Kraekhofair's Destruction

Many legends exist detailing methods of Kraekhofair's final destruction. The most popular story is of the Raga of Remembrance|LOMM, a performance powerful enough to summon the spirits of the millions who opposed Kraekhofair so long ago. The raga's drone builds from a disharmonic instrument crafted with pieces of the beast's heart, and once the song swells, the musician becomes an anchor for the avatar of the legendary psychic Nusai.
