The school quickly became a gathering place for members for several [[striding\|stridings]]. The music school was strictly focused on Navarr traditions, training students in the musical traditions of that nation as well as other performing arts skills such as dancing, juggling, and fire performance.

			When the [[eternal]] known as [[Cold Sun]] sent its ''scions'' to attack the Empire in 385YE, one of its armies - the Empty Hands - [[Things_that_burn#The_Empty_Hands\|appeared in Miaren]]. All the armies of Cold Sun are drawn to places of beauty, art, and culture and this brought their devastating attention down on First Voice Glade. The grand archon of the Empty Hand itself lead the force that burned the school, and while most of the staff and students made it to safety, the structure itself was torn apart. The beautiful trees and gardens that surrounded the school were transformed into cursed stone effigies, a painful symbol of the damage being done to the heart of the Navarr nation.

			Then in Spring 386YE, Gerralt Brackensong was the subject of one of the first [[Writ of consecration\|writs of consecration]] issued by the [[Synod]]. Among the locations proposed for an [[inspirational location]] dedicated to his lift, the ruins of First Voice Glade were preeminent. Doing so would require that the school be rebuilt however, a task that took over a [[387YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Rebuild_First_Voice_Glade\|year to complete]]. Shortly before the Winter Solstice 387YE, however, a new school building was built in First Voice Glade.

			The new structure stands as a monument to the [[Pride]] Gerallt inspired in performers and storytellers across his nation. Pilgrims leave with a greater appreciation for Navarr music, and many are be inspired to celebrate and explore the songs and stories of their own people. The location also celebrates the kind of [[Watercolours_in_the_rain#With_Tomorrow_in_Mind\|celebration of culture and beauty]] the Pride assembly proposed as a response to the hateful destruction of [[Cold Sun]]. While the site remains primarily of interest to the Navarr, it also serves as a place of pilgrimage for those who have seen the things they love ruined by the forces of [[Cold Sun\|Oblivion]], providing reassurance that the beauty of the [[orc]] and human spirit can never truly be burnt away.

			The twisted petrified trees created by the scions of Cold Sun still stand in the grounds of the school, but their austerity is counterbalanced by a profusion of brightly coloured flowers and new growth trees that blossom in the surrounding areas.
