Whether musicians, story tellers, poets, or lore keepers At the heart of it all, bards are entertainers. A true bard often needs no other reason to seek adventure and danger then the promise of a grand tale; for bards find their wealth in the retelling of these tall tales and wild heroics. Stories that move the heart, and inspire courage; scare the children, or impart a lasting wisdom. These are the bards trademark, and such tales make bards a welcome sight, from the lowest taverns to the most lavish palaces; few are ever turned away. Though a bard's tongue is often the sharpest tool they have; adept in battles of words and will. They do not shy from a fight, by any means: for where better then a battle of life and death can one draw a more fantastic tale?
