Bards believe the cosmos is a work of art—the creation of the Three. That creative work included harmonies that continue to resound through existence today, a power known as the creation energy, khaagaazh.

Its melodies so delighted the stones and trees that some of them gained a voice of their own. And now they sing too. Learn the Song, students, and you too can teach the mountains to sing and dance.”<br> | Bards believe the cosmos is a work of art—the creation of the Three.

Dwarves often encourage their bards to become students of the Song of Creation. And among Dragonwrought, the Song of Creation is revered, for legends portray Bahumat, Tiamat, and Sardior—the greatest of dragons—as three of the song’s first singers. | Dwarves often encourage their bards to become students of the Song of Creation.
