Song Clan/History

After the war ended and new Domain emerged, the Seven Princesses of Song accepted Nephis as their new Queen, With their help the transition on the western reaches of Dream Realm experienced very little tumult. Ravenheart is now ruled by Kai with his official title as "Steward of the West".^[1]

The Song Clan was described as having fallen into an odd limbo, as it officially no longer existed, yet unlike Clan Valor, it had never been systematically dismantled by Mordret. Its core forces instead split to follow the seven Transcendent princesses left behind by Queen Song, spreading across the basin of the River of Tears. Each former princess became the ruler of her own clan, technically independent, but still sisters, allowing the ghost of Clan Song to wield immense influence in the West, with power second only to the Immortal Flame itself. Seishan and her sisters ruled a number of Citadels, sometimes entrusting the governance of the surrounding cities to loyal advisers. Beastmaster spent most of her time in Ravenheart, Lonesome Howl and Silent Stalker operated on the frontlines leading warriors of the Human Domain, Moonveil controlled the estuary of the River of Tears, and Seishan controlled its source, while Death Singer wandered between worlds and stayed at their Citadels. Revel rejected a Citadel offered by Nephis, choosing instead to remain in her den beneath the Jade Palace when not leading troops into battle. Despite being scattered across the Dream Realm, the sisters retained collective influence and gathered in Ravenheart when circumstances demanded a united front.^[2]

The Song clan remained influential in Ravenheart even after the Song Domain was no more, largely due to the popularity of Ki Song's daughters. When Song Seishan rose to Supremacy, she became the new queen and was met by a sea of people cheering as she walked through the streets of Ravenheart and across the great bridge to the gates of the Jade Palace, followed by her sisters. Song Seishan, along with Morgan of Valor, Ananke of Weave, and Nightwalker, was also set to replace the returning leaders as one of the rulers of the Dream Realm. The rise of Song and Valor brought people a sense of belonging and an empowering feeling of stability, as countless people had lived and fought under their banners, and their legacy remained despite the disappearance of their former rulers.^[3]
