Music is found all throughout Middle-Earth. From Bilbo's party, to Gondorian minstrels, to Orcish chanting, there seems to be a lot of music and musical instruments. Various instruments could be crafted on a regular crafting table, such as flutes, harps, drums, lutes, and so on. Some would exclusive to certain faction crafting table, like Olug-Hai drums. Instruments would have two major uses. The first use would be to increase alignment. Certain factions would like certain instruments, like harps for elves. When you play music for members of the faction you are trying to get to like you, your alignment with that faction would go up. However, you would have to play songs from sheet music. Aside from being traded for, you would also be able to write your own music. When you right click with the instrument, you would choose your sheet music, and then press buttons on the screen for different notes. The second use would be for use in battle. Playing an instrument would give your troops increased moral, and possibly another stat. For example, drums would increase your soldiers' speed and harps would grant mild regen. However, if you don't want to play an instrument during battle, you could hire musicians from commanders. Different factions would have different musicians, like troll drummers, hobbit floutists, Gondorian minstrels, and dwarven horn blowers.
