“The love of Io nourishes all his children.” —Adetherin Forzenda, Singer of Concordance
The Singers of Concordance are a small order of wandering draconic spiritual guides who begin as servitors of Io, the Ninefold Dragon, creator of all dragonkind. Their mission is to bring peace and comfort to Io’s scattered children, especially the often isolated halfdragons and draconic creatures. They are more than simple preachers and healers, however—they have been entrusted by the father of dragons with the task of protecting the Spheres of Concordance that he created to ease his children’s pain.
Almost all members of this class are dragon-descended (half-dragons and draconic creatures), whose life apart from “normal” society prepares them to undertake their wandering ministry. The ability to cast divine magic is a requirement of the class, and its dedication to Io means that most entrants are clerics who worship that draconic deity. True dragons with the ability to cast divine spells as arcane spells could enter the class, but not many do. Sometimes a newly christened Singer has a varied background with a mix of experience, of which divine spellcasting forms only a part.
Entry Requirements Subtype: Dragonblood. Spellcasting: Ability to cast 3rd-level divine spells. Skills: Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks. Deity: Io.

CLASS FEATURES
The higher you rise in this class, the closer becomes your connection to the great spheres created by Io. Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Singer of Concordance, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known. Aspect of Peace (Su): Upon entering this class, you attune yourself to the great Song of Io and to one Sphere of Concordance that is sustained by Io’s song. In so doing, you draw that sphere’s aspect of peace spiritually closer to you and the reality you inhabit. This effect is always active while you are conscious (and the effect moves with you), but not if you are unconscious or dead. It grants you immunity to the first compulsion effect (magical or otherwise) that would otherwise affect you each day, and for the remainder of the day grants you a +4 morale bonus on saving throws to resist further compulsion
