Eric Whitacre - Lux Aurumque
If you have any love of vocal music I beg you to listen to the first 30 seconds and not fall in love with that soprano. I usually find the soprano part to be overpowering and too loud, but this is done beautifully.

An empty stretch of beach—desolately and lonely to some, a source of quiet comfort for a one lone Eothan.

Cover art for the MxM Bookmark French language edition of Evensong’s Heir, coming soon! This was a beautiful surprise, I had no idea they were going to do it! I’m absolutely in love with this vision of Valnon. ❤️

A beautiful piece from one of my favorite games; it has a lovely choir section that reminds me heavily of LS Baird’s Songbirds of Valnon series. The second book is underway and I’m so excited about seeing more!

(from ✾ ) “Ellis’ parentage is utterly unknown, as a true Temple foundling he was found abandoned in an Undercity slum and brought to the Laypriestesses at about age three.”

Happy Birthday!

LS Baird, our fearless leader and author of Evensong’s Heir!
and
Ellis, His Grace the 50th Thrush of Valnon!
Monthly Contests!
Howdy, folks! Tselina/Rook here. I want to know what y’all would think of a continual, monthly contest. Submissions would open at the beginning of the month (probably on the 5th), and will be due the last day of said month.
There will be Real Prizes(tm), and the idea is to get people flocking (haha get it it’s a joke) to the series!
Right now, I’ve got a ton of ideas, but I want to know -- what kind of themes would y’all like to see, and what kind of submissions would y’all be putting in?
I wrote a thing for Blossomnight!
It is called Queensong. I am trying not to be horrifically self-conscious about it! *^^* There are spoilers for Evensong’s Heir so if you care about spoilers and haven’t read the book yet, don’t read this fic.
It is actually VERY belated for Blossomnight, because I am slow and forgot I was slow, but it is also Willim’s birthday so it seemed a good time!
Evensong’s Heir is one of my absolute favourite fantasy books. I spend ridiculous amounts of time daydreaming about Valnon and imagining what the city would look like. When the printed book came out I bought a boxful of copies and distributed them liberally among my friends (you’re welcome, friends!) and in fact still have a spare copy, so if you are my IRL buddy or my internet buddy*** and you haven’t read it yet and would like to, hit me up.
***if you’re wondering if we’re buddies, if we’ve chatted more than a few times we’re probably buddy enough for you to hit me up for books. :D
Happy 2nd Songbird Anniversary/Willim's bday!
I have some fun things to post today when I get home. In honor of today, why not pass the book on to someone?
The Lark Ascending
He rises and begins to round, he drops the silver chain of sound
of many links without a break, in chirrup, whistle, slur and shake.
For singing till his heaven fills, ‘tis love of earth that he instills,
ever winging up and up, our valley is his golden cup,
he the wine which overflows to lift us with him as he goes.
'Till lost on his aerial rings in light, and then the fancy sings.
- from The Lark Ascending, George Meredith (excerpted by Ralph Vaughn Williams)
…
This pastoral romance for solo violin and orchestra, inspired by Meredith’s poem, is meant to evoke the song of the skylark.
Preybird Halcyon has created a beautiful series of wrap jewelry to honor Valnon’s Saints. This set is for Saint Alveron -- instead of amethyst, Halcyon chose garnet to symbolize the blood he spilled for his country. Beautiful, elegant, and ethereal.
Please consider checking out more of Halcyon’s designs here!

Just in time for Blossomnight: New Dolls!
My original tribute (cosplay and a short fic) have unfortunately been slightly derailed, thanks to the annoying time constraints of graduate life. But fear not faithful! Azalea has released a new doll maker and it’s perfect for our three favorite songbirds, in their last years of their colors.
As always, Ellis’ colors make doll creation absolutely divine. There were no hair styles that were quite curly enough for my liking so a fun little wafty look for him!
THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO FINS THAT DIDN’T LOOK WHITE. So I had to play with the color balance of his sacred armor, making most of his torso silver. He doesn’t mind, though, since it meant that he got to be decked out in much more tribute than usual. Also that headpiece is made from a few bead pieces and a star decoration (I’m sure he loves it)
My only complaint with Willim is that there was no actual white hair. He ended blending a little too much into his armor, but the white/purple of his tail are perfect.
I will hopefully have more tribute to submit to our favorite temple in a few weeks (when my life isn’t being ruled by books and papers).
Sing sweetly faithful.
