"Aquantio, the Tree of Song that slowly cleanses the Shadowlands"

That was my first introduction to You my most-dear friend.

In the wake of the duchess of Nereides and her son, the former-duke's disappearance a set of missives is sent out to the public.

In a way this was their first debut to the public the first major ritual such as this that they'd lead, the first such major 'action' in general.

There is a slight fear- a stage-fright to putting oneself out there like this

My dear friends- Or at least I presume you so. I have spent the last decade and some more further beyond traveling the world and making many such bonds with people who I will always remember and cherish. This time in lieu of traveling the world I invite the world to come here, instead. To where I live, This is an open invitation to come join me, to sing- dance- Be merry! To carry your hopes and dreams with you unto your shoulders into the Shadow lands for a celebration around the mirror-tree of hope. I hope to tend to the tree, to give it a concerto, to ease its burdens singing the Song of Life to sustain its siblings, to let it become the audience once-again for but a brief moment. In a way my intentions are no different than the rituals held at the tree prior to this, the reason that I am the one sending this missive, however? It's a seeming lack of interest, Former-Duke Marshal Kallione is a busy man and I cannot expect him to always have my most-dear friends' health an interests in mind... But there is another reason why I am heading this

More than a simple celebration of song and hopes and dreams I hope to bring something new to these celebrations. O' hopeful who come- Bring not only your hopes, your dreams, your song, dance or art- All are valid, all will ease Aquantio..! But bring with you stories, the hopes of those who have passed. Your most-precious memories of your most-precious.

More than a concert- This, too is a Memorial, a vigil like that of vigils' nearly two years ago- Though deaths to mourn here are not simply those lost in The Long War. Please, bring your memories, your grief, fresh or long-accepted. So that we might bask the tree in the light of Remembrance 

Or so the letter reads, one dispatched and departed by the shadow-lands-residing Faeborne

She who considers the tree almost like a 'sibling'
