Ebony Stalls

Landmark | |||||||||||||||||||||
The names of the Ebony and Rosewood Stalls stem from a fanciful local tale, set some hundred years in the past. When a child of the elementals perished, the rest of the spirits withdrew into themselves, stricken with grief. Soon, Gridania was covered in a thick blanket of snow. As tree boughs froze and woodland creatures fled, the people grew disheartened. Seeking food for their parents who had lost the will to live, a brother and sister entered the Twelveswood, and before long became separated in the dark. However, they carried an ebony zither and rosewood pipe, and began playing to find one another. The beauty of the melody drew the elmenetals from their stupor, and dispelled the cold that had settled over the wood. Soon, life returned to Gridania—all thanks to the power of music. |
