Introduction: Heavenly Strings
The angelic chorus opened the show and left the stage as if they were hovering over the floor. Their soft movement made the apparition of the string player to not be noticed by anyone; except for the most attentive, perhaps. Dignitaries, heads of state and members from the most famed clubs, like the Headhunter’s or the Seafarer’s Guild, joined common workers, enthusiasts and fans in holding their breath in anticipation. The few that had had the pleasure of hearing her before were already mourning that the show would eventually end. The ones that were seeing her for the first time had listened in awe at the frantic tall tales about her skill yet were smitten by the reverence held. They would’ve never thought that she could reach higher than their wildest dreams.
With the simple flick of a string it started. Each chord seduced the ears and the delicate dance of her fingers on the guqin hypnotised the spectators. The melody ascended and quickened, then reached a plateau from which it returned only to get back to the crescendo until it finally exploded with defiant splendour. That was the first piece. Many more followed and the consensus was that they refused explanation. The most critical of critics had tried to analyse her heavenly grace only to admit in defeat that it was music which transcended this plane. She was able to bring people with her to another existence and experience the world from a wholly different perspective. Everyone whom heard her music was forever changed with a new perspective with which to see the world.
Once the concert had ended palms were bruised with thunderous and desperate clapping. How to express such satisfaction? How to thank this unique gift? The simplest of gestures was always the most effective. They stood up and kept clapping until their arms tired and their hands ached. She stood in silence, bowing from time to time, until the audience finally realised that it would be wise to let her rest. It was the most difficult part of the night, the wait. Nobody really wanted to go. Whoever was there always left with a melancholy for what had been. It could only be quenched by returning to another of her concerts. She was merciful they said. There would be another next week and the same after that as long as people needed her songs. What use is to hold the key to paradise and not use it?

In Guqin Sona’s cons, shouldn’t it be more appropriate to say “No new particles”? Also, what about animations? There are none new either.
Also, “stylish style” doesn’t sound like the most creative pro.
Lastly, umm… why is that the old abomination of a splash art for Rammus.
You’re right, we should specify that the new model and sounds are the only changes more clearly. Indeed, stylish style seems cacophonous and not very helpful we’ll find a better way to indicate that it has the, ahem, stylish style of Pirates of the Caribbean.
We’re a bit delayed with the splash art update, we have hundreds to reassess. Fortunately, we’ll get to them as they seem to have eased on the changes; though they still are coming. We always prioritise reviews of new content so the splash art update sometimes has to wait but we’ll get to finish it all, eventually.
