The Llorfiril, or Song Masters of the Elves, are revered among their kind as the original wielders of magic, harnessing the power of ancient melodies that resonate with the very essence of the universe. Through their ethereal voices and intricate harmonies, they evoked transformations in the material world, shaping reality itself. Believed to have discovered the celestial songs that weave through all existence, the Llorfiril held a mystical status akin to cults dedicated to sacred knowledge and cosmic harmony.
Among Elven societies, these masters were not just skilled singers but revered as keepers of profound secrets, passed down through generations in sacred rituals and secluded sanctuaries. Their belief mirrors the notion that celestial music, an unseen symphony of cosmic vibrations, maintains the delicate balance of creation -- a harmony of spheres governing the cosmos. The Llorfiril perceive their songs as keys to understanding and influencing the natural order.
Within their cults, disciples study under rigorous tutelage, learning not only the melodies but also the deep philosophical underpinnings that govern their use. The Llorfiril teach that mastery of these songs requires spiritual attunement, a profound connection to the rhythms of nature and the celestial realms. Thus, they are not only practitioners of magic but guardians of a sacred tradition that bridges the mundane with the transcendent, echoing the cosmic symphony that binds all things together in harmony.
Alas the Llorfiril are no more. Since they unleashed horror upon the world during the Fifth Age, their art has been lost. Now the wizards of Erenth are the inheritors of the Llorfiril tradition. No longer understanding the musical component of their arcane arts, mere wizards are reduced to chanting spells and resorting to crude formulas for spell casting.
