Silver Gate
Description
Inspiring Refrain allows the user to perform ceremonies dedicated to Ambition. Unlike many other magical instruments, which are often chosen for their simplicity, an inspiring refrain is often an expensive instrument that requires considerable skill to play - stringed instruments are especially popular. The Inspiring Refrain is often used by talented priests of the League - being able to create an aura that encourages ambition is a useful arrow in the quiver of any bishop. Likewise, a Dawnish troubadour dedicated to one of the other virtues may value the ability to anoint a questing knight or knight-errant with the Clear Path or the Calling.
In Wintermark, ambition is represented by Naeve, Rune of Hunger.
