The Balancers are a pair of gods whose purpose is to balance the chaos and order magic of the universe. They do this primarily by existing but can fix larger issues manually. They consist of one Balancer of Chaos and one Balancer of Order- Elidra Gerathos and Khalid Alumi. They were accepted by the Heroes as honorary members after Darkest of Times, though which ones are present depends on the timeline- in the Heroes' Timeline and higher, both are present, but in the primary timeline and lower, only Elidra is.

Tales of Windsong is a worldbuilding universe created by [[Tropers/SilvieSkydancer SilvieSkydancer]]. It has been in development for around three years and stars a huge cast of characters in a rather plastic timeline. Has been open to contributions from Silvie's friends for a while as well; not all content present in the canon universe is theirs.

Orbiting around Sol, a lonely but lush planet known as Earth rests about as peacefully as it can be. However, this is not the Earth we know and live on- not ''anymore,'' anyway. ''[finish this paragraph later]''

The story stars multiple protagonists and attempts to give most non-background characters ADayInTheLimelight at least once. The first story, ''The Horror's Seal,'' stars the Heroes of Windsong- Akira, Phantasm, and Orianne, while the second, ''Darkest of Times,'' stars Elidra. It is set in the Harmonia universe, which- as an ExpandedUniverse- also includes the in-progress webcomic [[DarthWiki/SicutInferius Sicut Inferius]].

This has flip-flopped between being published and unpublished quite a lot, and the author is still experimenting with what media format works best with this universe. It is in this index primarily because it will not be formally "published" until the author settles on a format and begins working forward more than tacking on more worldbuilding stuff. (For the record, while there ''is'' a Tales of Windsong webcomic up on SmackJeeves, it is dead and will likely be nuked soon due to the author finding it to be too much work to stay focused on.)

The Heroes of Windsong are magical guardians of the island. Formed by
and will likely be nuked soon due currently composed of three friends, Akira, Phantasm and Orianne, they are a trio whose duty is to protect the island and those around it. They are the protagonists of a decent chunk of the story and remain relatively important for its entirety.

The Balancers are a pair of gods whose purpose is to balance the chaos and order magic of the universe. They do this primarily by existing but can fix larger issues manually. They consist of one Balancer of Chaos and one Balancer of Order- Elidra Gerathos and Khalid Alumi. They were accepted by the Heroes as honorary members after Darkest of Times, though which ones are present depends on the timeline- in the Heroes' Timeline and higher, both are present, but in the primary timeline and lower, only Elidra is.

'''In General:'''
* FiveManBand: Yep.
** TheLeader: Akira
** TheLancer: Phantasm
** TheChick: Orianne
** TheBigGuy: Elidra
** TheSmartGuy: Khalid
** TeamPet: Zaedhuth/Labra; depends on the timeline

'''Heroes Only:'''
* AmazonBrigade: For now, anyway- the current trio of (official) Heroes is all female.
* PowerCrystal: All of them are bound to Diamas Harmonia shards, which give them a fair bit of their magic power. Akira's is the Harmonia Peridot, Phantasm's is the Harmonia Topaz, and Orianne's is the Harmonia Sapphire.
* OutOfFocus: The Heroes of Windsong mostly vanish as protagonists for Darkest of Times, giving the limelight
to the author finding it to be too much work to stay focused on.Balancers, particularly Elidra.
(There are probably more but these are as many as I can think of at the moment.

'''Akira:'''

The effective leader of the Heroes of Windsong and the one who founded it, Akira is a human girl who gained bird wings from a curse given
to her as a baby. She is a bubbly, sweet girl who's very hard to get down, and typically treats new people like close friends unless they give her a reason to dislike them. Semi-platonically dating Phantasm.

* AllLovingHero: Unless you piss her off. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Then things get serious.]]
* BadassAdorable: ''Yes.''
* BladeOnAStick: Looks like a branch with a pink stone blade and roses sprouting off it. Doubles as a MagicStaff.
* CombatMedic: Her magic can

* CursedWithAwesome: A witch cursed her out of a grudge against her parents, and she got a functioning pair of wings out of it. That's a pretty good outcome.
* HeartBeatDown: Her magic type is effectively this.
* IdiotHair: Has a very angular one.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A glockenspiel.
* PinkHeroine
* ParodySue: Originally played this straight; now downplayed.
* RoseHairedSweetie
* StraightGay
* SomethingAboutARose / HeartSymbol: The motifs associated with her.

'''Phantasm:'''

A lab-created chimera of multiple different animals, with a humanoid base and internal structure. She has the mind of a human with the instincts (and fur) of a tiger, and various other parts. She is very sarcastic and can be rather rude at times, but is genuinely warm and kind otherwise. She has deep-rooted depression and self-loathing issues, which she goes to Akira for help with.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws
* AnimalMotifs: Has a tiger motif taking front and center.
* {{Asexuality}}: She's asexual/panromantic.
* BewareMyStingerTail: She has a scorpion tail.
* EscapedFromTheLab
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Was much more jerk-hearted before meeting Akira, mostly due to the mixture of various instincts that she has. Akira softened her up quite a lot.
* FluffyTamer: Very good with animals and loves ''all'' of them, regardless of how weird or creepy they are. Goats, scorpions, and [[StarfishAliens Zaknon]] are her favorites.
* PantheraAwesome: Her most notable animal traits are those of her tiger blood.
* PettingZooPeople: Borderline LittleBitBeastly, due to her lab created origin. Her internal structure is still mostly human, but she has several animal parts, like scruffy goat-furred legs with hooves and a short feline muzzle.
* TheSnarkKnight: Oh so very much.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Really likes fish. Considering that she's somewhere around 1/5 feline, this is a given.

''[Add Orianne and Elidra soon]''

'''Khalid:'''

The Balancer of Order and a powerful god, Khalid is the voice of reason for the Heroes and is usually the one to sarcastically comment about whatever may be happening- it's him or Phantasm. Despite his rather cold and calculating personality, he is a kind friend to the Heroes and will protect them with all of his might. Dating Elidra[[spoiler: in timelines where he's alive]].

* BerserkButton: Try and hurt Elidra. ''We dare you.''
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: He was originally much colder and more distant, but his relationship with Elidra led to him lightening up. The warm and welcoming Heroes of Windsong helped as well.
* PowerCrystal: Has a pearl motif. In particular, he carries a very large pearl with him, that focuses his magic and usually floats around or behind him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A cello.
* TheStoic: Before meeting the Heroes...
** NotSoStoic: ...and afterward.
* TeamDad: More of [[BumblingDad the silly variety]] when around the Heroes, complete with [[Pun puns.]] At least, [[PapaWolf when he isn't getting serious.]]

[[folder:Summary: Rise of Windsong]]
The original king of Windsong's name was Ermingild, and along with his queen Hyacinth, he ruled the island as benevolently as he could. With Hyacinth, he had three children- Achran, Beylah, and Sirenne. But when his children were captured by a ragdoll-like fiend named Enide, and only Sirenne was left, Ermingild couldn't cope with the guilt and devolved into a very oppressive king with an iron fist. Sirenne, sensing what was wrong, used her cunning to trick her father off the throne. Hyacinth was too old to take the throne for Ermingild, so Sirenne became queen of Windsong in his stead- returning Windsong to its peaceful rule.

Unfortunately, the peace couldn't last forever. Many years passed and Windsong thrived, until a dark being known as Elidra Gerathos, the balancer of Chaos, arrived on the island and began to wreak havoc. Squadrons of knights and guards were killed by this malevolent force, until Sirenne herself came down to settle the matter. The battle was long and bloody, and Sirenne's closest royal guard, Galahad, lost an eye in the process- but in the end, Sirenne was victorious. Elidra was sealed in the dungeons below, with a seal powered by the magic of three Harmonia Shards. Peace reigned for a while, and the Heroes all arrived in Windsong one way or another. The story then transitions into The Horror's Seal.
