Harper

Morshal was a Master for musical theory in Ninth Pass.

Biography[]

Morshal was very biased against training girls as harpers, and in Dragonsinger he told Menolly:

«What is the world coming to when girls presume to be harpers and pretend to compose music!»

Morshal knew much about musical theory, but Menolly apparently knew more (Masterharper Robinton once mentioned, «He really is adept at drilling basic theory into rebellious apprentice minds. But Petiron already taught you more than Morshal knows.») and that was another reason Morshal disliked Menolly so much.

Appearance[]

He had such a high-bridged nose that he seemed to have difficulty focusing beyond it. Morshal also had a sallow complexion and greying locks tinged with yellow.
