There are many ancient legends and stories about Highland bagpipes which are passed down through minstrels and oral tradition, and while the veracity of these claims are often debated, Blair’s Trill is one of them. One of innumerable "warpipes" being carried into battle, what sets Blair’s Trill apart is that its bearer, aptly named after him, was allegedly noted to have stood at the forefront of many-a-great battles, daring to face directly tenfold the live steel and hundredfold more the arrows hailing down on him. Blair’s Trill is thought to have seen battle in an ancient border dispute between the Anglians and the Gallovians of Clannadh Alba, but has only been rumored to by poem: “On hieland pipes, Blair’s cries / Let heard be deadly clarion.” While it has seen far too much blood in its original bearer’s lifetime, only time will tell whether it deigns to see more, especially since it was lost until now.

Appearance
Blair’s Trill is a bagpipe whose bag is fashioned from the hide of a Clannadh Craig Goat, a local animal of the region, and has four bone reeds fanned out equidistant from one another. While it had initially been the instrument of the Gallovians, during the time that it was lost in the border disputes, the chanter reed now appears with nondescript text that shimmers a glowing mauve-purple when making contact with it. Additionally, when this occurs, the bagpipe hardens and carries the unusual weight and balance a mace might have, suggesting further that Blair’s Trill had been tampered with before it was found today.

Inno can also use Blair’s Trill as if it were a normal bagpipe too.
