Are there any prestige classes that are based around fascination, or ending fights with your voice by making the enemy stop fighting? The inspiration is the Scheherezade story, where she stops the Shah or Sultan or whatever from killing her by telling him a thousand tales. Does anyone know of a class that exists like this?

Apostle of Peace has an aura that calms people down. If what you really want is to build around the Fascinated condition, a Heavens Oracle from Pathfinder is probably the way to go there.

Bard works, if you don't necessarily need the class to be of the prestige variety. They have the fascinate ability right there at first level, and they get illusions to help illustrate stories in the moment. Maybe run everything off of perform (oratory) or something.

Exemplar. Diplomancy with the skill of your choosing.

A diplomancer build using the 1st Half-Elf Bard substitution level (Races of Destiny) could do it.

diplomacy takes time. or a standard action with a penalty. intimidate is instant.

Evangelist from Complete Divine works well for this purpose. They win fights by shaming or intimidating their foes into submission

It's a base class, but Beguiler fits this bill.

The true evangelist class is Emissary of Barachiel - unfortunately, while it is extremely powerful at swaying just about any enemy to your side, it tends to only work out of combat by locking an enemy in a cell or tying them to a lamppost.
