An enimatic Deity, The Melody holds a cherished place in the heart of every Bard on Reydala. It is through her great power that their songs are able to take on their magical power, taking them far above the level of art. If the Melody was not present, there would be no bards on Reydala, only minstrels. The Melody herself has no true voice, but speaks through music and dance. She has no churches, but all bards who invoke their powers see the Melody, dancing and lending her supernatural voice to their songs. Most bards have come to believe that at one time everyone could hear the melody, but now all but the bards have forgotten her mystical songs. The Melody and Laviege are frequent rivals, and she has often used the memory of her melodies to call prisoners of Laviege back from the nightmare of the Ethereal.
The Melody appears as a young girl, about 15 years of age, with waist length blonde hair and wearing a white dress that flows cleanly as she dances. Her eyes are brilliant pools of green, and every movement she makes is filled with an unerring grace. She only appears to bards while they are performing, or in their times of great stress to comfort them and lend them strength against any foe.
All worshippers of the Melody of Bards, thus all Clerics of the Melody have at least one level of Bard as well. If a bard strays from the power of the Melody, their songs lose all power. Thus, all bards of Reydala are of the alignments listed above.
