Jala

Pupil quest

To be able to buy any songs off Parrin, you'll need to do a pupil quest:
You say, "I want to be your pupil"
Parrin Aragone tells you, "Are you truly ready to learn the magic of songs of Jala? If so you must prove your devotion to the arts. I would like you to try out your voice. Go to and sing a song. Any song you wish. Then come back to me and let me know how it went."
Do an emote by typing: "e sings." near the mentioned NPC.
tells you, "By my troth, that is awful. Did Parrin send thee? Tell him to train thy voice, "
Now return to Parrin.
You say, "Hello."
Parrin Aragone tells you, "Ah, you have returned. What did they think of your song? Good or bad?"
You say, "It has been bad."
Parrin Aragone tells you, "Oh well, we shall work on that. Now open your mind to the ways of Jala; I shall train your voice, if you are willing."

Jala is the bard's school of spells. Most of these spells take the form of songs that you play which affect all in the room. These spells can help you heal faster, regain mana, or even hinder the casting of spells. Some of the spells also help create potent magical items that duplicate spell effects. A high intellect is important for bards so that they can remember their songs better. The songs can help to regenerate mana / HP or stamina more quickly. You can fill potions and prevent spells in an area. To play the songs you need a lute (Lute, Fine Lute, True Lute), or even better a Jala collar (Necklace of Jala). Areas with water give spell bonuses to Jala and repeatedly singing the same song without singing another one in between also gives a bonus to that spell.

Jala holds the most powerful "counter" spells in Meridian:
Rijja: Truth Faren: Civility Kraanan: Concilation
Shal'ille: Profane Resonance Jala: Sacred Resonance
All Spells: Spellbane
Favored Faction: Princess Kateriina
Primary Stat: Intellect

Taught primarily by Parrin

Jala, despite changes, is still a school for either the roleplayer or the support character. For those who desire to roleplay, the usefulness of the bard should be obvious. For those willing to run the support route, Jala's songs are effective tool in any fight, whether it be PvE or PvP.
