Nasbarin
Poets and Musicians Blessed by the Gods
I have gathered you all here, for I have important news to share. Last night, Aher the Throneless came to visit my dreams, and shared a story with me. I will retreat to the Altebieat, so that I may focus on deciphering the words of my God.
The task of the Nasbarin is a holy one. They are poets, musicians and writers chosen by the gods themselves to be their heralds, and spread their words among the people. They are the artisans of myths, the smiths of legends, blessed with divine inspiration.
Oracles and Prophets
Nasbarin is not a profession one can freely choose to become. Instead, they ascend to the position after they receive their first divine dream, a sign they were chosen by the Gods. There seem to be almost no prerequisites to become a Nasbarin: no need to be a priest in a temple, or even a devout worshipper. All one needs is a creative soul and a mind that pleases the Gods.The Nasbarin are regarded as oracles and prophets, the bridge between the realm of the divine and that of the mortals. While many powerful priests and clerics might sometimes get small omens from the gods, Nasbarin are the only ones to receive such powerful dreams, and it is their duty to make them known to the world.
What an interesting position to be in, to be chosen and inspired by the gods in this way. I really like the small list of people who have been Nasbarin, and what they have created. I like that they are cared for by the temples of the gods they are chosen by.
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad to hear you liked all these elements. In some ways, Nasbarins are considered like prophets by the Saohri faith, so it would make sense they wish to keep them close.
