Who was it that said they were waiting for a certain "something" to be
implemented before the songs would be available?

If you haven't yet, I urge you to make the trip on the test server to the
new temple. It is quite a pretty place, and you will get a taste of what
is to come questwise. I was having a blast running around the place
Hailing every named NPC there, along with the other eleven level 1 dark
elves. ;)

The temple can be found on the test server, off Lavastorm, across from the
Solusek entrances. Specifically, the location of it is 1300, 280. I
found cleric quests that required turning in enchanted platinum for the
dwarf to smith the reward, various caster quests. No bard quests could I
find, but who's to say what further updates will take place
