Choirs on Winter Air

[TwilightWolf 883]

The cool warmth of gilded leaves has been whisked away by winter's blanket, and while most of the realm tend to their hearth and food stores the most wonderous of traditions emerges from the silvery heights of elven spires. The newborn city of Caras y Tennallar alights with a timeless tradition of the oldest kin of elves; ethereal song that pierces the very heavens themselves in joyous celebration of the season. Voices of ancient lyric, bells of silver and gold chime, figures of the choir dressed in near ghostly robes of white, ruby, and gold. Indeed, the elder children herald the coming winter not with dread nor sorrow, for this is a season of hope and joy for all. And so their voices loft high and echo the great  bells of the elvish home...

 

 

"Hark! How the bells (Hark how the bells)

Sweet elvish bells!

All seem to sing (All seem to sing)

Cheer will we bring! (Cheer will we bring!)

 

Winter is here

Let us rejoice!

For all the world

Lend them our voice!

 

Gaily we sing

While our kin sing songs of good cheer

Winter is here!"

 

 

Like frozen specters do the elves of the coast float from town and city, bearing wreaths of holly, decadent sweets and treats, crowns of mistletoe and glittering gifts from the heart of elvendom. Like leaves on the frozen air they dance and sing merry tune and exaltations to the natural order of the world, to peace among descendants, to new life and life lived, and in reverence of those now beyond reach of their heavenly voices. With gentle smiles do they accept new voices to their procession, until like a great lapping of sea foam do they descend upon all nations of the world spreading the news of love, of family, and of the spirit of winter's hope.

Seek out the voices and figures, children of the world, for the elves have come to herald all that is good and wonderful in the world! Let your hearts be light and lifted with their song, and may your hearths burn with the firm surety of hope this season. Receive treasures, gift your own, relish the rosey smiles of the youth among us, and celebrate your kin.
