Bran the Drum, the Bard King, is the god of music. A companion of Kitlin Fishtaker since the beginning of time, the Songmaster imbued Krynn’s first creatures with the lyric and untamed melody of his immortal soul.
The Bard King's music is the song of all living souls. His melodies evoke undeniable passion in every listener’s ear. His music dwells to some extent in every creature of Krynn. Some even say that all hearts beat in time to the mysterious melodies.
Like all bards, Bard the Drum loves music, singing, dancing, and merriment. He fills his days with quick-witted jokes, clever ruses, and songs to suit every occasion. Through music and art, he hopes to repair the wounded spirits of Ansalon’s folk, encouraging them to rebuild their world. To this end, much of his time is spent recruiting singers and storytellers to spread the news about the victories won by the Heroes of the Lance.

Duties of the Priesthood

Bran the Drum's priests must compose a song, write a poem, or create a dance once every season. Once during a priest’s life, he must create a masterpiece dedicated to the Bard King. This masterpiece must take years to create and represent the full flower of the priest's ability. It may be a song, poem, dance, work of art, practical joke, or tall tale.
