Ritual Stagecraft
Light is shaped into wards, smoke into portals, and silence into the held breath before the encantation.
Aryn Wylde
Aryn Wylde is a shadow-worshiping order who share the stage with towering beasts summoned by rite. Every gathering is a living ceremony; each chorus is an encantation that feeds the creatures in the dark.
The Veil of Aryn Wylde
On a night without moonlight, the silhouettes called to the dark and three ancient beasts answered. A wyrm, a stag, and a siren stepped out of the smoke, taking shape as instruments forged from shadow.
The pact is simple: the beasts lend their thunder, and the order carries their names in every song. The congregation completes the spell - each chorus is a shared sigil etched into the night.
The rites unfold in three movements: Invocation (smoke and salt to open the veil), Binding (rhythm and breath to steer the beasts), and Offering (voices raised until the creatures feed and fall still). Every city becomes a temporary altar; every stage is a doorway.
Relics of the cult travel with us: bone charms from the wyrm, antler ash from the stag, and black glass from the siren's last breath. They crackle in the speakers whenever the veil thins.
"We play in silhouette so the beasts may be seen. We sing in unison so the shadow may remember."
Vigil. Reverence. No names spoken in full under the open sky.
How the Shadows Perform
Light is shaped into wards, smoke into portals, and silence into the held breath before the encantation.
The wyrm bends into bass, the stag pounds out the drums, the siren becomes a violin made of mist.
Every chorus is a vow the congregation completes, sealing the pact for one more night.
The Encantations
A hymn for the siren - soft until it blooms into thunder.
The wyrm awakens, coiling the room in low-end shadow.
An anthem for the veil, sung in silhouettes and smoke.
A fevered vigil recorded under a waning moon. The beast slept for two days after this rite; the crowd did not.
Sung as a ward against the siren's hunger. The refrain seals the circle and draws the beast back behind the veil.
