Viola of Shirley

The Viola of Shirley was a musical instrument owned by Shirley, a compatriot of Salazar Stythe and Brian Blundell. Reverend Salazar Stythe turned the viola into a Corhrux before his death, thus preserving his lifeforce and allowing him to be resurrected by Poundington centuries later.

The Viola sat in Minas Music for centuries after Shirley died, gathering dust. It survived the First Battle of Minas Music and the Second Battle of Minas Music, being ignored by everyone due to its unassuming nature. However, after the battles, Awawfaweme, a former contemporary of Emewafwawa, recovered the Viola and was corrupted by it.

Awawfaweme pretended to aid the Swords of the Soundboard when news of Stythe's resurrection reached her - but she soon betrayed them when the true nature of the Viola she owned was revealed. This resulted in the Third Battle of Minas Music, in which Awawfaweme was slain and the Viola was destroyed.
