---Background/setting---
The kingdom of Arvilla. Music was always at the center of it's culture. We know that thanks to many ruins full of antiquities, runic scriptures, artifacts and more. It's still important today. Not many people lack any kind of instrument. Every studies found were all centralized in what we today call "The Grand Library". Every bit of knowledge found by humankind is stored inside it's enormous collection of books.
The Grand Library never stopped seeking knowledge, eventually falling on mysterious receptacle we simply called "Notes". These Notes were quickly identified as similar to the runes on various altars accross the entire kingdom. Didn't take time for someone to bring a note to an altar, which transformed it into a Note Beasts.
And there was born the concept of Conductors. People who found Notes and became linked to a Note Beasts. Note Beasts are creatures born of the Notes, creatures with an immediate and unbreakable bond with their Conductors. Eventually, through various books, the Grand Library acquired the knowledge to create Notes, which led to the majority of Arvilla's population becoming Conductors.
Of course, with anyone able to get a Note Beast, responding to it's Conductor's very will, it didn't take long for people to use it for selfish or evil reasons. There was a war, which aftermath led to the regulation of Notes. The war was lost in time, as the Grand Library refused to keep any record of it. A school opened, where students receive their first Note and learn what it is to be a Conductor.
Bad individuals are inevitable, but peace has been installed in the kingdom for centuries.
Hopefully, that peace if forever...
