Skald

The Skald brings colour to most any culture. Skalds are bards that have been blessed by the Mead of Poetry. This mead was made when a magical being named Kvasir was murdered by two Dvergar, and his blood was mixed with honey to produce the magical mead. It was later taken by a giant who kept it all for himself. But Odin stole it, and while flying over the realms of Yggdrasil in eagle form, some of the mead dropped down and touched some living beings. Those beings learned how to weave magical songs called Spell Songs... they go by the name of skalds. They sing battle ballads that unnerve opponents and bolster the morale of their companions... All that they need are their voices, but with instruments, they can bend and shape their magic to astound their audiences.

Role in the group: A rogue and spellcaster, the Skald is very quick, and the magical songs affect large crowds. The Spell Song magic is benevolent to allies and sows confusion in

the ranks of enemies.

Notable Skalds: Egil Skallagrimson, Kormak Ogmundarson, Vainamoinen.
