Acolyte Narwen of the Sibylline Sisterhood

[Hierophant]

Dear Narwen,

My sister speaks highly of you and I am told that you have the voice of a Songbird. I have penned a lament for the Twins, my favored spoke, and I intend to perform it for the first time thrice the day from now.

Would you be keen on supporting it? Here is a draft of it, though I consider it complete, it would sound much better sung by three figures in unison, or one after the other responsible for one section of verse and then unison for the chorus.

In Shadows Deep

[Verse]
In shadows deep
Where darkness falls
Kalim calls
Through ancient halls
The Martyrs weep
Their souls entwined
A vow we keep
Forever bound

[Verse 2]
Against Death's grip
Our swords we wield
The Twins
They stand
Our fate they shield
With hearts on the pyre
We march ahead
To quench our ire
Where Martyrs tread

[Chorus]
In shadows deep, our spirits play
Echoes of old light our way
Entwined in fate, the Undying Dance
Forward, we go, with Gamil's Lance.

Do let me know as soon as you are able, and if you know any other musician and/or singer that may be interested in this clamor I commit to.

Yours truly,
Leo of the Tzimiskes Clan
Bard of Soot & Mud
Partisan of the Gold League

Hello Leo Tzimiskes,

Thank you for reaching out to me. I am touched and honoured by the gesture. I have looked over your ode and find it very pleasing. I can hear it in my head as I read the words, something that is not always true of written works.

I feel that a duet is the preferred means to sing it. The first verse in baritone, the second in soprano, and the third alternating with the first half of each line sung by one and the second half completed by the other. The only piece that stuck out to me was the mention of Gamil's Lance - I have not known him to favor such a tool or weapon in any of his depictions or stories.

With respect and regret both, I must decline the honour. As for talented singers and performers who are actively performing in the Well, I can recommend Zaheera, an Ashfolk, and Niranye, a student of the College of Balladeers.
