Song of Lorelei (Haven Cove Book 2)

Product Information

Still, she remained true to her man. And her loneliness and sorry made her even more attractive. More men swore to have her, and when they failed… they killed themselves. When they inspected the other rooms they discovered their great aunt Katerine dead, with signs of having been killed while fighting. [12] Lucius proposed to bury her, and Aurra suggested doing it in the woods. [13] Although Benicio protested, they ended up agreeing that the two elder siblings would take care of Katerine's body, and then rejoin the rest. Aurra and Lucius buried their elderly Aunt Kat and couldn't help but cry, since they were the closest to her; the first-born also remembered how the deceased compared her to her sister (grandmother of the siblings) Geneviève, which was what encouraged Aurra to go to the forest instead of following the family rituals.

The Moonweaver is the goddess of secret trysts in dark places.

If you attempted to research the Moon Domain, you may have found that there is not currently a 5e version available through official channels (though there are many excellent homebrew options!). Considering its existence in 3.5e and both Liam and TJ’s notable D&D experience, we presume they adapted both the lore and the mechanics for 5e to suit the faith of the man of the claw-- we mean cloth. It is possible that this is because, while his sister Aurra learned to master her animal side on her own, living many years in the forest to make up for not having undergone the Taming, Lucius focused on his work as a cleric, so perhaps he has less control in his lupine form than the rest of his siblings.

Aurra was meant to rule House Lorelei, but like many with a wilder streak in her family, to her father's chagrin she eschewed the Taming and chose to wander the wilds, forsaking civilized nobility entirely. While they still loved each other their relationship was complicated. [10] " Liam's One Shot: The Song of the Lorelei" (Sx36) [ ] In this legend, there was a beautiful maiden who lived in the city of Bacarach. Every man who saw her was dazzled by her beauty, and immediately fell madly in love with her. Alas, she had already given her heart to a young knight who went away to war, so she turned away all other advances. The despondent failed suitors threw themselves into the Rhine to drown. As a child, Lucius heard the voice of the Moonweaver whispering to him by the light of a full moon. He prayed to her nightly, and when he was old enough to make up his own mind, he followed her voice to the Temple of the Moonweaver and joined her cult, finding a second family, and leaving behind his family traditions (which made him unfit to become heir). His father respected his decision, and even adapted part of the settlement to give Lucius a place to pray. Since Sehanine is a protector of love and night trysts, Lucius had vast sexual experience working for the temple.

This is the sort of femme fatale figure: One that is somewhat exaggerated and exploited and lends a sexual connotation to a story," she told DW. History and archaeology student Katrin Kober Image: Privat Benicio: (while his siblings talk about the clues they found in the castle) Guys, you're making too much of it. There's just some bad guys out there, we're going to kill them, then we're going to have the party that I was promised. The Lorelei character, although originally imagined by Brentano, passed into German popular culture in the form described in the Heine–Silcher song and is commonly but mistakenly believed to have originated in an old folk tale. The French writer Guillaume Apollinaire took up the theme again in his poem "La Loreley", from the collection Alcools which is later cited in Symphony No. 14 (3rd movement) of Dmitri Shostakovich. The character continues to be referenced in pop culture.
