The Rhymers of Blackmoor

[aldarron]

This is a pretty straightforward reference to the song magic practiced in the Kalevala by heroes such as Vainamoinen (famously the inventor of the kantele) and Lemminkainen.

I wonder if we could connect this to any of the Bard organizations from the BMPG?

The Finnic song magic in blackmoor is more or less the faerie song magic as described in Adventures in Fantasy. Remember the anecdote about players having to judge how good a song the mage player had sung before Arneson would tell him if the spell worked or not?
