Lady Danay speaks on Leya.
Pan Arkati festival 5102
Recorded and edited by Morgiest Frostgiant



Iscikella recites:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our speaker tonight is Danay. Who is going to speak on Leya."

Danay smiles at Iscikella.
Iscikella recites:

"Please keep fidgeting to a minimum."

Iscikella recites:

"No spell-casting."

Iscikella recites:

"And wait for her to open the floor after her lecture before questioning or commenting."

Iscikella smiles.
Danay smiles at everyone in attendence.
Danay says, "I would like to welcome all of you to the panel discussion tonight. Our topic for this discussion is Leya, patroness of Amazons and the martial arts."
Danay says, "I would also like to thank Iscikelle and Tierus for organizing this gathering during the week."
Danay smiles.
Danay mumbles something that you don't quite catch.
Danay says, "I am terrible at pronouncing names."
Danay bows to Iscikella.
Iscikella smiles at Danay.
Danay says, "I will be giving a short talk about Leya, and then we will open up for discussion. I would like to ask that all of you reserve your comments or questions until I am done in order to keep things moving along smoothly."
Danay says, "When I am done, I will open things up for moderated discussion so that everyone interested can get a chance to speak, give their viewpoints, ask questions, debate, etc."
Danay says, "I do not want to dwell too long on Leya's story as it has been told on several occasions and is available in various libraries. If you are not overly familiar with the details of the story, I do urge you to read up on it for yourself. But I will cover the basic points as they are key to part of who Leya is."
Danay says, "Leya is the daughter of Lord Kai, an Arkati and an Ardenai elf by the name of Learya. Legend has it that her mother had the rare gift of prescience and thus possibly possessed some Arkati blood herself."
Danay says, "Leya's mother died in childbirth, but foresaw darkness in her daughter's future. There are tales that a shadowed figure was present at Learya's deathbed. Some legends say it was Lorminstra, making sure Kai did not interfere with the fact it was Learya's time to pass the Ebon Gates and others say it was Luukos, who had other darker purposes."
Danay says, "The death of Leya's mother and the shadowed figure..."
Danay says, "Given the rest of what we know about what happened with Leya, I tend to believe the tales of it being Luukos."
Danay says, "Kai was distraught with Learya's death, as he truly loved her, and in his grief left Leya to be raised by the Ardenai. It was not until Leya was a grown woman, though still very young in elven terms, that she and Kai were reunited. "
Danay says, "They found each other again at a Festival of Games that was being held between the great Elven Houses. Leya, showing the physical gifts she had inherited from her father, had won every match she had entered. It is said that her sword arm was strong and that her skill with a bow rivaled that of the Arkati. "
Danay says, "Her loss in the finals of the rapier tournament, according to the tales, was due to a hare dashing out onto the field at the wrong moment and getting tangled in her legs, causing her to lose her footing, and thus the match."
Danay says, "This is why Amazons of Leya will often traditionally serve roasted rabbit at their festivals."
Danay grins.
Danay says, "After the festivities were over, Leya accompanied Kai on his travels for many years. He taught her about combat, skills with weapons and her Arkati heritage. It is said that her skill at arms was only overshadowed by her beauty. Though none of the nobles who lost their hearts to her ever caught her eye."
Danay says, "At one point in their travels they stayed a time with some halflings. Leya taught the halfling youths wrestling and advanced archery techniques, while they taught her tricks with throwing blades."
Danay says, "During this visit, Kai was given Soulingen for safekeeping and Leya was gifted with a halfling sword, which in her hands was more akin to a dagger."
Danay says, "Elsewhere in the lands, evil was afoot. This was during the time of Despana's ascendance and the world was uneasy. Harking back to what Learya had said about seeing darkness in Leya's future, Kai created a magic forest and then bid Leya to remain there protected while he sought out information about the troubles."
Danay says, "Leya did as she was asked. Kai left her with a magic steed he created from an owl as her companion and at her request, also left Soulingen in her hands for combat practice."
Danay says, "While Kai was gone, an injured Vaalor elf by the name of Egan was placed in the forest by a wizard of some power. Leya nursed him back to health and during that time, they fell in love. Eventually he had to leave and return to his family as he was long overdue. He and Leya agreed to meet again on a certain date and she bid him temporarily farewell."
Danay says, "He returned to the chaos of the Undead Wars in his homeland and took up his responsibilities to aid in the battles. When he was late on the appointed date for their meeting, Leya sensed that he was in danger. Some say she had inherited her mother's gift of foresight."
Danay says, "Leya left the forest on the steed Rigaetha, carrying Soulingen at her side. When she arrived at the battlefield, her bloodlust was strong and she drew Soulingen, meeting the enemy in a fury. Her skill with the great weapon helped the elves win the day."
Eldaiga just arrived.
Danay says, "Luukos was also present and watching the proceedings. During the battle he caused Egan to appear to be the enemy in Leya's eyes, and in the bloodlust of battle she struck her lover a mortal blow."
Danay says, "Leya was distraught and it is said that her cry of grief when she realized what she had done released the magic at the heart of her steed Rigaetha, and he transformed once more into the snowy while owl he was originally."
Danay says, "Leya returned to the forest and there built a shrine, Egan's tomb, in the place where they were to have been reunited. Then in her grief she left Soulingen on the altar and took up the halfling sword, a dagger, as her only weapon and left."
Danay says, "No tales have yet been uncovered that tell of what she did after that or if she was ever seen by mortals again. Being an immortal, she still lives on and has made herself known to many over the centuries, but does not apparently walk the world as the elves do."
Danay says, "The shrine spoken of is the one that can be found in the forests not far from Wehnimer's Landing."
Danay says, "Leya is usually depicted as a beautiful young woman of athletic build, wearing only a tunic and carrying a dagger. Her symbol has become the dagger and her commonly accepted colors are deep blue and ivory."
Danay says, "Leya has had many sects and gatherings devoted to her over the centuries, along with many individuals who revere her in their own way."
Danay says, "Several years ago, in 5097, Dame Deavon, who was Lady Deavon at the time, banded together with other followers in order to discover more about Leya. It was this group that found the shrine once again, after it had been burried in obscurity for untold time. "
Danay says, "I was lucky enough to be able to join those bold adventurers near the completion of their quest and was with them the day the shrine was re-discovered. I cannot put into words how that moment felt when we entered. It remains one of the most poignant moments of my life."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "There are few of us left still adventuring who were in that group. Though if you ever wish to hear more of a first hand account of those times, you can seek out Deavon, Shadowkatt, Sylanae and occasionally Grobinal."
Danay says, "In the year 5098 Lady Kythyn formed the Amazon Tribe of Leya, based in Wehnimer's Landing as a group of women devoted to Leya following many ancient Amazon traditions. Much of the rest of what I have to say tonight comes from my experiences with the Tribe and my Sisters, how we viewed Leya and my own understanding as one of her clerics over the years."
Danay says, "The Tribe technically no longer exists, though my Lodge of the Grey Wolf Amazons continues all the Tribe traditions. The Lodge is part of a larger organization called the Amazon Alliance, which is open to all people of honor, no matter their gender or specific religious persuasion, as long as they are willing to honor Leya and the Amazon Way. If anyone is interested in hearing more about that, you may talk to me or other members after the discussion period."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "Leya's shrine is quite beautiful and can lead to many hours of contemplation and meditation. I encourage all of you to pay it a visit if you have not already."
Danay says, "The shrine contains four aspects. They are Strength, Mercy, Night and Day. These four aspects are the cornerstones of what we call the Amazon Way."
Danay says, "Before I go further, I should probably be clear that Amazons are only one of many types of followers of Leya. There are also many Amazon traditions that have nothing to do with Leya. So in my mind, and the minds of most followers, these things are not synonymous."
Ferrius rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Danay says, "Thus, even those who do not identify as Amazons still usually revere the aspects depicted in Leya's shrine and hold them central to their faith and way of life."
Danay says, "Those of us who follow Leya tend to not be overly religious sorts. In keeping with Elven tradition, Leya is usually seen more as our patroness and a guide for how we are to live our lives. We often look on her as a mother or sister figure."
Danay says, "This should not be construed as a lack of respect for an immortal goddess, but rather in keeping with who Leya is and what she expects of her followers."
Danay says, "As a cleric, I tend to be a bit more religious than the typical follower or typical elf, but when compared to clerics of many other faiths, may seem a bit lacking in that way."
Danay says, "If any of you in attendance tonight are also clerics, I urge you to visit the cleric guild here in Icemule during your stay, as Leya has a very lovely altar within the building."
Danay says, "As I mentioned, following Leya is more a way of life than anything else. At least, I believe that is the best way to describe it. Leya expects her followers to attempt to live up to certain ideals and that we can best serve her by living out these ideals and acting as examples of these values to others."
Danay says, "These ideals are incorporated in the aspects of her shrine and can also be summed up using words such as honor, strength in combat, wisdom in word and deed and a willingness to show mercy to others."
Danay says, "This may sound fairly straight forward and simple and I suppose for some it might be. I on the other hand often find these high ideals rather difficult to live up to."
Danay grins.
Danay says, "But just as Leya believes we must show mercy, she is quite merciful with her followers and our ever present mortal failings. The fact that Leya herself has failed and overcome helps us to ground ourselves and know that it is in the trying where we succeed."
Danay says, "I do not view Leya as someone who revels in the constant prayers and rituals of her followers. As a warrior and an elf, religious trappings are not the things she values most, or even a lot. She would much rather see someone gaining joy in their advancement in sword techniques, vanquishing evil or helping someone in need. "
Danay says, "Having said that, as a cleric I feel that prayer and rituals have their place. I will often pray or meditate in appropriate places, often using candles or incense as an enhancement. Offerings are also often approved."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "Amazon traditions also use the four aspects in Leya's shrine for our calendar of High Holy Days. We relate Strength to Spring, Day to Summer, Mercy to Fall and Night to Winter. "
Ferrius smiles.
Danay says, "Each Holy Day is celebrated in a different manner with a different theme, befitting that aspect of the shrine. These are often the times where we use more elaborate rituals to celebrate our reverence for Leya and what she brings to our lives. "
Danay says, "Strength in the Spring is normally celebrated with physical contests of various types in keeping with traditions and the love both Kai and Leya have for such events."
Danay says, "Most of us who follow Leya also have a deep reverence for Kai. I would recommend to anyone who has not yet made their way there, to visit his shrine just outside Wehnimer's Landing. The talismans outside his shrine have a great deal to teach and reading them is always an emotionally moving experience for me."
Danay smiles softly.
Danay says, "Those of us who follow Leya are blessed in that our Lady truly cares for us and has often made her caring known personally and in many ways. Many of her followers have had personal encounters with the Lady and will be happy to share them with others. Though I might add, some of these are highly personal, with the details only shared among good friends."
Danay says, "I should mention that here in attendence tonight, I know at least Laleena and Mistytwilight have such experiences, perhaps more."
Danay smiles.
Laleena smiles quietly to herself.
Danay says, "The mithril dagger pendant that I wear, which has been a traditional symbol of full membership in the Tribe, bears Leya's blessing and it took place during an extremely difficult time in my life. Simply knowing that she cared and had faith in me allowed me to continue on, even though the path was hard."
Danay places her hand on her mithril dagger pendant.
Danay says, "I think that pretty much sums up what I wanted to specifically share with you all tonight. I hope it was not too rambling. What I would like to do now is open up this session to discussion."
Danay says, "In order to to make sure that everyone interested gets a chance to speak, I will be moderating the discussion. I would ask that everyone please be polite and listen while someone else has the floor. "
Danay says, "Raise your hand if you wish to speak. When I call on you, please stand and speak up so that we can all hear."
Danay says, "I have asked Laleena to assist me with keeping names of the people who have raised their hands."
Danay smiles at Laleena.
Danay says, "You may either express your own views on Leya, or ask questions. You can ask questions of me or anyone else here that you may wish. Just please be specific who you are addressing."
Danay says, "While I would like to keep some semblance of order so that we can hear everyone, I would also encourage this to be an open and free flowing discussion, so please do not feel too inhibited."
Danay points at Weran.
Danay says, "I believe you were first."
Danay smiles at Weran.
Laleena says, "If I miss yer hand, jest whisper to me and point it out."
Danay smiles at Laleena.
Weran says,"M'Lady Danay, please understand ah mean no disrespect. Ah hold the followers of Leya in the highest reguard."
Weran says, "But, I have read in numerous tomes, the quote"And that is where, it seems, Leya remained until the end of her days."
Danay nods to Weran.
Weran says,"That would seem to indicate tae me, that she was nae immortal, nor even still alive...."
Weran asks, "How would ye asnwer this?"
scratch my headYou work your fingers under your black tam and scratch your head.
Mistytwilight hums distractedly to herself.
Danay says, "I believe that is simply a story teller's saying. And not something to be interpreted literally."
Danay says, "There are too many of us who have had Leya involved in our lives and even heard her speak before."
Danay says, "So I would have a hard time being convinced she is no longer among us."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "She is at least half Arkati."
Weran says, "Hrm, are ye certain it was actually the Lady Leya? Ah mean, that would seem tae be momentus news. Ah hae communed with Lord Kai, and even he does not know she still lives...."
Weran asks, "Should we nae inform him?"
Danay says, "I have heard Lord Kai's voice before."
Danay asks, "Inform him of what?"
Danay says, "Oh that she lives? I am quite sure he is aware of it."
Danay smiles.
Guhl says, "maybe there be an imortal aspect and a mortal aspect and the imortal aspect live son while the mortal one doesn't..."
Guhl shrugs.
Danay says, "Perhaps Laleena or Misty would care to give their view on that as well."
Aranrhod says, "Life for us and life to an Arkati might mean two totally different things"
Weran says, "Why, that she still lives of course. He was asked that very question, in a commune not six months agone, and he replied nae, that she had passed beyond the viel."
Danay says, "That is possible."
Danay asks, "Eh, are you sure that was Kai?"
Weran says, "Hrm, ah hae seen him afore M'lady, it certainly appeared tae be him aye..."
Danay says, "Well having not heard it, I cannot comment on that, other than it is bloody odd."
Danay grins at Weran.
Weran says, "Again, ah mean nae disrespect, ah merely wish tae git this straight in me poor fiter head."
Mistytwilight says, "I believe the Lady Leya has shed her mortal body, but in nae means has she passed beyond the Ebon Gates."
Danay says, "I have witnessed Leya raising Shadowkatt from the dead."
Mistytwilight smiles at you.
Danay nods to you.
Danay says, "I can understand."
Danay smiles at you.
Danay nods to Mistytwilight.
Weran says, "Perhaps that is what Lord Kai meant then."
Weran says, "I thank ye both fer yer patience with this warrior."
Weran bows.
Danay smiles at Weran.
Laleena says, "And as I've never heard Kai, I cain't comment on what he might have said, but I have heard M'lady. And the hearin' was all the basis I needed fer my belief."
Danay says, "I am glad you asked, tis an important point."
Danay nods to Weran.
Mistytwilight nods.
Danay smiles at Laleena.
Laleena smiles.
Danay points at Guhl.
Danay smiles at Guhl.
Guhl stands up.
Danay says, "You were next."
Guhl coughs.
Guhl asks, "Lady Danay, ::Guhl bows:: I too am a cleric. And there is much to appreciate in the teachings of Leya, in their essence; and what is not to appreciate in masterful woman, but surely, this is cult reserved for women, no?"
Guhl fidgets.
Danay says, "Amazons are all women of course, but Leya has had quite a few male followers as well."
Danay smiles at Guhl.
Danay says, "It just tends to be that men prefer Kai."
Danay grins at Guhl.
Danay says, "Leya is welcoming to anyone wishing to follow her ways."
Guhl says, "ah..."
Danay says, "And the Amazons also honor the men who honor Leya."
Danay smiles.
Mistytwilight says, "Oh aye, we honor them greatly."
Mistytwilight smiles quietly to herself.
Danay just nudged Mistytwilight.
Laleena begins chuckling at Mistytwilight.
Iscikella begins chuckling at Mistytwilight.
Danay says, "Some more than others."
Danay appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Guhl says, "ah"
Mistytwilight clears her throat.
Niasan says, "I won't tell your daughter or Calloran you said that.."
Mistytwilight examines her fingernails.
Niasan glances at Mistytwilight.
Danay asks, "Did you have anything further?"
Mistytwilight gasps.
Danay smiles at Guhl.
Mistytwilight's face turns slightly pale.
Mistytwilight says, "Oh aye, the Elf..."
Mistytwilight clears her throat.
Guhl asks, "a simple question perhaps, but might I sneak in one more very short question? Whare is Leya's shrine, I would like to see it for myself?"
Niasan asks, "Yes... forgot your unscrupulous son-in-law was here right now, hm?"
Niasan grins at Mistytwilight.
Danay smiles at Guhl.
Danay asks, "Her shrine is in the forests a ways from the Landing. Do you know where the stone circle is where bears and thraks roam?"
Guhl shakes his head.
Danay says, "If that territory is unfamilliar to you, I am sure you could gain one of Lord Tsoran's maps and that could help you find it."
Guhl says, "But I'm sure I can find it, if that is a known place"
Danay smiles at Guhl.
Guhl nods to Danay.
Danay says, "Tis somewhat near the stone circle."
Danay says, "A bit north and west of there."
Guhl nods.
Niasan says, "Or you could go wandering and blunder into it like I did once."
Niasan nods to Guhl.
Danay grins at Niasan.
Danay says, "That works too."
Guhl smiles at Niasan.
Mistytwilight chuckles.
Guhl says, "well, thankee..."
Guhl bows.
Danay bows to Guhl.
Aranrhod says, "I found it that way also"
Danay smiles.
Guhl sits down.
Aranrhod nods to Niasan.
Niasan says, "It's a good way to find a lot of things.. foolproof, actually."
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Niasan nods to Aranrhod.
Danay cocks her head at Ferrius.
Ferrius says, "well... I was wondering, about after the tragedy of Leya killing her beloved... did Kai sense the steed he created being unmade, or return to the forest shrine afterwards as he was to protect the sword that Leya left there... "
Danay says, "Ah..."
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Danay says, "Good question."
Danay says, "Kai was detained at the time of the incident and was not present, but aye he sensed what had happened."
Danay says, "The sword itself I believe is protected by magics from Leya herself."
Danay says, "It cannot be removed from the altar and as far as I know, has never been in any danger."
Danay says, "Tis a powerful weapon, it steals the soulds of those it slays."
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
(Jacinto nods...undirectedly.)
Danay asks, "Did you have any follow up questions or comments?"
Ferrius says, "one last thing m'lady... I was wondering if you would be willing to relate your encounter with the Lady Leya, or if that were to be too personal"
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Jacinto says, "Very informative....but I need to rest."
Danay says, "Well I have been blessed that there have been several actually...."
Danay says, "How about I tell one of a bit more lighthearted bent."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "Good thing Katt is not here, she hates this story."
Danay appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Danay says, "One night Katt wanted to go charge some items at the Reach."
Danay says, "Any of you who have been there know that entry and exit can be daunting."
Danay says, "Especially exit through the water tunnels."
Danay says, "There are tales of those who have been trapped there for days or weeks."
Danay says, "I and a good friend Baleford were outside by Lake Eonak waiting for Katt's return."
Danay says, "We sensed that she was in trouble, she had been trying to find her way out for two hours."
Danay says, "She was cold and wet and tired and about to give up for the night."
Danay says, "So the only thing I could think of at the time to help...was to pray to Lady Leya, since Leya seems to have a fondness for Shadowkatt."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "So I chanted the Prayer of Commune and asked for Leya's assistance."
Danay exclaims, "At first nothing happened and I thought we would not get a response, when the next thing we know, out pops Katt into the lake!"
Danay flashes a wide grin.
Danay says, "I had tried offering a yellow rose that Katt had given me and had put it back in my cloak again when we thought it had not worked."
Danay says, "As we returned to town I felt something odd, looked in my cloak..."
Danay says, "And the rose had been transformed into a shining golden rose."
Danay smiles.
Danay says, "A gift from our Lady."
Danay says, "Katt has the rose now, I gave it to her as a gift when she reached her fiftieth training."
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Danay says, "So that is one story."
Isyldra asks, "Did she get out of the tunnels?"
Danay nods to Isyldra.
Ferrius says, "thank you for sharing that m'lady"
Danay says, "Aye, that is what I meant for when she popped out into the lake."
Danay smiles at Isyldra.
Danay says, "That is where the water tunnels exit."
Isyldra says, "Oh. Thank you."
Danay smiles.
Guhl says, "aye, twas a beautiful recounting..."
Danay asks, "Did you have anything further?"
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Sabitor just went northeast.
Ferrius says, "nae... I am new to these lands and am mearly leaning all I can"
Ferrius chuckles.
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Danay says, "Then I am glad you could join us."
Danay says, "Perhaps I should ask a question..."
Danay asks, "How many here follow Leya?"
Danay says, "I always enjoy meeting others I have not met before."
Mistytwilight raises her hand.
Laleena says, "Obviously."
Danay surveys the area.
Danay grins at Laleena.
Laleena appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Danay asks, "Misty or Laleena, is there anything either of you would like to add or perhaps a different viewpoint you can offer?"
Mistytwilight says, "Well, atleast they respect her."
Mistytwilight smiles softly.
Ferrius says, "I've yet to decide upon a pathos to follow... but I greatly enjoyed the recounting of your experiences and the story of Leya"
Laleena says, "Jest so I don't know what I could add, but if anyone had a specific question, I could answer."
Danay says, "I like putting them on the spot."
Danay appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Laleena grins.
Danay smiles at Ferrius.
Iscikella grins at Danay.
Laleena just nudged Danay.
Mistytwilight mutters under her breath.
Laleena says, "I should be used to it..."
Mistytwilight squints.
Laleena says, "Oddly, I'm not."
Danay nods to Laleena.
Danay grins.
Laleena gazes in wonder at her surroundings.
Mistytwilight nods to Laleena.
Mistytwilight says, "She's rather lovely at doing it to me."
Mistytwilight stares off into space.
Danay says, "Laleena and Misty are both members of the Grey Wolf Lodge."
Danay winks at Mistytwilight.
Iscikella says, "Danay, I have a bit of an inquiry."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Danay smiles.
Iscikella says, "Though is about something I witnessed."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "And I was not the cleric."
Iscikella says, "So I may not know everything."
Danay says, "No one knows everything."
Danay grins.
Iscikella grins at Danay.
Iscikella says, "True."
Iscikella says, "My adoptive sister is a follower of Leya."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "And at one point she tried a commune to Leya, to ask her to interceded to Talbot Dabbings for some answers with regard to a few things. The idea was ask a warrior to talk to a warrior."
Iscikella says, "Now the commune was answered."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "But what Leya revealed had to do with her own sorrow regarding the loss of her lover."
Iscikella says, "Very very heart-rending the visions we all saw."
Danay cocks her head at Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "I'm not sure if my sister saw more than we did."
Danay says, "Aye? Perhaps you could share them."
Danay nods.
Iscikella says, "She was in tears."
Iscikella says, "Well, the image was of her love bleeding."
Danay winces.
Danay nods.
Iscikella says, "And Leya sobbing beside him."
Iscikella says, "And then casting away the sword that slew him."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "Truly was a shattering experience can tell ye."
Danay says, "I would imagine."
Danay asks, "May I ask how long ago this was?"
Iscikella says, "But my question was I never quite knew if Leya was trying to say that the concerns we were asking were unimportant..."
Aranrhod says, "It was...I was there."
Iscikella says, "Or that Talbot had... a life-wrenching experience of his own."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella says, "And she was showing us that what we asked was not part of what he could share."
Iscikella says, "I would be a bit interested in yer interpretation."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Danay ponders.
Iscikella says, "Though as I say, I don't know if my sister saw more than we did."
Danay says, "Well one thing seems to be true of all gods."
Iscikella says, "She was truthfully in tears for hours."
Danay says, "They rarely speak in direct terms."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella nods to Danay.
Iscikella says, "True enough."
Danay says, "Leya as much or more than any others seems to like to be vague and leave things up to us to interpret."
Mistytwilight says, "Aye, riddles they love."
Danay says, "Down right annoying much of the time."
Danay appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Iscikella smiles at Danay.
Iscikella says, "Know that from Lumnis."
Iscikella chuckles.
Danay says, "Since I was not present and am not aware of all the details of the circumstances, I think it would be folly for me to try and interpret."
Danay nods to Iscikella.
Iscikella nods to Danay.
Iscikella says, "I understand. I hope sometime my sister has a chance to speak to ye of it."
Danay asks, "How long ago was it, recently?"
Danay smiles at Iscikella.
Danay nods.
Iscikella says, "It was now about..."
Iscikella ponders.
Aranrhod says, "The visions were poignant to me."
Danay nods to Aranrhod.
Iscikella says, "Six months ago? About."
Danay says, "Interesting."
Danay nods.
Danay says, "I am not sure I would have known what to make of it either."
Iscikella nods to Danay.
Grandevr nods to Kadesha in greeting.
Iscikella says, "I do hope she can speak to ye of it at some point."
Danay smiles.
Iscikella says, "Really affected her deeply."
Danay says, "I would like that."
Danay nods.
Mistytwilight cocks her head at Iscikella.
Danay asks, "Does anyone else have any comments or questions?"
Mistytwilight asks, "What is your Sister's name?"
Eairus comes back into focus.
Danay nods to Mistytwilight.
Danay says, "That is a good one."
Danay grins.
Iscikella says, "Noonee."
Iscikella nods to Mistytwilight.
Danay says, "Ah, I think I have met her once quite a while back, but we never spoke really."
Danay says, "If there is nothing further, I would like to thank you all for attending and participating tonight and for being such a wonderful audience."
Danay smiles.
