  • Song of Courage is a rogue talent from the Bard specialization in Dragon Age: Origins.
  • Whenever the hero or his allies are under great odds, even seeming doomed to be destroyed by a single foe, army, or unstoppable force of nature, there's the chance that one of the main characters will give a speech or word that'll conjure the power of either an unseen choir, instrumental band or actually a character in the scene that'll rally their spirits to face their death and carry on with dignity and valor. The Song of Courage can either be heard by the characters, or it could just be ambience for the sake of the audience. Sister trope of The Song Before the Storm.

abstract
  • Whenever the hero or his allies are under great odds, even seeming doomed to be destroyed by a single foe, army, or unstoppable force of nature, there's the chance that one of the main characters will give a speech or word that'll conjure the power of either an unseen choir, instrumental band or actually a character in the scene that'll rally their spirits to face their death and carry on with dignity and valor. The heroes don't necessarily have to succeed- strictly speaking they don't even have to live past the endeavor, but the Song of Courage at least makes them look cool as they fall. The Song isn't about not going gentle into that good night- it's about triumph against the fear of death, and the people singing it may simply be awaiting their imminent deaths, knowing that trying to fight it won't help. The Song of Courage can either be heard by the characters, or it could just be ambience for the sake of the audience. Sister trope of The Song Before the Storm. Examples of Song of Courage include:
