Six Songs For the Temple of Istar
Michael Williams
According to legend, the author of these songs is the
obscure Silvanesti bard Astralas, born about the time of the
Proclamation of Manifest Virtue. Well over a century old
when his voyage commenced, the elven prophet supposedly
set sail for Istar shortly before the Edict of Thought
Control, returning with a series of confused and confusing
visions of an impending disaster. He vanished under
mysterious circumstances around the time of the
Cataclysm; some say that he was destroyed by the elven
priestesses of Istar, acting in accordance with the edict.
Some also say that in the nightmare days of chaos that
followed the Cataclysm, Astralas traveled the forests of
Ansalon, forever reciting these songs. The fifth of the songs
- the account of the visions themselves - occurs in more
than a hundred oral versions throughout the continent
