Royal War Horns

All men are heartened at the horn's blast, and harken to its clarion call.

The use of instruments to direct battles was long part of the Celtic military tradition. In mid to late antiquity, the Celts used the 'carnyx', which was a bronze, wide-mouthed trumpet fashioned in the style of an animal's head crying out. The trumpet was used to rally allies and intimidate enemies in equal measure. There were many variations of this instrument used across the ancient world: the Ebdanians of Hibernia used hollowed-out bull horns, and the Picti and Caledonii used early versions of what would later be called bagpipes. The inhuman sound of these horns and pipes had an unsettling effect on the Romans, who could hear the dreaded Celtic army coming, but not yet see them.
