These silver and gold bagpipes are trimmed with rubies, and when played, they emit a soothing fragrance that calms those nearby. The scent causes prolonged exposure to induce drowsiness, and over time, those who hear the bagpipes for long periods may fall asleep unless they succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15). After 4 hours of exposure, creatures must make this save at the start of each hour. Attuning to these bagpipes grants the player the ability to play any song known by Piarais, the famed bard.
Songs of Piarais
When you play a song, the effect lasts until you stop playing, and the song can only be stopped mid-performance if you will it or if your concentration is broken. The songs act as a spell, requiring you to concentrate on them.
