We don't often write about rumours and gossip, but as most of you know then The Lion's Roar - or at least me - have a big fondness for cultural content, and especially music. This has to do with music.
For awhile there has been rumours going around in the Eversong community and in Dalaran (the amount of gossip available on any given Monday in the Lounge is amazing!) - rumours that a prominent member of House Winterdawn is lying ill, perhaps even dead. A man with young golden hair.
Now usually that would not be important, but we quickly realised that the man in question is the famous musician and composer, Derenly Winterdawn.
According to sources then he contracted some mysterious disease and despite extensive attempts by friends and family then no cure has been found and rumours are that he is dead - laying in state in a glass casket in the Winterdawn estate in Eversong.
"I can't believe it, I saw him play at the Roaring Days music festival, his music will forever stand as a testament to the cultural superiority of the Sin'dorei"
Article continues after the ad.
Of course, as most who knew Derenly knows, then politics was not something he engaged much in, and he would most likely have preferred to simply be called a Thalassian. Either way, we offer our condolences to his friends and family, the community as a whole has lost a true musical talent and his compositions will be sorely missed going forward. We will leave you with a few comments from his fans.
"His music was great for making me relax, they way his fingers caressed the harp always made me doze off!"
"He represented the epitome of harp music, and his compositions will go down in history!"
"He will be back; the Light will not let something that beautiful truly die."
"His music always touched me."
