Melodies

Melodies are special sounds that along with the will of ghost pipers let them evoke the sleeping hopes of lost souls, summon supernatural beings and do other incredible thigs. Masters of the past composed thousands of melodies. The better part of them was lost, hidden or encrypted in many different forms. Yet there are some famous melodies, such as the "Chord of Sylphs", that knows eveyone in Mistland, but they seem to be completely useless without the will of a ghost pipers or, as some people belive, a real ghost piper's pipe.

According to legends melodies can be in the form of notes, chords or tunes. The notes and chords are believed to affect ghost pipers, while the tunes are able to change the reality around them. It looks like most melodies are linked with particular spirits of nature. Therefore the greater part of melodies has the name of Sylphs, Gnomes, Undines or Salamanders in their titles.
