Peri'el Needs Us
In addition to the dreadful premonitions and visions everyone has been having of late, there are several notable ones and points that have a bearing on the last part of this announcement.
Early as the trouble unfolded when the Chrysalis hatched, Rangers sensed the world itself beseeching them. For help.
As the creatures of the Dark Mistress Fright haunt us, attack us, and attempt to turn the course of the world towards her awful dark existence, it is clear that the Ru'atin Sister visiting Zoluren has been targetted, and killed a number of times now, by the one who is called Xitoccanemun the First. Hatched from the Chrysalis of the Dark Mistress. (Hopefully he is called the First because he was first-born, not because he is going to be followed by the Second.)
Earlier this week, Linett, perhaps others, received a vision that was clearly that of Peri'el, asking for help:
<<Catching streams of light, dust motes form the figure of a S'Kra Mur woman. As the motes move around, the detail of her face becomes clearer. Her one eye looks at you in mute and silent appeal. She reaches a hand toward you, as if pleading and the dust particles begin to swirl away leaving you to wonder if the apparition was ever really there at all.
Later during this same invasion, Xitoccanemun began claiming that Peri'el was dead.
As of Tuesday night, Peri'el's altar in the High Temple worked, and gave favors.
By the time Wednesday Night was over, the visions were more grim. The invasion was in the Crossing again. Sometime during that invasion, clerics discovered they could not pray to Peri'el. They would no sooner start the prayer and begin her name, than their tongue would be torn from them.
When the actual attack was over, some of us went up to Peri'el's altar in the Eye of the Thirteen. Where we discovered her altar no longer gave favors.
As we stood there, here is what we saw:
<<A dark shrike flies into the area, alighting silently on the sandalwood altar. It preens its feathers carefully, fixing you with its dark, beady gaze.
We froze. I figured we were all dead. And then ...
<<The shrike cocks its head, then flies away once more. You notice a small white blot on the sandalwood where the shrike was perched.
As if no favor orbs were not enough?
And so, now that I have set the scene for anyone who has not been there, here is where we are calling for a Song Vigil at the Altar of Peri'el in the Eyes of the Thirteen at the Crossings High Temple.
Create songs, long or short to honor Peri'el, to sing lulling songs of support for her endless work at keeping the World Dragon sleeping - or sing some of the traditional song scrolls relating to Peri'el (Peri'el's Song, the Song of Peri'el, or Sleeping Fire are three I know about) we can sing together to show our support for her.
When: Saturday, Oct 26 at 9pm Eastern Time
Shenney has already converted one of the scroll songs into a song you can perform, so that other bards can sing with you in a chorus. I will get a links to all of these song scrolls ready for those who want to support the traditional lore of our guild and land with these performances.
We feel strongly that choruses of voices lifted up might be able to somehow reach her.
We may not be trained by the Sisters - but music is music, right?!
