Art History

by -Lacie-

Vill Valorian started the first ‘think tank’ discussion by saying, “We are here to form ideas on new Dreamsoul arts, and for the construction of such eventually.” He then went on to detail several ideas he had come up with for a new Dreamsoul art. Others in attendance included: Dar’canon, Poppygirl, Inzoum, Coraal, Purple Lace, Anasina, Liolira, and Lunk. After much discussion on several interesting ideas, a vote was cast and it was decided that the Art of Rally would be the focus of the group’s efforts. The Doorbell idea was also tossed around, debated, and discussed, but tabled as a DreamSoul art for some rather humorous reasons, mainly the total annoyance of improving such an art, along with ‘ding dong wars’.

Next, the name was discussed and all agreed on the name “Rally”. The leader of the project was agreed upon as Vill Valorian. Inzoum suggested a message be sent to let others know the target had been cast upon with this art. The discussion then proceeded as to how the art would function, with Coraal posing the problem if the art only worked on crested members of a particular house, excluding Freespirits and others from different Houses.

Vill Valorian began the second meeting with, “We’re going into formulation and development phase of Rally. Rally is going to be a House Art.”, and followed up by explaining “It is telepathy that Guardians and Rulers can send any message to any member, I imagine. Rally will be used to help coordinate battles”. Additional uses of the art might include avoiding danger. Discussion continued.

A first attempt to bring forth the Art of Rally occurred in The Teaching Guild, attended by Arylana Jax and others. Their attempts were met with unusual whispers; suspected as a result of attempting to use pure telepathy to obtain the Art.

After several attempts by the GateKeeper Guild to attune Rally to focal Elemen of Willpower, Vill Valorian gathered as many others of different Focii to the Center of the City, Provenance, in Threshold. Vill Valorian was joined by Harkyn, Flower of Cienn, Purple Lace, Dar’canon, Black Cloud and others. Vill went over the process, noting that the art of Rally was partially created already and that all that was needed was to let the Art affix or “invite it” to the dreamers.

Once briefed, dreamers were asked to position themselves at the 4 corners of the Fountain in the Center of the room (the room being the in the center of the City), and those to whom the art would be bestowed upon to stand in the fountain’s water, close as they could to the center fountain. Eight candles were placed around the ledge around the fountain’s pool, lit and all assumed their positions. It was agreed that Harkyn (a Gatekeeper) and Flower of Cienn (a Fatesender) stand dead center, in hopes of them gaining the art as proceeds of the ritual.

Insight took East and West positions, while Lucidity and Willpower took North and South, respectfully, with Resilience formidably present within the water of the pool. All outside the circle of candles began to meditate, channeling their focal energies towards the volunteers in the center. The volunteers were to call out when extra energy of a certain focus was required. Vill then set the Mandela sigils (candles) aflame and began. Focal energy began to flow towards Harkyn and Flower of Cienn, and with the arrival of Lu Chaos, more Willpower was requested by him, which he then obliged. Vill called upon Chaos, Randoming loudly as even more WillPower was added to the focal energy directed at Harkyn and Flower. The rush of Willpower strengthened and as Harkyn decided to release the energy and abort the attempt, Lu Chaos was drawn into the pool, falling squarely into Harkyn, landing in atop him. Harkyn remarked that we had just created the Art of “Summon Lu Chaos”! The ritual was interrupted by the arrival of Bandaret at the Alliance of the Eclipse, told to the group by Joandaltha.

Gathered at the Sanctum of Syriand in the Citadel.
