A Storm King's Thunder Chronicle
Dustin Dwint
The Bard Who Invented Rock
Half-elf. Glamour Bard. Dao Warlock. The story of Aric Stoneheart — how a travelling minstrel made a pact with an earth genie and changed the music of Faerûn forever.
Three Schools
The Wandering Bard
The foundation of every bard's craft. Songs born from the road, the tavern, and the heart — played on flute and mandolin by firelight.
The Warlock Turn
A pact with a Dao. The dark arcane seeps into every note — heavier arrangements, exotic instruments, a sound shaped by otherworldly power.
The Birth of Rock
Minor Illusion conjures sounds no instrument can produce. A new school of music, born from earth genie magic — the invention of rock.

A tribute to his dear friend Kürbis, the gentle goliath who helped Aric escape the yak folk slavers.
A heartfelt ballad honouring Kürbis Kohl, the goliath barbarian who became one of Dustin's closest companions. The song tells of their escape from yak folk slavery and the unbreakable bond forged in adversity. ## Lyrics [Verse 1] In the mountains tall and grand, Where the winds howl and the snows command, There came a hero, strong and true, A Goliath bold, with a mission to pursue. [Chorus] Oh, Goliath brave, with heart of stone, You journeyed far, you journeyed alone. Through storm and tempest, you forged ahead, To save the lost, to mend the thread. [Verse 2] Through valleys deep and canyons wide, You searched for those in need, with fearless stride. With every step, with every roar, You showed the world what heroes are for. [Bridge] With hands of strength and eyes that see, You reached out to set the captives free. No mountain too high, no river too wide, For a hero like you, with courage as your guide. [Outro] So let us raise a toast, to Kürbis Kohl. The hero of the night, who fought the endless fight. For in his courage, we find our own.
