==Using a Musical Instrument==
Music has the power to create powerful emotional responses in listeners. These [[magic items]] allow a [[dedication|dedicated]] character to use music to empower the [[dedication]] skill to create a connection between the power of a [[consecration|consecrated]] area and their listeners, inspiring and revitalising them in the process. The priest and their instrument serves as a conduit, enhancing the profound rolepalying effects of a suitable aura of consecration.
 
Using one of these items requires a period of [[appropriate roleplaying]] which includes playing the musical instrument. It is not a requirement that the entire period of roleplaying consist solely of playing the instrument - it is acceptable to intersperse the performance with other forms of religious roleplaying - but the focus should be on the musical performance.
 
To have their hero points restored, a character must be in the consecrated area for the full period. This ability ''cannot'' restore hero points to someone who has lost the ability to regain hero points overnight - most obviously it will not help anyone subject to a [[curse]] such as [[Dreamscape of the Endless Hunt]].
 
These magic items are explicitly intended to be used in safe situations. They will not work on a battlefield, or on a quest unless you are specifically instructed otherwise by a referee.
 
==Other Musical Instruments==
There are several other musical instruments known to exist that are not available to Imperial [[Crafting skills#Artisans|artisans]]. In each case, they draw on the power of [[malign spiritual presences]] rather than Virtues, and their creation, possession, and use within the Empire is a serious crime. The three best known examples of these instruments are known as the ''Drums of Strife'', ''Chains of Madness'', and ''Horns of Fear''.
 
===Drums of Strife===
Also called ''Drums of Strength'', these musical instruments were known to be used by some pre-Imperial [[Highguard|Highborn]] chapters. These wicked chapters used them to whip their members up into a violent frenzy of hatred directed at anyone who was seen as an outsider. Their use was disavowed, and all known examples destroyed, during the foundation of the Way.
 
===Chains of Madness===
Sometimes called a ''Clarion's Call'', the Chains of Madness were musical instruments used by the traitorous [[briar|briars]] during the [[Freedom_Heresy]. They took the form of stringed instruments, generally a guitar or mandolin, and were used by [[Dawn|Dawnish]] rabble-rousers in service of Anarchy. According to witnesses, it was typical for the heretic using one of these items to sing while playing - generally songs intended to inspire destruction and chaos. It is believed a few may be in the hands of the [[Druj]] orcs who destroyed [[Freedom_Heresy#The fall of Montane|Montane]], or possibly with the heretics of [[The_Barrens#Hope.27s_Rest|Dourfell Keep]].
 
===Horns of Fear===
Calld ''Horns of Justice'' by the [[Faraden]] who use them, these insidious magic items are used by priests to encourage bloody vengeance. Unlike the other two instruments, they are in regular use among the Empire's neighbours to the west. They are of primary value to Faraden warpriests rather than the more diplomatic priests who are generally sent to the Empire, but their possession is still a crime.
 
===Other Instruments===
All three of these musical instruments are of the variety that inspires a group in an appropriate area aura. There are occasional rumours of musical instruments of the variety that allow one to perform ceremonies with the power of a malign spirits, but the truth of their existence and how they might be manufactured is unknown by Imperial artisans. .
