[I was going to put this in to the 1.0 Music thread, but being archived, it is locked. It is my hope The Aurtach will allow a music thread to remain for all versions of the game.] A new hymn for the Office of Aurora has come to "light." Now when the world is shadowed and Dark Now when the ...

Having returned to the Harper Hall to retire for the night after the consecration of Nyx’s shrine at the site of The Rotunda, Melody arises, then finishes her daily ablution and personal sacrifice within the Alta Cantabile . Stepping out in to the Arts District, she makes her way cautiously back to ...

Oops...

In posting the new hymn for the Office of Evensong, I realized I never posted the Office of Aurora, as I had planned to do after Nyx consecrated her shrine.

Will take care of that now...

Here is a new Hymn to be inserted in to the Office of Evensong. The lyrics for this hymn are in tribute to our Nightly Sleep . The evening hangs beneath the moon, A silver thread on darkened dune. With closing eyes and resting head I know that sleep is coming soon. Upon my pillow, safe in bed, A tho...

"Come within the Alta Cantabile and meditate upon Calling the Soul," Melody instructs all who seek Unison and Harmony within Irshirel. "Our inner Song calls to us all. Let Our Lady fill your being, and Her Song will flow out from within you to influence elsewhere."

The Office of Evensong Processional: Evening Hymn: The Sunset Benediction: Twilight Time (contains all three parts) Unifying sacrifice of candles and drinking of Libidinal's mead Changing of the Watch Closing Hymn: Eventide Recessional Verse: Late Lament Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch light...

The clink of sword and shield is heard as Marziale approaches the temporary dais where Libidinal’s chalice is set. “As Szabad has pointed out, it is extremely difficult for powers other than those to which an area is consecrated to be used within the consecrated area. In her wisdom, the Mistress of...

Good morning Mr. Sunshine You brighten up my day There may be some young'uns here, who have no idea what you're talking about, Surya... Lonely Days ... Virelai, perhaps the golden spiral reminds you of another symbol that falls within your domain, the treble clef? i97.photobucket.com/albums/l204/Ga...

The liturgy of evening prayer for the Unified temple would be the Harper Hall's honor to compose. I shall instruct Melody to put her best Master Harpers on it.

That would be most appreciated, Nyx!
And warmth during winter performances, whether at night time or during the day, would be wonderful, Surya.

Thank you both.

I thank you for your kind words and your offer regarding the amphitheatre, Surya. The Artisans Guild always does good work. As I hope all will see again in the near future. I have been considering your offer regarding enhancing the performances. As of this moment, performances are limited to occurri...

Brothers and Sisters.

It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you all to Irshirel.

May her Song resonate with unison, and may harmony and counterpoint always find resolution.

As Mistress of Song , I felt starting this was appropriate. There is a similar topic in another realm, yet I will understand should this be deemed extravagant by the Autarch and it vanishes from our awareness. That said, I find myself looking at Chime's spiral, and contemplating what it signifies. I...

The musicians call to meeting fading slowly in to the air, Melody slowly rose to address the City dwellers who came this week in answer to the call for Unity and Fellowship. "This last month has seen potential for misunderstanding between two of the G-ddessess of our City come and go," she...

The story of the investment of Keneb by Surya himself flew like wildfire throughout the City; the Harpers retelling it far and wide, yet doubly so within the ranks of the City's Watch. Marziale was honing his skill with sword and shield against the Hall's adjunct general representative of the King w...

Thank you, Sister. Your priestesses are not only welcome, but needed. None of mine shall hinder them from their duties. When the guild arranged to oversee the health and well being of the dancers, I assumed they turned to the appropriate care givers, and will admit surprise that your priestesses wer...

After reviewing what I have been doing the past few months, I can now see how what has been done may have been interpreted as it was to Diana. I have shared all with her privately, and have offered my apologies. But I do so again publicly. Sister Birth . I do apologize for what has been seen as tres...

Sister Fertility , the Artisans Guild is under their own Guidance; members are not required to acknowledge me in anyway. My High Priestess holds an honorary seat on their governing board, and I am happy to say she is given due respect and an equal vote on all matters. But no, they are not under my d...
