Bae'qeshel was a bardic art known to very few drow. Wielders of bae'qeshel were known as the "dark minstrels." The song was keening and magical. Unlike divine magic, dark minstrels tapped into the Weave, and did not require a connection with a deity to wield it. The songs had effects ranging from the healing of wounds to sonic blasts capable of stripping bark off of trees.
