“The quartered image stands out in front of the single flat wall of the CastCenter lounge—four separate scenes, and each with its own message. On the upper left graze a flock of sunrams, their fleeces glittering with lights of their own. On the upper right stretch long rows of golden vines, leaves half covering the ripening grapes. On the lower left extends a grass-choked pavement. Finally, on the lower right, an aerial shot of a black-walled, black-laned community. The music wells up, subsides.... A selection from Winds of Summer. “The postulant communities of Aurore, as they present themselves to visitors, and to the universe … postulants to gods who are real, and who demonstrate their powers on an everyday basis. “Now … a first-time-ever look at the worshipers of the living gods of Aurore…” The four images fade into one—the sunspire of the temple of Apollo, which fades into the white marble of the Ethene temple, which fades into an aerial shot of the black flame in the black square of the Taurist community, and then to the closed and hammer-barred front view of the Thoradian mission under sullen clouds.MoreLessRead More Read Less
