The War of Sirens

&nbsp
"The War of Sirens began like any other civil war. The inhabitants of the same world did not agree on the same thing. 

''The Sirens I speak of are not the ones you know and...love. The Sirens I speak of are warriors of a nation known as Vocalia. The Vocalians, known as Sirens, were gifted in the way of the voice. They could use their voice to create magic effects. ''

''Now the war started due to the fact that the South belived that the way of the voice should be abolished, and the North thought other wise. The Queen of the North, Sarania, issued a Decleration of War, and thus began the War of Sirens. It was a short war, only lasting six months, but in those six months much blood was shed. All you could here for days were the screeching, Banshee-like voices of the Sirens. ''

''Eventually, the Queens of the North and South realized how damaging and dangerous the way of the voice was, and they banished it. ''

Having been forgotten for over twelve millenium, hardly anyone knows what it is...but some say that their are a few who still whisper their words of power in the hidden dark of night..." -Bladewood the Bard, Short Stories from Olympus
