Ladies, Gentlemen, and Fae-Folk,

In case you have not heard, the Lord Bard intends to lift from our collective shoulders some part of the burdens that weigh upon us.

If you have not already done so, you may travel to the Lord Bard's temple in Caer Witrin, where you will find the Muse of Lightweaving, Ferenthal waiting at the entrance. You may GREET her to learn of the Lord Bard's candles, and speak with her further if you wish to take part in the ritual involved. You may then take your candle somewhere quiet to reflect while you focus on the candle. This will allow you to imbue the candle with your unpleasant emotions and memories, turning the candle black.

Come Lupar, next month, bring your black candles to Caer Witrin a day after Serenade. Per the Lord Bard Himself, we will burn away our griefs together.

In Song,
Taelle Starling
