Chant of Battle

The Drum doesn't inspire courage so much as demand it. A Bard who knows the Chant of Battle plays not to the ears but to the body — to the legs that want to move, the arms that forget to hesitate, the heartbeat that finds itself matching the rhythm before the mind notices. In combat, that's enough.
