Orator

You have a way with words that few can match and a voice that can carry over the loudest crowds. Your duty was to convey the messages of your lords to the common folk. Whether you were reading out the newest local events, the birth of a new heir, or a declaration of war, you always delivered your message with a voice of thunder that compelled those around to heed your words with bated breath. Trusted in your community, most took the words you spoke to be gospel, even when you’d read out your lord’s lies. These skills have proven a great boon in your travels, as wherever you speak, a crowd will gather and give weight to what you say.
