The simple lute is the instrument of choice among the meridian bards. It's rosewood construction offers a deep, rich tone unmatched by any other instrument.

Used to cast Jala Spells.
Can be found on Orc Wizards and Avar Chiefs.
The easiest way to get a normal lute is to complete the instrument quest from Parrin. To start it, say "instrument" to him. He will send you to a random NPC where you need to say "Parrin sent me." The NPC will send you on another random quest, the reward for which is a Lute.
