"The Queen of Trees Sings to Blue Stones of Sound a Lyric for the Loving in the Fifth Age of the Earth", by Erik, 30 October 2011
Lolindir, Chief of the Gray-Swords, Marshall of the armies of the Loving, must insure that this song reach the ears of the Half-Ones. It is a caution that they refrain from the ways of the mortals if they wish to maintain contentment and establish "Ersarthyl" in this Fifth Age of the Earth.
"thus say to them to be content
that loving stay from mortal bent
and lay their hearts in forest's arms
so banished now their full alarm"

"The 5 Dreams of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning Trees Surviving the Burning of Vamaryl Forest in the Fifth Age of the Earth", by Erik Dec 2010
===================================
It was thought that Tree Xarsil was the only survivor of the Celerion Lord of Hate's burning of trees in the great forest of Vamaryl. This was not true. Many escaped and took refuge through the 'Portals of Light into the Westlands' of Earth where the mortals, then Celerion allies, gave them shelter and succor. Neither the incarnate of Hope nor the standard bearer of Love could ever allow the complete destruction of love, temperance, wisdom and beauty. The Five Dreams of Shur-Rea Urlim are mounted together using the wood of the dead trees at Vamaryl. The deceased trees now suround and protect the dreams and the dreams pay tribute to the dead wood.
Individual panel titles left to right:
1st Dream of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning the Blue Stones' Report to Tree Xndhsil of Assaults on Compassion by Mortals from the South Lands
2nd Dream of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning the Lament of the Driftlinn Spirits and the Ruin of their North WestTower by Mortal Armies of the East Lands
3rd Dream of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning the Descent of the 7th Portal into the Domain of Gold Wherein Abides the Spent Mortals of the West Lands
4th Dream of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning the Capture of Tree Xndhbrisil by the More Noble Aspect of the Mortal Nature in the Fifth Age of the Earth
5th Dream of Shur-Rea Urlim Concerning a Mortal Surveillance of Tree Xndhardunsil Guarded by Celerion Stones of Prophesy

"Celerion Wind Spirit Escorts a Delegation of -Noble Aspects- Returning from Secret Talks with Rebel Allies in the Fifth Age of the Earth" , by Erik, April 2009
Lolindir, Marshall of Peredhelian/Celerion allied forces in rebellion against mortal hatred and destruction on Earth has received a message from the monks at rn'Styre. The messages summarize the monks' conference with the Oracles at Chapel Volonese. They were unable to gain clarity from the oracles as to the outcome of the rebellion. Feeling that the oraii were intentionally circuitous in responding to questions, they construe this to mean that the rebel alliance might not succeed in their determination to restore love beauty to wealth and power in the West. The monks send Lolindir their impression of the meeting and urge him to sue for an early peace with the mortals. They also send a similar message to the mortal chiefs who in turn send a secret delegation to Lolindir to explore an end to the conflict. Both travel underground through the Stygian channel used by the dead to take up sleep at os'Chao before their ultimate fate is decided upon.
The secret meeting produces no clear result. The delegation is escorted back through the channel without concluding a truce. Though Lolindir is faced with a the potential for an indeterminately long conflict with the mortals he does not accept the interpretation of the monks. The mortals have amassed huge armies that threaten to flank and destroy rebel positions. Lolindir is ever mindful of prophesy that mandated the Peredhel subdue mortal influence and power in the West without shedding blood. It takes all of his discipline and faith in prophesy not to attack the encircling mortal armies, rout and slay them as he has power to do. In spite of his many petitions laid before the Oracles at Chapel Volonese to give guidance as to how he might subdue the mortals without shedding their blood, the Chapel has been silent. Thus is the spirit of Lolindir is troubled and weakening. He is conflicted between his faith in prophesy and the image of the slaughter of his forces by the encircling mortals. He needs a solution to this demand for a bloodless coupe.

"Celerion Wind Spirit Directs the Delegation of Noble Aspects to Western Portal #7 in the 5th Age of the Earth", by Erik, May 2009
After the failure of a secret meeting between the Mortals and the Peredhelian-Celerion alliance to yield clarity of terms of a truce, the mortals are escorted from the underground region of os'Chao where the dead refresh themselves and rest until their fate is decided upon. The Rebellion of the Alliance against mortal hate and indifference shall continue. The Peredhel, under orders from the Second Oracle at Chapel Volonese not to shed mortal blood, have been granted permission to create the "Blue Stones of Sound". During the secret talks, the mortals surreptitiously launched an attack upon the Celerion armory at rn'Mhrmnth where the stones were housed. The stones are the secret to Peredhelian victory without bloodshed.

"Blue Stones of Sound are Hidden Behind Crystal Formations at os'Chao thus Bringing Song to the Departed, in the Fifth Age of the Earth", by Erik May 2009
The Blue Stones of Sound will be the primary weapon of the Peredhel in their rebellion against mortal hatred, greed and indifference. The stones are said to produce music so enchanting, so ethereal that the listener is disarmed and disabled as throughly as were those that heard the songs of the Sirens encountered by Ulysses. The stones, like the Gray Sword warriors have the ability to peer into the "heart song" of mortals and adjust their notes for maximum affect on the listener. At the first note the hearer is enthralled and captured. He is placed under a condition like unto day dreaming and is restricted to that state for 50 years. The melody remains in his head for that length of time.
The Blue Stones by themselves are inoperable. They are triggered by a fifth stone. The Second Oracle at Chapel Volonese has not yet revealed to Lolindir how to construct this master stone. It is said to have attributes powerful enough to dry up oceans and rivers, bar rain, and vacate the snows of the north regions of Earth. The fifth stone has a great thirst that must be tamed.
The Blue Stones were rescued from an attack of the Armory at rn'Mhrmnth. Here they are transported to safe keeping in the underground region of os'Chao. Though their sounds cannot be heard by mortals without the governance of the fifth stone, the departed who dwell at os'Chao are able to hear the low frequencies and are soothed thereby. At os'Chao the stones shall remain until retrieved by Lolindir to be used in the Rebellion of the Peredhel. Of this retrieval and of Lolindir's adventurous trek through the caverns to the lavender grass fields at os'Chao we shall speak latter.

The utility of the four stones is without value unless joined by and commanded by the 5th. The four stones have never seen their captain nor does anyone know the captain's whereabouts. After listening to the stones, these "Gray Sword" warriors and mystics begin a search for the 5th Stone of Sound.

"Blue Stones of Sound Observe the Birthing of the Fifth Stone From the Tail of Comet Aswenryl in the Fifth Age of the Earth" by Erik, 18 Nov. 2009
The Peredhel (Half-Elven, half Human descendants of the Elven peoples) have rebelled against mortal hatred and indifference in the West. The rebellion must be won however without the Peredhel shedding blood. Lolindir, chief of the Peredhel clan and commander of rebel forces was ordered by the Second Oracle at Chapel Volonese to create four “Blue Stones of Sound” from the clay of the Earth, the blue waters of the Caribbean sea, the feathers of a Lark, the white sand of St. James and the light of star Earendel. He is not told of the special powers the stones will have nor of their usefulness in the rebellion of the Peredhel. He is only told that the fullness of the stones can only be realized if a fifth stone is found. The Oraii had foretold that the fifth stone shall not be of Earth or Celeria but of the "traveling cold".
The 5th Stone of Sound was born inside the tail of comet Aswenryl. Lolindir, Chief of the Gray Swords and Marshall of Elven forces of beauty and love saw infinite numbers of strange creatures, heavenly angels, and evil spirits gathered around the coment to observe the wonderous birth. The stone was pink. Its nature was a marvelous combination of the beautiful and divine white light seen by souls as they depart Earth and the deep red blood of life. Its destiny was to command the four Blue Stones of Sound used by the Half-Elven in the Rebellion of the Half-Elven against mortal hatred and indiference in the outer most edge of the West.

Manifestations of mortals have learned of the appearance of a Fifth Stone of Sound that has the power to control the first four blue stones. They have heard rumor that the stones are the key to Peredhelian victory in their rebellion against mortal hate and indifference in the West. The Peredhel seek to diminish mortal power and suplant it with Elven beauty, love, and compassion, in the West. Quietly the manifestations enter the Kingdom of Celeria and search for the fifth stone. It is their hope to destroy it. The fifth stone was born from the tail of comet Aswenryl. The manifestations avoid detection by Celerion patrols.

"The 1st Vision of Infant Dhans Oeikten Concerning the Blue Stones Taking Refuge in the Lower North Ice Region", by Erik Dec 2009
In the Kingdom of Celeria, the memory of the infant child Dhans Oeikten had been forgotten. The child was born to peasant farmers in the n'Narthyl valley during the Third Age of the Earth.At birth five stars were seen to converge onto another and consume it. At the age of 18 months the child astonished the village with speech. It was always prophetic. She foretold of the battle of Ahmaryl that took place in the Fifth age of the Earth, the defeat of the Celerion Lord of Hate, and an an alliance between Celeria and the "Half-Ones" of Earth. She foretold of "Blue Songs" that would exalt the Half-Ones in the West Lands of Earth. This prophesy was given only in part. Its other half was ordered by the child to be sealed by the Gray Sword warriors and never revealed until "five golden spheres conceive rational good in the West."
The child passed into os'Chao at the age of 20 months to await her reassigment to another world. For hundreds of thousand of years the great minds of both Celeria and Earth have pondered the meaning of 'rational good' and of how it may be achieved. It was in the Fifth Age of the Earth that one particular Half-One (half Elven, half Human or Peredhel as they were called) was given instructed by the Second Oracle at Chapel Volonese in the Kingdom of Celeria as to the meaning of 'rational good'. Lolindir was his name. The Oracle has not however instructed him or Dhans Oeikten as to how to bring about rational good, or what a society would resemble if it were so infused.
There were other prophesies of the infant Dhans Oeikten. They were recorded by the Gray Swords and kept in vaults under Chapel Volonese. Only the three oracles knew of their existence as well as the Duchess of Lent and the now deceased Lord Harcourt Bartlin. The prophesies predict ether the victory or defeat of the Peredhelian rebellion against mortal hate and indifference in the Fifth Age. The Oraii are the guardians of the secret books. The oraii have chosen Lolindir as student.

"Third Vision of the Infant Dhans Oeikten Concerning the Escape of Wind Spirit Lithlin from os'Chao in the Fifth Age of the Earth", by Erik 26 Feb. 2010
The now departed Dhans Oeikten, journeyed to the Undying Lands after reaching the
age of 20 months. The child was born with the gift of speech and prophesy and had accomplished 5 visions before passing. Though Celerion by birth she stayed in the caverns at os'Chao for only a brief time and was thereafter invited to the Undying Lands past the edge of the of Earth where she joined the Elven. Of the five visions only three had been shared with the Half -Elven through the dreams of the Oraii at Volonese.
Lolindir of the Peredhel Clan was chosen by the Oraii to know the meaning of the 3rd vision. He had not yet been given the meanings of the other four. Each time he reflected on the 3rd he saw the sky darken and shed tears followed by the receding of shadow and the opening up of heaven. He could see beings of another world and sense 'rational good' from a bright light. He saw faces smiling at him and hands held up, palms facing. He thought this a greeting but discerned they were a warning that he was not yet to join them but remain in Earth City for a time yet. Suddenly a bright yellow and orange orb enveloped in a white gown appeared. It was the Celerion Wind Spirit whose name was
Lithlin. Lolindir heard its thoughts. "I see you Lolindir, Chief of the Half-ones. I, Lithlin was captured by Mortminith, dragon friend of the mortals and taken to os'Chao where chained to stone walls I was left to languish. Yet all mortal works are but for a time. My term in os'Chao did not exceed 100 years. A beam of red light appeared and severed the chains that bound me. By stealth, I made my way past the dead and to the 7th Portal of Light. I escaped and was transported to the Undying Lands of the Elven tribes. I carry a message of the Oracles for you.",

All disappeared and Lolindir reflected upon the puzzling verse of the Oraii. Lithlin kept towards the Undying Lands to seek aid in the Peredhelian rebellion against mortal hate. Unknown to either, Lithlin and Lolindir had not seen the last of each other. Their fates were interwoven in both peril and fortune. Lolindir returned to his clan camped along the sweet waters of rn'Baeyrn.

"Tree Xndhardunsil Speaks of the Horors of Survival in the Dark Waterless Caves of Brendhun after the Battle of Vamaryl", by Erik , Jan 2011
The 7th Portal, together with Celerion Life Crystals and their companion Wind Spirit listen as tree Xndhardunsil recounts the story of how trees escaping the carnage at Vamaryl forest survived without light and water in the caves of Brendhun mountain for six years. The wind had always enjoyed dancing with the leaves of Vamaryl trees and bringing them news of events in far away places. But now, hiding, they shed their leaves so that the winds might not rustle them and make noise. News still traveled on infrequent gust of wind. Hearing that their king, Tree Xarsil, had survived and was now in the camp of Lolindir, the suffering cave dwellers made their way down the mountain and over stony desert to Lolindir's camp. They arrived weak, malnourished and dehydrated and were attended to by Xarsil himself. They meet one hundred others that survived the purging at Vamaryl by the Celerion Lord of Hate. They swore oath to Lolindir and the Half-Elven that they were committed to the Rebellion of the Peredhel who were fighting to infuse beauty and love to wealth and power in the Blessed West lands. They offered Lolindir much wise counsel gained by their centuries of living and their experience surviving at Brendhun. The Half-Elven were joyful that their ranks were daily being filled by peoples of beauty and love that had suffered offense to love's purity. And now even nature had become an ally. It was now only left to Lolindir that he gain the confidence of the Celerion Life Crystals who were able to foresee the actions of any living thing and re-shape the contour of mountains, river beds, and mountain peaks.
The armies of Lolindir were nearing preparation to occupy the outer edge of the West and by their living example, remind the mortals of the Golden Realm that they should return to their destiny, the demonstration of wealth, power, compassion and liberty. It was given only to the West that such keys should be held and guarded. Though the West had strayed from this path and had relinquished much of its resolve and strength. Lolindir's mission included encouraging them and helping them reclaim courage and stand firm against the misguided evil ones from the East and South.

"Lolindir Sings to the Stormy Skies of Celeria Declaring Victory at Mount Ah'Luthlena in the Fifth Age of the Earth", by Erik 20 Aug. 2012
i was a child of starlight without a night sky
i was imprisoned by the blackest of clouds
i am at war with the melancholy of my soul
i fought demons of hatred and lost
i fought the blessings of love and won
i walk the surface of the sun

"The Artist Paints a Declaration Upon the Raging Sky of Celeria in the Fifth Age of the
Earth". by Erik Aug. 2012
i am the dead bathed in the glory of life
i shed tears falling on the brow of a duchess
i am the beauty, the justice, returned to stand with the trees
now, at the twilight of misery
now, at the rebirth of tranquility
now, when the sun remains high
now, as i dwell in the complex of the West
i am become the object of your love
