Harpsidhe

Passing through the veil of mist, the harpist is stunned to see a thickly forested trail leading downwards to a valley and a vale with a lake.  Through bright sunlight, mist swirls up and around, first revealing, then concealing the fantastic, medieval realm below.  Before starting down the trail, the harpist tunes the harp and plays an impromptu warming-up exercise.  The music begins to change, and a light protective ward begins to shimmer around harp and player. (Warding song)

 Halfway down the mountainside, the harpist stops to observe a cloaked figure moving between meadow and trees, singing. (Within the Green Forest) (lyrics)

 As the harpist hesitates along the first street, a helpful denizen, seeing the instrument, points to a nearby pub where a music competition is taking place.  A harpist there tells a story.  (The Harpist and the Duke) (lyrics)

 The harpist leaves the pub to wander further into the realm, which seems to be equally divided between structures and forest.  At a thick grove of trees, a series of colored lights are engaged in an intricate dance. (Faery Interlude)

 The harpist stops to talk with other musicians and hears a story about a thief in Faerie. (The Thief & The Dagger of Nye) (lyrics)

 A menacing band of pixies blocks the harpist's path and demands music.  A fast song makes them dance helplessly until they stagger, exhausted, out of the way. (Dance)

 Night falls, and the harpist takes shelter behind the locked gates of a friendly household.  A wraith visits the gate and demands the householder, but cannot get in. (The Wraith) (lyrics)

 The harpist encounters a great winged being that is the Guardian of the Faerie land of Milara. (Milara)

 A friend encountered in Faerie is a muse for wandering musicians, and inspires a tune. (Michele's Theme)

 The harpist enters a beautiful piazza and asks for permission to play, which is granted.  The free gift of music is rejected, however, and the house attempts to capture and trap the harpist by offering coin.  (The Harpists' Gift) (lyrics)

 A castle of mist floating above the lake becomes solid for one night every year, and holds a revel.  The harpist is on time to observe the twinkling lights dancing over the lakeside as the reveling Hall begins to form.  First the builders appear, then the decorator, then a flurry of activity as the hosts prepare for the revel and the feast.  Just as the sun goes down, the Hall is thrown open and brightly dressed royalty file in.  The revel becomes wilder as the night progresses, with gypsies and wild fae joining in the dancing and music.    Late into the night, the revelers begin to leave.  The Hall begins to fade until nothing is left in the twilight before dawn but the twinkling, colored lights on the lake, still dancing. (The Castle on the Lake)
