It is not that Music went extinct. It just never actually was in this universe. Bands and Musicians are travelers from interplanar swirl and they use the elements of their original plane. Being a bit ghostly at times and dissipating into thin air after The Battle.

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

The aforementioned interplanar swirl occured only because of an event known as "the Leak", which was also felt by the great elementalists of the current world and this topic's setting.

"The Leak" was caused when a god accidentally peed their pants.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)
There is a city of glass, suspended in the air by a mixture of magic and technology.
It is populated by a race of animated glass golems, who feed on magical residue.
The golems were made by a race of ant golems created by ancient beings.
Magic is purely elemental in nature, composed of the elements EARTH, FIRE, WIND and WATER. There is also a fifth element, believed to be lost, known as MUSIC.
People who practise the fifth element are known as Musicians, and being to various groups known as bands.
All but one are ghosts, cursed to eternally wander the world. It is said that these ghosts meet once a year at the venter of the planet to have a contest of Music, known as the Battle of the Bands.
The only still-living Musician is known as the Lady of the Serenade.
No one know who or where she is.
Music never actually existed, and is an element form another universe. Bands and Musicians, are travellers from interplanar swirl who use elements of their original planes.
This inter planar swirl occurred only because of 'The Leak' which occurred when a god peed his pants.
The Leak was felt by great elementalists of this world.
((Also, I might use this for an RP at some point. Modified, obviously.))

The world of this setting is made up by several junkies, sitting in the eternal void smoking herbs from a single hookah, telling stories while influenced for all etenity.
However that's just a myth.. right?

Somewhere on a nondescript island in the ocean rises a magnificent tower of copper. A tower so tall that it can be seen at all points on this planet. Nobody knows what's in it as all attempts to reach the island the tower is on has failed. It is always on the horizon...and it stays that way, no matter how direct the method of travel is

It is said that the God of this world inhabits, or at least left some of His power on top of the tower of copper, the one that locals call "The Tower of Heaven".

There is a cult which worships an eldritch abomination called Tz'eecuse.

The god on top of "The tower of heaven" is said to be the twin of Tz'eecuse.
They were the first to be conjured through the creation myth.
According to this legend, they are each others nemesis and will one day fight to the death at the end of time.
No one ever knows what the outcome will be.

Before their disappearance, the ants have also constructed the Gargantuan, an enormous war machine, which was however destroyed before it could be finished, and various villainous personas are on the search for the Gargantuan in hopes of reconstructing it and conquering the world.
