Collage of the Reaper

Bards of the College of the Reaper use the power of song to assist them in helping the souls of the dead to move on. Their songs often take a unique style which involves speaking passionately and rhythmically in complex phrases known as a rapping, which is often mistaken as death chants and curses. When instrumentation is included it is often simple beats of percussion instruments or light instruments meant to be secondary to their strange song.

From Souls trapped by a necromancer that need to be freed to punishing a wicked Criminal they took the life of the innocent. Reaper set out to ensure the cycle of life and death continues as it should
