The Ballad of Daen Winterbrush

The Ballad of Daen Winterbrush was an unfinished ballad penned by Daen Winterbrush of the Moonshae Isles centuries before 1281 DR.

Content
The book of the Ballad of Daen Winterbrush was old and thickly covered in dust. The ink on its pages was fading with age, and parchment was ragged with use. The entire tome consisted of lyrics and sheet music for the said ballad and detailed creative journey of Daen Winterbrush, struggling to create the melody, pen the music that fit the tale.

The bard's name was scribbled on the inside of the book's cover.

History
Written but unfinished book, long before 1281 DR, Daen Winterbrush's work traveled across the Sea of Swords and somehow ended up in the library in the Temple of the Forgotten God in the Dragon's Eye, inhabited by druid cultists. The book was tethered to the restless spirit of long-dead Daen Winterbrush, tortured by his unfinished masterpiece. The book waited for a skilled human or half-elf bard to come across it, finishing Daen's life's work. If this ever came to pass, the dead bard's ghost revealed himself to the person who finished ad masterfully performed the song. As a reward, the spirit could further enchant the Sword of Myrloch Vale, imbuing it with charisma enchantment what magically filled the wielder's mind with deep knowledge of lore and legends.
