Once each day you can sing one song to give you a positive relationship you would not ordinarily have with an icon.
Takes at least a few rounds to sing, ideally out of combat to an appreciative audience. Each time tell the GM what’s special about the story you are telling.
Charisma skill check (DC 20) using your best singing/musical background. On success, gain 2 points of positive relationship with the chosen icon for the rest of the day (until the next full heal-up).
At least one icon is being mocked/vilified/referred to in unflattering terms. You get an equal number of
cursed dice for that icon. They never help you. At the GM’s option, you’ll have to roll these cursed dice at least once and interpret them as possible problems for you: rolls of 1 => definite problem; rolls of 2 => story complications connected to the temporary enemy icon.

Take two additional points of backgrounds; you can use these additional points to raise a background that has something to do with history, bardic lore, or magical knowledge up to the usually impossible rating of +6.
Take a single point of relationship with the Elf Queen. Add the point to a relationship you already have up to your normal maximum, or start a new one— positive, conflicted, or negative.
