Skald

The Warrior Skalds of the Moonshae Isles were a group of barbarian bards that traveled alongside great warriors, composing epic poems about their exploits. They were just as renowned for their prowess as combatants as they were for their skill as orators.

Culture
Unlike other bards throughout the Realms, the Northlander skalds focused on the oratory arts rather than music. They believed their greatest possible contribution to the ages was the composition of an epic poem, detailing epic battles or military skirmishes.

Abilities
Rather than sing, warrior skalds would loudly and forcefully recite portions of an epic poem in battle, inspiring their allies and infuriating and frightening their opponents. Enemy combatants were often befuddled and disheartened upon hearing the resonating stanzas of fabled tales brought to life by the warrior skalds.
