<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A [[loresong]] is a story associated with an item that can only be observed by a [[bard]] [[loresinging]] to it. It is not a very common property on items, though many items that came from the [[Hunt for History]] have stories, and therefore loresongs, attached to them. <br />
<br />
A bard can sense whether an item has a loresong using the [[SENSE]] verb. <br />
<pre{{log2}}><br />
>sense<br />
You sense the threads of history resonating within a wrought iron gate.<br />
Roundtime: 3 sec.<br />
<br />
>sense carousel<br />
You sense a moment of history resonating within the very composition of the painted tin carousel. The carousel may be able to reveal more to you with some lyrical coaxing.<br />
Roundtime: 3 sec.<br />

<br />
Bards can also unlock a loresong, either temporarily or permanently, to allow the owner to [[Loresinging#Unlocking_Loresongs|recall]] the song.<br />
<br />
==Custom Loresong==<br />
'''Custom loresongs''' are sometimes offered at [[festival]]s and [[pay event]]s as a [[delayed service]] prize. <br />
<br />
;Guidelines<br />
*The custom loresong may not work with all scripts. A scripted item that already has a unique or non-standard loresong cannot have a custom loresong added. The GameMaster running the service should be able to tell you if your item is acceptable.<br />
<br />
*The loresong may have between one and eight verses the bard can see. This includes the "As you sing to..." lead in and the "...your vision fades." ending.<br />
<br />
*For every verse, the loresong must also have a line or so that everyone watching the bard might experience, see, or hear that references the loresong.<br />
<br />
*Each of the above can only be 1024 characters long including spaces. Each sentences has to have two spaces between them.<br />
<br />
*There should may be custom messaging for both the bard and the audience when the bard reaches the end of the loresong and there are no additional verses.<br />
<br />
*Names of players can only be used in the loresong if that player approves.<br />
