Just saw this on Allakhazam's. Anyone ever seen/heard of Metalla in
Mistmoore?

Metal Music: You say, 'hail Vhalen Nostrolo'. Vhalen Nostrolo says 'Nice
to meet you. Do not the plains of Karana whistle with life. This land is
truly blessed by the gods. Would you like to hear a tune or do you pass?
You say, 'I would like to hear a tune.' Vhalen Nostrolo says 'Inside this
heart I am trapped with the sight beautiful colors, all memories of your
love They attack me with fullmight . You left me here in this garden of
grey Never to see the true colors of the happiness of day Here in my heart I
sit and I cry You have left me alone and my colors have all died . What do
you think? Is it a happy tune or a sad tune? You say, 'A sad tune, I think.'
Vhalen Nostrolo says 'It takes a broken heart to truly appreciate that tune.
I am glad you enjoyed it. My dear Metala left me one year ago. The wound has
healed , but the scar lives on. I am presently trying to complete a New
Composition. Maybe that will turn me around. You say, 'Where is Metala?'
Vhalen Nostrolo says 'My dear sweet Metala Highflit. She was a bard I
trained and fell in love with. We were perfect together. We composed many
love ballads during those years. I just love the way she used to brush the
hair away from he=r face and to see her in the moonlight brought daylight to
my soul . We had such times ! I remember once we had dinner at the lion's
Mane and we ordered a burrow pie for desert and she got some whipped cream
on her nose ! Oh it was so cute.. Am I boring
you or should I tell you where it went wrong? You say, 'Tell me where it
went wrong.' Vhalen Nostrolo says 'It was like that for years and then it
all just ended. She began to hang around some man called Garuc Anehm. She
started
attending evening functions. She said it was choir practice for the Temple
of Life. Do you want to know what I found out or am I boring you? You say,
'What did you find out?' Vhalen Nostrolo says 'Feeling neglected, I also
went to join the choir. To my shock I learned from High Priestess Jahnda
that Metala never was in the choir. When I mentioned that fellow Garuc's
name she gave me a dirty look and could talk no further. Must be boring
you. You don't want to hear the end. You say, 'I want to hear the end.'
Vhalen Nostrolo says 'I went home to confront Metala. All I found was an
empty house and a note. 'Sorry to leave. Thank you for all you have taught
me. My new friends have showed me new paths of pain. My music shall sing for
a new generation of bard. Goodbye.' I never saw her again. What ever she has
started is twisted and contorted. It is not the music of the soul. She must
surely be stopped before it is too late. Please go. I do not feel like
talking any further of this. I am not sure where you find Metala, or where
this goes, if anywhere (it might just be a statement against Heavy Metal
Music by the writer). However, I have been told, but cannot confirm, that
Metala has been spotted in Mistmoore. (Submitted by Khallin Spiritcaller)
