Heroes' Horn
Description
Echoes of Glory allows the user to perform ceremonies dedicated to Courage. A common form for this musical instrument is a horn or trumpet, something that can be used to sound a rousing note before a battle. Some priests, especially those of the Brass Coast, Wintermark and the Navarr like to use big, deep drums. During a ceremony, the drums are beaten with a slow rhythm that echoes a heartbeat, helping the celebrants to achieve the right mental state.
Some priests consider the common name of this instrument to be slightly heretical, and prefer to call it a Echoes of the Last Post.
Courage is represented by Jotra, Rune of Battle.
