and their own overthrow of Edeyrn Marbh-draoi and all his forces; and eventually they even fall in love.
Taliesin, ArthurтАЩs foster-brother, reared with him by Ygrawn, ArthurтАЩs lady mother, becomes the
greatest bard of Keltia since the orderтАЩs founding, and himself weds ArthurтАЩs half-sister Morgan, as
mighty in sorcery as her mate in bardery or her brother in war.
But Merlynn Llwyd, teacher to Arthur and Taliesin in their youth, and the great enemy of Edeyrn, has
laid a doom on them all before his own mysterious magical vanishment; and when it is learned that
ArthurтАЩs other half-sister, MorganтАЩs twin Marguessan, has stolen away the great Cup that is known as
the Graal and is one of the Four Hallows of Keltia, a quest is launched to bring it home again.
And Arthur and Taliesin both alike must find themselves at the last upon very different quests of their
own; while Morgan out of her might as sorceress raises for Keltia a protection for all time.
Twelve musics we learn in the Star of Bards, and these the twelve:
Geantrai, the joy-song,
whose color is gold and whose shout creation;
whose number is one, and one is the number of birth.
Grdightrai, the heart-lilt,
whose color is green and whose descant rapture;
whose number is two, and two is the number of love.
Bethtrai, the fate-rann,
whose color is white and whose charge endurance;
whose number is three, and three is the number of life.
Goltrai, the grief-keen,
whose color is red and whose cadence sorrow;
whose number is four, and four is the number of death.

whose number is five, and five is the number of war.
Suantrai, the sleep-strain,
whose color is gray and whose murmur calmness;

Saiochtrai, the mage-word,
whose color is blue and whose guerdon wisdom;
whose number is seven, and seven is the number of lore.
Creachtrai, the wound-weird,

whose number is eight, and eight is the number of pain.
Fiortrai, the honor-hymn,

Dochtrai, the faith-chaunt,

Diachtrai, the soul-rune,
