The Harpers, also known as the "Heralds of Milil," are a loosely organised group of bards, troubadours, singers, and adventurers who worship the deity Milil, the Lord of Songs. They are dedicated to spreading music and storytelling throughout Runetalras, and believe that music and tales have the power to bring joy and inspiration to people's lives. Many Harpers are also skilled in various forms of performance, such as singing, dancing, and acting, and use these skills to entertain and inspire others. The Harpers believe that the greatest stories and songs come from those who have lived them, and as such many of them take up adventuring, or at least travel with adventurers, in order to chronicle their deeds and experiences. This has led to many Harpers becoming accomplished adventurers and fighters, as they need to be able to protect themselves and their companions while out on the road. The Harpers also have a strong tradition of preserving and passing down the stories, songs, and knowledge of the past. They believe that it is their duty to ensure that the greatest tales of Runetalras are not lost to future generations. They also view it as their responsibility to use their talents to inspire and uplift others, to bring hope and light to those in need. The Harpers have no central organisation or hierarchy, and membership is open to anyone who shares their values and passion for music and storytelling. They often gather at inns, taverns, and other places of entertainment to share stories and songs, and to plan their next adventures.
