Srath Flute

Chief among the goals of the ogres who decided to breed a new humani caste, was that they possess an inherent ability to synchronise their actions and thoughts. Srath was the first to demonstrate this kind of harmony of actions, so foreign to the mindset of the other ogres, when she played her flute to guide her brethren in a test they had been given by the high ones. Music was not an alien concept to the ogres, but their arts were limited syncopated collections of sound used as accompaniment to oral recitation. Ardgrian the red was becoming frustrated with his ministers failure to produce a caste of workers who could maintain his great civil works, without the lavish expense of the blues, and Strath's flute tune was the signal of their success.
Made originally from great reeds of the marshy plain the humani were forged in, Srath's Flute was a style of pan flute, crafted quickly and easily from the tall plants of their testing ground. Made of green reeds its tones will be very low, and if allowed to cure will rise and clear. Trimming or treatment with waxes or oils are the traditional methods of tuning the reed pipes of a Srath Flute.
Held up by the high ones as an example of what they wanted, Srath and her flute are said to be the template from which all humani descended. Legends also claim Srath and her flute were the foundation of harmony and cooperation that led humanity to rise from the lowest castes of the ogres to one of the dominant cultures of Lorgaire in their own right, free of the shackles of their makers. Veneration of the ideal represented by Srath did not end with her short humani life, and a popular argument among divine scholars is that Srath was the first humani god. Some scholars will even claim the harmony she and her flute brought into the world was the real catalyst behind the fall of the ogres power, with the humani spread across the realms of the ogres before the Great Cataclysm, or the arrival of the giants and dwarves.
