There’s something in the music now. A whisper behind every word.
A fragmented, alien consciousness lives on inside your mind—an illithid larva that never fully died. Instead of consuming you, it lingers in your thoughts, feeding power into your voice, your performance, and your presence.
Bards of the College of the Awakened turn psionic interference into harmony, weaving discordant echoes into melodies that twist the minds of those around them. Their songs can bolster the senses of allies or unravel the thoughts of enemies. With every whispered lyric and haunting refrain, they reshape reality—not through spellcraft alone, but through a fractured tether to something beyond understanding.
This is not music for the meek.
This is a siren song of madness—subtle, chilling, and beautifully dangerous.
