Description
The Song of the Noonday Sun allows the user to perform ceremonies dedicated to Pride. These are often made in the form of brass instruments - horns and trumpets especially. The metal used to create them is infused with orichalcum and polished with tempest jade with dragonbone decorations or keys. A more traditional artisan may make the instrument from the horn of a mighty beast, inlaid with dragonbone and with an orichalcum mouthpiece.
The loud, resounding tones a musician coaxes from these powerful instruments stirs the heart of the audience, filling them with pride and confidence. Often, only a few notes are needed to draw up the power of the instrument. A Song of the Noonday Sun is often employed by soldiers to greet the dawn and the dusk, and to sound the mournful dirge at a warrior's funeral. In Wintermark and Highguard particularly there is a belief that notes played on this instrument at twilight are audible to the dead; a reminder of what they gave their lives for and an assurance that their deeds are never forgotten.
This instrument is equally valuable to a priest who is dedicated to one of the other six virtues as it is to a priest who is dedicated to none of the virtues - a priest of the Way. Indeed, in some ways it is more useful to the latter philosophy of priest - it allows them to use the ceremonies of anointing, consecration and hallowing; without an instrument such as this, they would be restricted to supporting other priests in creating these auras. Likewise, a priest dedicated to a virtue other than pride can partake of a little of the versatility of the priest dedicated to the Way as a whole, aiding priests in the creation of an aura as if they shared their dedication.
In Wintermark, Pride is represented by Feresh, Rune of Majesty.
