PREAMBLE ❁§0 §0 §0There exists, in every observable thing, a §4Divine Tone§0. This single tone signaled the creation of all things and still rings out from the depths of our innermost being. The §4Divine Tone§0 commands our every action, benevolent or

otherwise. Ignorant of its own will, §4The Divine Tone§0 delegates our position in the confusion of the endless expanse, our place in §4The Great Chorus§0. The Sisterhood of The Bell is tasked with urging wayward souls to consonant harmony, and therefore

happiness, with §4The Divine Tone§0.

CREATION ❁§0 §0 §0In the beginning there was §5The Silence§0, a perpetual and eternal emptiness. There was nothing, sight nor sound, from end to end of an unfathomable expanse. Though meek at first, an entity know to us as §4The Bell§0 called from within the

depths of this silence. §5The Silence§0, being nothingness incarnate, had no means to inhibit the audacious call of §4The Bell§0. With nary a sigh, §5The Silence§0 ceded its endless realm of bleak darkness to the ever-ringing cry of §4The Bell§0. The void

grew bright and cacophonus as echoes of §4The Divine Tone§0 congealed and twisted themselves into physical form, becoming §4The Great Chorus§0. From the brightest star to the smallest of creatures, all sing their part in the harmony of the §4Great Chorus.

§4The Bell§0, satisfied with the bustling life that it hung upon the eaves of nothingness, fell asleep to the §4Lullaby of Creation§.§0.§0 §0The oxeye daisy represents the proliferation of §4The Bell's§0 pure tone into the once-endless expanse of silence.

CONSONANCE &§0 §0DISSONANCE ❁§0 §0 §0Within every thing, remnants of that original call, that §4Divine Tone§0, still ring from the depths of our souls. §4The Bell§0 dreams in harmony with its children, who all sing the rapturous song of life.

It is our ability to divine and interpret meaning from our own tonal centers that determines the course of our lives. §0 §0When our intentions, our actions, and our emotions are positioned toward the furtherance of harmony, §4The Bell§0 rests easy. Our souls

and flesh respond in kind and we are filled with happiness and warmth. We become productive and capable of nurturing life.§0 §0However, when our actions are influenced by selfish material desire and disharmony with our fellow children, §T§4The Bell§0 stirs.

We feel this in the chill that creeps down our spine and in the shame that wrings our guts. In this shame, we fall to silence and isolation far from the comforting harmony of §4The Great Chorus§0.

GUIDANCE ❁§0 §0 §0It can be easy to become accustomed to the pain of dissonance. Silence becomes familiar, like a home within ourselves. The Sisterhood of the Bell has been consigned with the task of guiding discordant and ruined souls to pitch with

their §4Divine Tone§0. Through patience and gentle guidance, we guide those steeped in the darkness of silence to their place in the harmony of §4The Great Chorus§0. §0
