Divine Domain: Metal

When the gods first created the planes, it was said that the sound of lightning and fire scorched across them, making eerie noises and sounds that some could see the potential of. Those gods took the sounds and crafted them into several instruments they wielded with such care and skill that they rocked the heavens and fell many foes that would dare harm their realms. To this day, the followers of these gods can be seen writing ballads of famous battles or the brave warriors who fought and fell as a sign of reverence for their glory.

No one knows who was the first of these clerics, but their order is few compared to the others in the land. While many often do not welcome their presence or 'noise', no one can deny how mighty these warriors can be in battle. Though these priests have no actual temple to worship their gods, this order often works alongside other well-known gods and goddesses, namely those of fire, thunder, creation, and destruction.

The instruments they carry can only be wielded by those blessed by their celestial beings to carry out their will, whether for the good of mankind or its downfall.
