Cult in the World Ye'Cind is the son of an avatar of Aerdrie Faenya, embodied in Celene during the years following the Olven Sundering, when the drow retreated beneath the oerth from their kingdom in Luzcidor. Self engendered, it is said that instead of crying at his birth, Ye'Cind sang. Oh, the words were muddled, to be true, but the sounds the babe made could be nothing but song. Where Aerdrie governs musical instruments (specifically wind instruments), Ye'Cind governs song (which is, in it's own way, a wind instrument of sorts). In some areas, the cults of Ye'Cind and Heward have close ties. Unlike most former Hero-Deities, Ye'Cind was taken bodily into the GodPlane at the end of his life by his mother, Aerdrie, in recognition of his years of service to the olven cause. Ye'Cind's High Holy Day is the 7th of Violets, the day of his birth. Lesser services are conducted on the first Freeday of each month, as well as occasional special days sacred to each shrine. Services are conducted indoors, in specially constructed singing halls. Priests of Ye'Cind typically wear robes of pale green, with darker green trim on collar, hem, and sleeves. Lay Membership Requirements: Ye'Cind is worshipped by bards, troubadours, minstrels, and others; olven, half-olven, and even some humans, who make their livings through song. Skills taught by the cult include Dodge, Orate, Sing, Speak Languages, Craft (musical instrument construction), Music Lore, Olven Lore, Play Instruments, Listen, and Cremony. Initiate Membership Requirements: Standard. Initiates of Ye'Cind commonly serve their communities by lightening hearts with song, teaching the young both music and singing, and by acting as couriers between olven communities. Spirit Magic: Demoralize, Ease Pain, Fanaticism, Sustain, Ye'Cind's Song (Improve Sing. Note: All of Ye'Cind's magic spells (spirit or divine) are accompanied by song, rather than the normal incantation and gesture. Priesthood Requirements: Standard. Many of the master olven bards are priests of Ye'Cind, or at the very least have studied directly under one. Virtues for Ye'Cind are Creative, Joyous, and Social. Common Divine Magic: all Special Divine Magic: City Harmony, Comfort Song (Lesser), Community, Courage. Associated Gods Aerdrie: provides Illusionary Sound Corellon: provides Chameleon Hanali: provides Comfort Song (Greater) Labelas: provides History Sehanine: provides Soothing Voice (Song) Solonor: provides Sixth Sense - -- talmeta@bellatlantic.net - I *am* one of the Chosen Few!

WOUNDART 2 Points Touch, Temporal This spell affects any single missile, adding 1d8 damage to a successful hit. The temporal nature of this spell means that it can be cast onto a missile and the spell will work once only if the missile is used any time within the spell's duration. It may be stacked with Multimissile (affecting only the first missile) or Firearrow or Speedart.
