pans

A chord played with fiddle bow of silver strands"

Ancestry

Alv

"Alver, or elves in common, are a species of immortal beings whose ancestry originate from the Fae Realms. From those estranged lands the elves ventured, and for this, the reasons are many and varied. Some elven societies lost their way, others their gods, some escaped the chains of faith and others to spread it further through the earthly planes. Uniting them is their searching for either solace and peace or adventure and dominion, after having to leave their sacred homes."

Fey Ancestry

  • You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance

  • Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Staðrálv

"City elves like all elves adapt to their surroundings, but unlike their other elven brethren, their communal, joyous spirit has been twisted by the urban ways."

Decadent Trance
  • Decadence and desire have corrupted their mostly pure hearted nature. City elves do not possess the natural ability to go into trance, instead they may either sleep and long rest as normal for 8 hours, or they may engage in an activity which stimulates one of their intense interests or excessive desire-seeking behaviours.
  • This activity is unique for each elf, however, they are usually closely aligned with their house affiliation. When engaged in an activity this way, it works as a sort of trance and over 4 hours time, you gain the same benefit as 8 hours of sleep.
