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
Every bard begins here. Skaldic ballads and road-worn tavern songs, born from the heart and sung by candlelight and campfire — nothing but flute, lute, and a story worth telling.
The Warlock Turn
The road grows darker and the music follows. Folk melodies collide with darker, heavier forces — bagpipes, celtic drums, epic arrangements. Not a transition but a fusion, where the old craft meets something ancient and otherworldly.
The Birth of Rock
Illusion conjures sounds no known instrument can produce. Prestidigitation and Thaumaturgy shape the experience. A new school of music, born from earth genie magic — the invention of 'rock'.
Featured Track
The Ballad of Kürbis Kohl
A tribute to his dear friend Kürbis, the gentle goliath who helped Aric escape the yak folk slavers. Dustin performed it by the campfire on the road to Nightstone the night they were reunited — much to Kürbis's mixed embarrassment and pride.

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.
