About

Trumpet archons are messengers, emissaries, and storytellers-embodiments of the virtue of kindness. They use stories and allegories to prevent bloodshed, and among all archons they are the most likely to work together with angels, perhaps leading to the similarities in their forms. When diplomacy is impossible, trumpet archons rally the righteous to battle-one reassuring glance from a trumpet archon is often all it takes to instill a shaken ally with resounding courage once again.

A trumpet archon’s magical instrument is no mere piece of brass; each of these immaculately crafted horns is said to be crafted in Heaven’s blessed forges and infused with the voices of a thousand angels. Only archons can truly play such trumpets-mortals lack the power necessary to create trumpet archons’ iconic clarion calls, but can still play them as virtuoso instruments.
