The Symphony Unending (Also known as The Wind-That-Sings, The Voice Incandescent and The Sound Over The Wall) is a Heart-Lantern Wild God Hour created by Nephilim. He is the literal spirit of language and song, and back in the times of the Old Glory, he spoke for it.
==Description==
The Symphony is sound. It is the music of mortals, and of gods. It is the language of the Divine given form.
He is associated with birds, frogs, wind and the sea.
===History===
[WIP]
The Symphony is, quite literally, sound. He is made entirely of sound. What each person hears in his presence is different, and unique to their personality. However, it is divinity made sound, and its incomprehensible nature will slowly drive most mortals mad upon hearing it. The deaf are immune.
It can also, rarely, take visual forms. The two most common are that of a young man with the tail of a tadpole and golden skin, eyes and hair, who is dressed like an orchestra conductor, and a golden lyrebird /common coqui frog/young iridescent shark made of sparkling gilded wind. Most of the time it is simply an intangible light and song, with a flaming rune hovering within it. His speech is entirely music - Sometimes it's a single, consistent melody that changes according to his mood, sometimes it's a mild background melody and some sound effects. (Think Don't Starve characters).
===Principles===
Music, Joy, Light, Perseverance. And, to an extent, Control.

The Avian-Like Long have wings that sprout from their hips, bird talons, patches of feathers and avian tails. They are capable of flight.
The Wind-That-Sings' Longs as a collective are also often called, as a collective, simply as '''"The Choir"''' ====The Touched====The Song-Touched are not happy folk.Due to the influence that has been cast upon them, they exhibit a large range of abnormalities.They possess a greater amount of {{Aspect|Lantern}} and {{Aspect|Heart}} than any other mortal follower, but they live extremely cursed, difficult lives. They grow feathers for hair, and are only calm in the presence of music, filling their houses with clocks which tick obnoxiously and obsessively hum to control themselves. Every second, they hover on the edge of lunacy. Silence and death are one and the same. They are often possessed by the energy within them, rambling senselessly about how they can see sound and hear light. But if you can befriend one while they're lucid... They make for mighty allies. '''Lady Melody''' "Oh, sing to me. Sing to me your offerings, and my service is all yours."Lady Melody is an enigmatic Song-Touched woman who survived her Change, survived the war - And now works directly against the Hours. She desires all the riches in the Frontier. The exotic beasts, songs and treasures. her loyalty is questionable, but her power is not.Appearance-wise, she looks like a young woman, with noticeable darkness around her eyes. Her hair is long and quite wavy - perhaps even somewhat curly- with a reddish-ginger tone to it. her skin is a dark tan, and her irises a gleaming gold, without pupils, and always seem to be lost. She dresses in exotic silks, bandanas and lots of makeup and jewelry - Her style is often described as "Traditional gypsy-like, with a hint of something Arabic, and a hint of something even more occult...". Her characteristic colours are deep mystic purple, glistening gold and vermilion red.Follower Text:*Lady Melody, A Troublemaker: ''Hear not her words. her speech will devour your mind, and your will shall be as bent as her own.''*Lady Melody, A Prisoner: ''Melody no longer resists her Change. She lies on the corner of her cell, writhing, crying light. She rejects this unworthy fate, and prays it will take you all with her.''*Lady Melody, An Acquaintance: ''Melody is a simple waitress in a Breach City restaurant, yet the eldritch radiance in her eyes betrays her fortune.''*Lady Melody, A Believer: ''Melody hums to herself as she listens. She can never cease, or stay still. And yet, she is a most attentive agent.''*Lady Melody, A Disciple: ''Melody can recite every word of her latest mission briefing in three different song-formats. She dances to the invisible waltz of gold and silver.''*Lady Melody, A Conductress: ''Melody is at her most efficient. She contains her apocalyptic voice, conforming with the rhythm of her footsteps. Her commands shall never go unheard.''*First Date: ''"Come sit by my window and serenade me." She proposes. "I'll savour your voice like the finest of desserts."''*Compatible Desire: ''She skips down the roads, to the rhythm of my heartbeat. Anywhere she is, she can hear me, just as i do. We exchange our stories like old friends meeting for their fortieth first time.''*A Liaison: ''I gaze upon the many strange trinkets on her shelves. Some blessed, some cursed, some simply exotic. Sometimes i wonder if i am simply another for her collection. And even then, i don't mind.''*Victory Text: ''The days pass as they do in the Breach. But even time cannot erase the adventures of today. We sit together at the local cafe, chatting about the latest missions, catastrophes, plays, anything new under the sun. And every word we speak adds to the lyrics of our hymn of love.''
