The Leviathan Organ of Nasen-Ra

Vast were the whales of lost ages, their mouths swallowed ships whole and their movements dislodged islands from their foundations. From the bones of these sea beasts, the great tyrant Nasen-Ra bid his architects and slaves construct an organ of such magnificence that a single note might decimate an army or lay a city low.

Much ravaged by the aeons, the organ consists of 100 pipes divided into four ranks, controlled respectively by four pipe stops, each rank containing 25 pipes controlled by 20 remaining functional keys, and five remaining functioning pedals. In addition, it has a series of percussion stops which activate a wheel of bells (the Zimbelstern) and various other instruments.

The entire mechanism is housed within a resonating sound chamber in the tomb-palace of Nasen-Ra, whose location is lost to the masters of both archaeology and cartography.

Each note (activated by key or pedal) activates a magical effect, whose scope and range is determined and modified by which stops are pulled out (at least one must be pulled out to produce any sound or effect), though there is no way (no way, including magic or any other forms of inflicted omniscience a Player Character might run across) to know which combinations do what without trial and error.
