Shroudsinger (Bard/Oracle)

Some believe there is a veil, a thin curtain that guards the way between life and death. Lying just beyond the veil, out of sight and out of touch, are spirits lost in the limbo of purgatory who aimlessly wander the afterlife. However, there is one with the power and know-how to restore these trapped souls to life, even if it is only for a few precious moments. The shroudsinger, trained in her ethereal arts, travels the lands as a simple bard while granting temporary reprieve to these spirit’s senseless existence. In return, these spirits envelope the shroudsinger in their eternal embrace, protecting her from harm and granting her extraordinary powers to further her mission of mercy.
