The Chant

The Chant is a sect of beliefs and practices rooted in the religion of the ancient Terrafirmans during the Age of Innocence, which is rooted in the practice of magic.

Proficient practicers of the Chant are called bards. Bards are expected to be able to cross the Veil into the Shade at will in order to cast spells and consort with spirits and demons. Bards wield magic from the environment by tapping into the Vibration which makes up the Shade.

Usage of magic is considered dangerous, and as such the Chant is forbidden in Terrafirma. Despite this, it's practiced, to an extent, in several places in Terrafirma, especially in the Carteretian Forest, Lansing, Longbow, Kightsbridge and in the Mother's Mountains.
