Legends of spellsingers among the dragons far predate [[Ilsare]]'s ascension, and at least three works have been attributed to [[T'oleflor]] spellsingers.

Since the beginning of history, there have been spellsingers, those with the ability to infuse magic into sound and music. Legends of spellsingers among the dragons far predate [[Ilsare]]'s ascension, and at least three works have been attributed to [[T'oleflor]] spellsingers. Even before these first artists, poets, and musicians began to shape sound and touch the hearts of their audiences, though, there was the [[Heartsong]], that intangible symphony of the emotions and energy of all living things.


It was the Heartsong, that collective song of experience inaudible to the ear but sometimes heard with the heart, that captivated an Ilsarian [[bard]] named Freda Buchhauser in 997 and led her to form the organization called the Resonance of Being. Freda, a vivacious gnomish musician, asked herself why so many spellsingers, bards, artists and lovers were drawn to the worship of Lady Muse after Ilsare's ascension to the heavens. The question launched Freda into an unprecedented series of experiments with emotional resonance--and the answers she found changed how people saw emotion, music, and [[spellsinging]] forever. She formed the Resonance of Being shortly after, in an attempt to share her knowledge on a wider scale. Although the organization began as a collaboration of her closest spellsinging friends, it grew over the years as they began to invite other Ilsarian bards to join the collective and expand their [[abilities]].
