Celebrant's Fiddle
Description
Rhythm of Deep Resonance allows the user to perform ceremonies dedicated to Prosperity. While it might be expected that a musical instrument connected with prosperity would appear expensive, this is actually relatively uncommon. Priests who favour this instrument, especially in the Marches or among Sutanirr, prefer a durable instrument that can be used to play quick, lively music. The Rhythm of Deep Resonance is effective at connecting to the celebratory impulse in the audience, dragging them onto the dance floor or helping them releax and enjoy their comforts.
This instrument is equally valuable to a priest who is dedicated to one of the other six virtues as it is to a priest who is dedicated to none of the virtues - a priest of the Way. Indeed, in some ways it is more useful to the latter philosophy of priest - it allows them to use the ceremonies of anointing, consecration and hallowing; without an instrument such as this, they would be restricted to supporting other priests in creating these auras. Likewise, a priest dedicated to a virtue other than prosperity can partake of a little of the versatility of the priest dedicated to the Way as a whole, aiding priests in the creation of an aura as if they shared their dedication.
in Wintermark, Prosperity is represented by Pallas, Rune of Wealth.
