So here's the song that the haunt was singing, or at least the best approximation we could get. We did get some funny looks from the haunt when we sang, so we may have some wrong words, or maybe we just messed up the melody. Here we go:
We are fast for making nothing Nothing hunts us here Raise our voices but sing in silence Songs know only fear Find the breath for dying laughter In a land sown deep with hate Walk alone in endless struggle While the world is robbed of fate
Now we walk in circles, circles in the dark Now the darkened (dark in?) circles seeks to take our spark
Ooooo ooo ooo ooo (a bunch of oooo's. Not sure how many)
Seven homes for seven singers Land to call their own Each was born in serpents slumber In the still and lifeless stone Each land held its magic Each land sings it's verse The game has gone beyond the heartland Now the song is cursed

So I did some research, and it's possible that the seven singers thing was referring to either the Hesperidies, as some accounts say there were seven of them and they have some history of singing, or as Miranda pointed out, the Pleiades (in which case it's probably more likely the words were "seven sisters"). Both are from Greek mythology, which does make some amount of sense given the current issues with Norse vs Greek and the song talking about being hunted and whatnot. But that's all theorizing.

Can you post the vision notes too? I can elaborate if I have the basic skeleton of it.

That's in a separate post. Should be right under this one on the sub forum. So we can talk about them separately.

Re: Seven homes to seven singers -
My guess is this is something from Roekron mythology, not from any of the standard pantheons... There've been sevens showing up now and then, and it could easily match up with the dragon paper ("One is for the beating heart, filled with passion for the world//Two is for the..." etc).

True. Do we have anyone with historian or priest in the adult league party who could check up on that?

The first two pieces of this song were found a second time in the dungeon behind the singing doors in Eon Ion.
