The Strings of Serenity

The Strings of Serenity is an enchanted musical instrument with profound magical properties of healing. It was created during the tumultuous period of the Soul Wars. The harp has been a symbol of peace, healing, and emotional depth for centuries.
The Strings were crafted in an era marred by conflict. During the Soul Wars, a time when countless souls were trapped in curses, magical items, and supernatural prisons, the need for a tool to treat the trapped dead's trauma was paramount. A talented, yet unknown, mage combined the artistry of song with their arcane knowledge to create the Strings, a therapeutic instrument to calm the souls that were trapped while skilled mages attempted to free them.
The harp possesses an ethereal beauty, shimmering with an inner light. Its strings, seemingly made from pure silver, glow softly. When played, it produces tranquil music capable of relaxing its listeners, soothing physical pain, and calming troubled souls. But the harp is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere surrounding it, and its music can become twisted, out of tune, and purely discordant in the presence of powerful negative emotions.
The harp currently stands as a cherished relic in the throne room of Dalia, playing music for kings, queens, and their guests. Yet despite its historically noble usage, whispers of rumor hint that perhaps the harp isn't what it seems; was the soul of a gifted musician sealed within the Strings of Serenity to grant it its unique abilities?
