Three days have passed since the high festal day of Artistry's holy month, and still the exhausted harper toiled to be certain the wrap up festivities ran smoothly. Never had winter's dark been dispelled so effectively with joy and glee. The feasting had been luxurious; the art exhibits glorious and...

m’Lady’s Holy month has arrived! The glade is festooned with ribbons, and mats are placed along the banks for those who wish to sit to meditate and commune with her. At sunset on the Eve of December (tonight!), the children who study in the glade spread throughout Twinsriver and the surrounding comm...

Since we're not on Earth, I can't really get away with using this in game, so thought I would share this here...



However, I don't know how accurate the quote is. Was physics around in Plato's time?

"Azver, this is why I believe the source of the gossip regarding Harrisbridge and the Tether fish needs to be found, if possible. He supposedly said he's seen grown men drop dead from foul breath of the hydra. So, perhaps he was in Harrisbridge when the hydra attacked. Perhaps he embellished hi...

"I have been encouraging the Elders and farmers for several months now to allow cattle to graze in the farmlands, once the harvest is in. That has begun, and already the soil is showing signs of enrichment. I must caution against allowing human waste to be used for such a purpose, though. The H...

"I, too, keep learning new things. "Gener, apparently it not only appears those within Twinsriver who partake of our water are healthier, it is a fact. And usually those who have imbibed of it are safe when they leave Twinsriver. Piemur was an exception; one the Fates decided to retrieve e...

The harper smiles slightly at such concern. "Azver, gossip is just that. Piemur was but a new journeyman harper just having left the Hall, but he was more skilled in survival skills than many Masters at the Hall. I had taken him under my wing to further his training, but we were no more intimat...

The harper stands silently by the side of the newly covered grave; her lute slung across her back and her horn dangling from her hand, while water drips off her hair in the cold rain falling from the darkening sky. Her fellow harpers had done Piemur proud, and she nods quiet thanks as they come and ...

When Laurel hears of Mariana's words regarding the book being worked on, she smiles a small smile, suspecting she has at least heard about said effort. And the Harper will do what she can to encourage the endeavor.

Chastised, the harper walks out of the Council chamber, reliving her actions over the past month and reviewing how her teaching via tales and questioning the direction the town was taking could be seen as "assuming authority" over Twinsriver's ruling body. Regardless, her reputation and wh...

"Good Azver, as I told the council a few weeks ago, I hope in time to make the area around Festival Hall a performing arts and cultural center. I see a university and library as part of that vision. "Many of the smaller rooms in Festival Hall are meant for meetings and gathering. I will be...

The harper bows to the current Champion. "Perhaps you show wisdom beyond my instinctive reaction to your news, Azver. With the village wall, the welcome center and visitor gardens, Festival Hall and the amphitheater, Twinsriver's resources may already be stretched. Festival Hall and the amphith...

The harper smiles happily at Azver's news. "A library! How wonderful. "I totally understand why you would wish to construct it near the dojo, since it will be nearby you and you would not have to divide your time extensively between the two places. But wouldn't developing a cultural area a...

The harper bows to the decision of the council. "At least by having a hand in the design and function of the welcome houses and gardens, the more worrisome traits may be avoided. "Still, if they could be built within the village, or even in the walls near the gate, so those having to go th...

"Elder Weatherby, I understand the need to to build the walls and gates, and to be ready to protect our village from harms way. Yet to screen every visitor arriving in our town feels reactionary to me. "As part of my healer training at the craft hall, it has been taught that very few sever...

"Let me clarify, Master Weatherby. I do not question the intentions nor integrity of our good Magistrate, nor Azver, nor Krinn. I do question their exposure to the lessons of history. "I entirely agree with the need for a prudent defense, however I see the steps we are taking towards offen...

The harper’s head slowly nodded as she listened to the Town Crier. With the attacks that occurred still unexplained, it makes sense to train everyone in defense … But then she stiffened and her mouth slowly opened in shock as the Town Crier continued: ”Azver will accept all who wish to join the Twin...

The Harper stands silently, calling on her own gifts from her Lady to assess the exotic looking men and women before her in colorful garb. Suddenly smiling broadly, she gives an open armed bow, then straightens and welcomes the dancers and musicians. "Dear friends from Aswan to the east, I welc...

The Harper looked around at the assembled artisans and swelled with pride. “Welcome. Welcome good people who feel the surge of creativity in their soul. Our Lady is pleased with your efforts to beautify and excel. For those yet to make my acquaintance, I am Laurel, journeyman Harper and prophet for ...
