Charm Songs

Thalatta

There are no words. With their voice, they reach out for dreams, illusions of people, things or fantasies to chase that are indescribable; save through music and song.   A victim sees joyous visions and glories, and are as confused as if on a sugar high. But the singers can be effected by their own songs as well. Some might see a mirror reflecting their own image or the immediate world melts away and they are confronted with a massive audience.   Provided a tribe can remain coherent, each individual member can see a single component of a common backlash vision that the others are blind to. Be it cosmic dust, foundations, fire, momentum, stars or direction.

Though it is dangerous, it is also a treat to hear even how they vocally catch their weaker members and urge them higher and higher. If ever one falters, another will lyrically nudge and recenter them.   And should any lose the vision in their mindscape, the group will remind them.

  Charm songs are more abstract than quroar, but much like with quroar, they are able to convey emotions like no human language. When there is any sort of argument within a tribe, the sounds overlap in all the wrong places. Harmonies are replaced with construct dissonances and there are varying levels in the tempo and tonality. This can be ascribed as a shouting match or some vocal brawl or bludgeoning.   Being off-key may be indicative of being troubled or off center. And just as being harmonious can inflict a self-illusion, a disharmonious tribe can experience a collective delusion that members of a tribe fight over. If it continues, the singing will deteriorate into mismatched notes.
