By Markus Battarbee

Note! This is a fan contribution which has been superceded by official material.

[ReCreation, Storm, Otherworld Connection (magic)]

Drogarsi is the third child of Silonia, The Dance, and Ralforisus, The Music. He was born in the Storm Age, and his favorite songs recount the tales of mighty battles. He creates songs and poems to create bravery and pride, to prepare men to do battle and to praise their deeds afterwards. He is the mythteller of Orlanth, known as the god of poetry, battle songs, military music and wardances.

Secret: Strengthen Battlespirit (Works as a feat. Under dear circumstances can a worshipper of Drogarsi fall into a trance, recreating a great myth with song, poetry and dance. This ability can be augmented by one mundane skill only. A selected fleeing military unit the hero concentrates on, will be ashamed, entranced and inspired by the performance, and will charge straight back into battle. The resistance is the largest single [fearful / loyal to family / mythology of Crimson bat, etc. ] ability from the target group, with no penalties for additional equivelant skills or the number of warriors targeted. Usually military units of 100 men or more are beyond a single hero's power, though.)
