This particular section of the Flood-Damaged Scroll in the Archive Of Swirra The Studious depicts the legend of the Threesinger. A flighted lizard with a prehensile tail, the Threesinger was unique in that never fought or participated directly in any violence, using its surprising speed to dodge any attempt to hunt it, even by ambush or crossbow bolt. Its crest functioned as a sort of sound baffle and noise directer. Its three wings could propel it through any complicated maneuver. Its three horns and springy tentacles would depict, musically, the actions of those it observed. One to three individuals or groups could be emulated simultaneously by such thematic music. The legend says that the Grey Cardinal was repeatedly insulted by the occasional sour note played by them in his presence and so drove them from his province by hiring Eric The Deaf as a minstrel. They left en masse and have not been sighted since. This entry in the folio shows examples of runic musical symbols complete with color denotations of timbre–very rare indeed.
