Reálta – A New Star Is Born

Amid the sudden pain and anguish of losing a new baby, whether by miscarriage, still birth or new born death, the question ‘What happens next?’ inevitably arises.

On December 10^th, 2012 my partner and I were thrown into that abyss of hurt, anguish and pain that comes with the loss of a new baby or pregnancy. In our case, we were almost twelve weeks pregnant as we arrived to the early scan unit of the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin for a 2:30 pm appointment. Our world was turned upside down upon the news that there was no heartbeat. Our baby had died.

As devastating as that was, we sought some comfort in the fact that unlike years gone by, nowadays there is a service where families who experience this unimaginable loss can get to celebrate (ever so briefly) the life of their new baby or pregnancy with a very personal remembrance service. In the months and years since, I have longed to find ways to commemorate and pay respects to all families who have experienced new baby/pregnancy loss of this type.

Then comes the ‘What happens next?’ question.

What happens to our new babies who are lost by miscarriage, still-birth or new born deaths? Why has life failed them? Why has God failed them?

Réalta – A New Star was born

Songs Best Left Unsung

The ancient war that plunged the once thriving civilization of Breya into terminal decline is but a fading memory now. The world, a shadow of its former self, is slowly dying, although there are very few who realise it yet alone comprehend why. The Fount – the source of life that has been feeding the world and giving powers to its Loremancers for millennia – is drying up.

The war is all but forgotten, but there remain echoes. Whispers of the long forbidden magic, the dark Lore of dreadful and cruel powers that had once fueled the vast conflict that brought Breya to its knees. Like discordant notes in a symphony, they corrupt the Fount and everyone arrogant or foolish enough to partake of their poison. Or so the Catechists teach.

However, sometimes we have no power over what we want to hear. In two very different parts of Breya, hundreds of leagues apart, unexpected Talents awaken in two unsuspecting teens who suddenly find themselves at the receiving end of the Catechists’ justice. As they flee for their lives, they will begin to discover the truth about the world and the real reasons of its demise.
