General overview of the families
Advice for roleplayers: music is a heavy theme, there are other themes. If you find them they'll signal the path that's laid out. Use this in a positive or negative way however you see fit.
Advice for mechanics people: music is a heavy theme, characters actions, new lands, and especially enemies are based on their music. Listening to the music might give you insight into enemy attacks. I will allow 3 respecs in the campaign, try some niche builds that make sense for the occasion.
Advice for lore nerds: Reading sucks, but I did spend time on the world anvil so I've tried to integrate info that might be useful. Hopefully it will give a boost in game, not necessary but it may equate to autopassing some ability checks. I might leave more useful/interesting tidbits than that.
