'''The Lyre of Orpheus''' is the [[Bard|Troubador/Bard]] [[quest artifact]] in [[dNetHack]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. It is the prize for completing [[Bard quest|the role's quest]], and is [[neutral]] for [[wish]]ing purposes. Its [[base item]] type is a [[magic harp]] made of [[Gold (material)|gold]] in dNetHack and a [[wooden harp]] in SlashTHEM.

==Description==
The effects of The Lyre of Orpheus vary slightly between variants.

===dNetHack===
While carried, The Lyre of Orpheus grants [[magic resistance]]; it additionally allows all pets on the same level as you to automatically [[follow]] you to other levels, regardless of their location.

Applying The Lyre of Orpheus while it has charges works as with a normal magic harp, taming monsters in a certain range around you, and it can be used to play any song for [[musicalize spell]]s. When [[invoked]], The Lyre of Orpheus acts as an uncursed [[scroll of taming]], taming monsters in a selected direction. Applying or invoking The Lyre also gives a random [[rumor]] dependent on its [[beatitude]]: the rumor will be true if The Lyre is blessed, false if cursed, and can be either if uncursed.

===SlashTHEM===
In SlashTHEM, The Lyre of Orpheus still grants magic resistance while carried, though it has no other effects. Applying The Lyre of Orpheus allows you to play music, and can be used to play any song for musicalize spells. When invoked, The Lyre of Orpheus acts as an uncursed scroll of taming, which tames monsters more akin to the scroll from vanilla ''[[NetHack]]''.
