>>I blame Sortny!

But in all seriousness, it was really awesome seeing Bards pooled in one place and making mischief. (although, totally unintentional! Sorry Jaedren!)

So I missed them by, what, twenty minutes? Or am I missing something . . .

Oh man, I really should have checked the boards earlier :( At least we will have the chance to see them again at HE.

Masterwork is better.

It would've been nice to have actually seen this, but by the time I got off work, got home, the post alerting to the release was a mere 7 hours old and the fest had just closed. What was sold?

There were 4 different instruments.

- a dragonwood harp embellished with intricately engraved flames
Delicate tongues of fire dance about the pillar, winding their way up to the neck. Highly polished, the gleaming wood only accentuates the imagery. The soundbox, left unaltered, displays the wood's distinctive scale pattern, which glistens with the same meticulously polished finish.

- a platinum flute with black gold embellishments
Delicate smoke-like wisps of overlaid black gold wind about the instrument and form a slender matte-finish ring at the end of the flute.

- a silver ritual drum adorned with bas-relief scenes
The silver panels on the sides of the drum, highlighted in gold overlay, portray the story of the World Dragon. In one scene, four moons grace a peaceful night sky. The next captures the creature's hatching, fragments of Grazhir raining down to Elanthia. Several following panels depict the battle between the Immortals and the World Dragon, ending with Peri'el singing to the sleeping beast. Oddly, the final panel is blank, an ominous if deliberate omission.

I didn't get the tap/look of the faenellica.

You notice Jaedren come out of hiding.

The harp was 200, the drum was 100, the flute was 125 or 150 and the faenellica was 75 plat.

Here is the a sana'ati wood faenellica inlaid with Elven silver

Delicate swirls of the gleaming precious metal wind their way about the instrument's soundholes and trail off into wispy curling tendrils.

The sana'ati wood faenellica appears to be a stringed instrument.
You are certain that the sana'ati wood faenellica is crafted from wood.

I don't think it's one handed and it needs a pick to be played.

I thought they were wind instruments too. I'm so confused now, I was like 90% sure!

Well, I managed to get two. Since I didn't realize just quite how limited they would be, I'd be willing to give one up (the ritual drum).

If there's anyone out there who really wants this drum, post here and let me know.

>>Did you get two drums? I mean...if you really are willing to part with it...I would love it. How much do you want for it?

No, I got a harp and a drum. But it's okay, I like the harp and would rather see more people get a chance to have something cool since I have one already. I do hope more show up later so I can slowly grow my collection.

I don't see any reason to charge for it. If you are really rich, feel free to pay the store price, but otherwise it's not necessary. Just pay it forward; put something neat on the bard shelf sometime. I've picked up many a cool little item that way.

I'll wait a day or so to see if anyone else posts about wanting it and then roll a die or something to determine who gets it.

- Ixien

Anyone done testing with these yet? Or already know what difference the quality makes? Seems like I might be learning a little quicker, of course that could just be because I've actually been paying closer attention to my script than normal.

>>I'd like the drum as well.

Hey Shadow, I'm a little confused. I don't pay that much attention, but I thought you were a Ranger or Thief? In general I am really supportive of Thief disguises (or any disguises), but in this case I'd rather it go to a guilded Bard, preferably someone who plays a Bard primary.

If you are a Bard though, my apologies.

- Ixien

>>Yes, true to I do run a disguised thief, and a ranger that I hardly play, and a bit of other stuff.

Okay, thanks for telling me. I think this time I'd rather it go to someone who is Bard primary, as I think Belladulce is (?).

Belladulce, I tend to stay around Shard/Leth. I can come up to Crossing sometime if you like though. Send a ring thought to me in game or email me and we can arrange it.

I'll keep a lookout for you in game! I need to make a trip down to Shard and bug Malik about a voice throw here in a bit anyway ;)
