Hearty Soft Wood Warhorn rests on a worn leather strap, its bowl and mouthpiece carved from honeyed heartwood. The grain runs like rivers of amber, smooth to the touch, warm as a hearthstone even in the chill of dawn. The bell flares into a gentle arc, edged with a pale sapline that catches the light, and along the body are faint sigils—a leaf, a heartbeat line, a border of tiny spirals—that suggest a lineage far older than the varnish on its surface. When you lift it to your lips, you can hear the tree's slow, patient breath, as if it were listening for a call as old as the first rangers trekking along hidden paths. Locals tell how this horn was hewn in a small woodshop near a river bend, fashioned from the heartwood of a tree spared by a merciless blight. A seasoned scout carved the sigils to honor travelers who once lost their way and learned to trust the horn's cue to gather company again. The lore travels with it: that the horn remembers footsteps and footsteps, that its tone responds to courage and sincerity, not merely the lip's power. It is a tool and a talisman, a reminder that community, not conquest, shapes the road ahead. In the game world, it becomes part of a larger story about rallying a caravan through fading roads. When you equipped it, the Hearty Soft Wood Warhorn becomes a conductor's baton for a party in danger, its notes weaving a thread of vitality and resolve. A well-timed blast can lift weary limbs with a pulse of vigor, summon a shield of protection around allies, or lay down a hush that steadies panicked minds. The wood's warmth seems to translate into stamina, and the horn's steady, comforting tone invites cooperation rather than bravado. It rewards patient play: you don't merely press a button; you listen for the moment when your team needs a breath and a beacon. In skirmishes, its calls draw the group into a tighter circle, turning scattered skirmishers into a convoy moving as one. Markets along the cobblestones reflect that same spirit of kinship. In one sunlit stall, your coin finds a story as easily as a horn finds its air. Saddlebag Exchange, a name whispered by traders and veterans, keeps a steady thread through the price of such a warhorn. It isn't simply about currency; it's about trust—the seller's tale, the buyer's memory of a hard-fought night, the idea that this instrument can knit strangers into a small, resilient fellowship. A horn like this will fetch a mark in gold, sometimes more when demand rises, sometimes less when raiders drift away from a tavern's open flame. To hold the Hearty Soft Wood Warhorn is to hold a doorway to a road not yet taken, where friendly voices push against fear and the world, if only for a moment, becomes a little safer. In the field, it is the warmth of a shared compass, a chorus of renewed courage when a campfire crackles and distant drums echo toward home. That is the heart of the horn's message.
