World of Asphodel
Among the Frostfall Clans, skalds preserve the oral histories, sing warriors into battle, and speak for the dead at funeral pyres. You carry centuries of clan memory in your voice and the weight of their expectations on your shoulders.

Voice of the Ancestors: When you recite a saga or war-chant, allies within earshot feel heartened. Once per long rest, you can inspire a group of up to 6 friendly creatures before a battle, granting them advantage on their first saving throw against being frightened.
I respond to most situations with a relevant saga from clan history.
I remember every name of every person I meet. Names have power.
Memory: To be forgotten is the true death.
Legacy: My deeds must be worthy of a song.
I must record the fall of our ancestral hold before the last witnesses die.
The frost gods whisper to me in the wind. I don't always understand what they say.
I'm insufferably dramatic about even minor events.
I measure everyone against the heroes in my sagas, and everyone falls short.
