Lore: Some time ago, a mortal named Shailiha asked the Ikon Omnira if they could create together a religion devoted to music. Omnira agreed, and Symphonia was created, with Omnira as its leader. Known members of Symphonia were Shailiha, Miri, and Akiko. A school for children was built, focusing on the teaching of music and other arts. Today, the members of Symphonia continue to spread great joy with their talents for drama, music and more. The Opera composer Andir was delighted to work with some of the musicians from Symphonia, enlisting their aid as singers and violinists. The opera was a roaring success. One brave poet named Leradan visited the Universitus and persuaded a few shy young men and women into what became the annual poetry slam. Somewhat of a blacksmith, Leradan carved the perfect statue of a golden cheese for the silliest or worst poem he had ever heard. Symphonia continued like this until Omnira left them leaving the religion in the capable hands of Shailiha. Her name was Nevalis, and she did not lead, but was happy to let her followers go where they may as she was the true owner of Music and Harmony and the religion that Shailiha and other laid out, filled her heart with Joy.
Known Alliances: Vantiga
How to Join: Seek out a member of Symphonia and express your wish to join the religion. They will talk to you about the religion and ask you if your goals align.
