The Dissonant Choir

The Dissonant Choir is the result of the Grand Choir's attempts at creating Shardbonded from Lightbringer hosts in the early days of cooperation between the Venari and the Final Accord. Though the circumstances of the Choir's failure are hazy at best, the planet Elegy upon which it resides is under a strict quarantine, neither the Shardbonded living upon it allowed to leave nor travelers from the outside allowed to approach. Any attempts at entering or exiting Elegy's gravity well are immediately and violently thwarted by automated drone platforms, deployed there by the Accord.

== Fate & Origins ==
The Shardbonded of the Dissonant Choir are in fact colossi, twisted and malformed by their metamorphosis, never meant to be transformed with the additional foreign bodies of the invasive Venari impeding the process. On Elegy's surface, the Dissonant Colossi rampage eternally, their bodies cracked and overgrown with jagged crystal -- driven mad by their condition and the faint, distant song that resonates through their venarite bodies.
In truth, the Accord's volunteering of aid in the creation of a "new Choir" was actually a coverup for a mission to Elegy by a Black Ship, investigating signs of a precursor complex that lay deep within the wilds of the planet. Wracked with guilt at taking Kraderag's lost children away from their home, Maius the Soulkeeper had created the facility in the ancient, primordial days of his arrival in the galaxy with intent for it to be a Mioura-like home for the Lightbringers, placing an artifact of Orian origin thought to "protect the lost children" at its very center as a comfort to his priests and a crowning jewel of the new vault-city -- but upon discovering the artifact's purpose in transforming the precursors into colossi, he abandoned the facility in horror and sealed it away, now forever to serve as the artifact's tomb.
The crew of the Black Ship Aspirant would discover and activate the artifact some millennia later, transforming the Shardbonded among their number into the Dissonant Choir.
