History
The Cittern of War was crafted by a halfling instrument maker Relias Blackseed before the and blessed by priests of Arvoreen the Defender.

Gallow used The Cittern of War to her them overcome a young green dragon in 1013 DR, the event immortalized in the rollicking tune called The Fight of Green Thirteen. Copies of such instruments were wielded in battle by both churches, of Tempus and Arvoreen.
