Dana Oaks - Those Who Harp

“What’s a Harper? A good question, aye – and like most good questions, it has a lot of right answers. As many, in fact, as there are Harpers… and if that’s too cute of an observation for your liking, then you have my condolences. A mind so closed can only find life a small, sad cage.” –Unknown

The Harpers are difficult to describe – we are men and women that above all, wish to see the realm and beings free to live happy and fulfilling lives. We fight against tyranny, the oppressors, and anyone wanting to harm or otherwise restrict someone’s freedom or right to choose their own path without fear. We believe in balance in all; between powers of the realm, reaches of the cities, the wilder lands, and the influence of one over the other.

We are ever watchful, seeking times and places to make sure the realms are better and more peaceful place for all to enjoy. Many know of us, but many know little of who we are, what we do, and how we do it – this allows us freedom to fight in places and in ways that an army or a clergy cannot.

And truth be told – each Harper is tasked with watchwords, ethics, and guidelines and follows the same path, but otherwise they are their own person and will see fit to do the highest good for all in the best way they are able. The person next to you could be a Harper, from king to commoner.

How do you join? You can visit Twilight Hall in Berdusk – though visit the Running Stag Inn first to rest your eyes and mind, for you have a long journey ahead of you. It’s possible you might run into one of us as well… and you may be tested and found worthy to Harp the Silver Strings.

Whether you wish to join or not – always remember, we will be watching.
