__TOC__
==Overview==
Milil is the god of poetry, song, creativity, and inspiration. It is not a surprise at all that a band of priests got together and declared themselves loresingers of Milil. The loresingers specialize in storytelling, or to be more exact, storysinging.
Most loresingers are indistinguishable from bards, hardly surprising since there are many bards who worship Milil. Milil is considered subordinate to Oghma the Binder, the patron god of the bards. Aside from some competitiveness, especially from the sects of Oghma, the faiths are allied.
==Description==
When performing, loresingers wear billowy white shirts with puffy sleeves, and either green or tan tights. Each loresinger has a short crimson cape with embroidered golden dragons cavorting up and down the length of the rich fabric. In a concession to the dangers of the road, many loresingers wear leather armor while traveling. Of course, they do their best to make the armor blend in with their other clothes. Favored weapons of the loresingers are the rapier and the main-gauche.
==Role-Playing==
Singing and storytelling, and combinations of the two whenever possible, are at the center of every loresinger's life. In fact, loresingers define everything, including life itself, in terms of songs and stories.
Whereas "normal" bards are equal parts rogue, performer, musician, and news-bearer, loresingers have a more romanticized idea about their roles in the Realms. They believe Milil intends the loresingers to be sensitive storytellers with sweet voices and vast fonts of creative inspiration. A loresinger's performance should, in their minds, invoke the dreams of the humble people of the Realms and motivate them all to do greater things.
==Special Abilities==
Along with his priestly abilities, a loresinger has all the special skills of a bard except for additional spells. However, loresingers cannot turn undead.
Loresingers can use the local history proficiency in order to come up with a story that will appeal directly to the natives of the area he is currently visiting.
==Special Disadvantages==
If a loresinger ever loses his voice (a silence spell, a gag over his mouth, etc.), he must make a saving throw vs spell or suffer the effects of a fear spell until his voice returns.
Loresingers cannot turn undead, nor can they cast priest spells from the Combat sphere.
: "Gods above, who writes this stuff? Loresingers are so pretentious and they get so overwrought when the least little thing goes wrong! I know that my lord and god Oghma is on good terms with their patron Milil, but this whole description is over-romanticized nonsense. No one, and I do mean no one, can entertain us well us a bard, and that goes double for those over-sensitive, preening sissies called Loresingers!"
