The Singing Stones are a small group of isles, considered one of the fifteen island groups that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.
Description[]
Made famous from the mountains that give the island its name, the Singing Stones are a small group of islands found to the west of most of the other Summer Isles. Whilst all the islands are mountainous compared to the rest of the Isles, the largest and most easterly of them, Ta, is home to the Harmony Peaks, a short cordillera particularly known for its sounds.
The residents of the isles are said to be able to tell which direction the wind blows merely by the nature of the hum that resonates through the stones as the wind passes through the pock-marked surface. The tale of how the stones came to sing has long descended into myth and legend, but most relate to Waro, Spirit of the Winds, who is said to dance through the rock with every breeze that passes over the islands.
Rulers[]
Each of the islands are ruled over by a different Prince, hailing from the families of Saras, Xo and Taamos. It is customary for people from the Singing Stones to wear a round pendant of grey stone from their left ear whenever they visit elsewhere in the Summer Isles or further afield, as a reminder of their origin.
