Barinoth's Basses
Organized four years ago by Barinoth Basslord, a vynarian virtuoso of the string double bass, Barinoth created the best bass ensemble in the world. This group of five vynars are all travelers, playing their basses whereever they are asked. A small group, they have managed to become at least relatively well known to several of the more knowledgable of bards throughout central Caerden.  Despite the ensemble's ability, the group has an alternate agenda. They are all smugglers, taking whatever material they are asked to from place to place, all under the disguise of travelling musicians.

Barinoth's Bass: Barinoth uses a highly unique type of double bass which he personally designed. It is over three feet taller then a normal double bass, made to the height of the Vynars, and the strings are made of mithril giving it a unique sound. The back of the double bass is removable, allowing items to be stored within. The bow is hollow, with a very thin blade over a foot long inside. The back is highly interesting, for it holds an incredibly large axe blade which fits perfectly over the back. The axe blade is easily removable, and Barinoth normally has a quaterstaff-size metal pole on his back which attaches to the blade to make an axe, which seems illogically large. The axe is made out of adamantine, and extremely heavy.
