	It is said that ~~there may be~~ no magic more special than the magic of ~~music~~, ~~poetry~~ and ~~song~~; the Bard, then, seeks nothing except to prove ~~these~~ sayings true. In the Realms of Terror they are ~~known as~~ storytellers, minstrels, negotiators~~, messengers~~, scouts and even spies, all greasing the wheels upon which true experiences may be witnessed, catalogued, and later performed. Like sponges Bards absorb the fabric ~~of the world around them~~, following ~~the lives of~~ the greatest heroes and most vile ~~villains~~ beyond the Misty Border. Yet Bards are ~~not always~~ open ~~books - in~~ each ~~rest~~ the secrets of Bardic spellcraft, an ancient technique working the very ~~nature~~ of reality itself through self-expression. Behind every smiling face ~~lies~~ a maestro capable of raising ~~the~~ spirits ~~of the oppressed~~ inasmuch they ~~might~~ enrapture ~~their~~ audiences for their own selfish benefit, toying with the minds of others through powerful ~~enchantments~~ and illusions.

It may be said that no magic exists more special than the magic of poetry, art and music; the Bard, then, seeks for nothing except to prove those sayings true. In the Realms of Terror they are storytellers, minstrels, negotiators, scouts and even spies, all greasing the wheels upon which true experiences may be witnessed, catalogued and later performed. Like sponges Bards absorb the world’s fabric, following the greatest heroes and villains most vile beyond the Misty Border. Yet Bards are rarely open books—in each are kept the secrets of Bardic spellcraft, an ancient technique working the very matter of reality itself through purposeful self-expression. Behind every smiling face is a maestro capable of raising spirits inasmuch as they could enrapture audiences for their own selfish benefit, toying with the minds of others through powerful enchantment and illusions. Whether a Bard rises to the responsibility inherent to their abilities is a question answered only by the performer.

	Their ~~work~~ lends ~~well~~ to travel, with Bards found around most places in the Core. [[Kartakass\|Kartakan]] Bards are especially ~~prominent~~, ~~as their cultural heritage permits~~ Kartakass as the only ~~domain in~~ the Realms of Terror ~~with recognized bardic colleges~~. As more minstrels ~~have emigrated~~ across the continent, greater premiums have been ~~placed on~~ those capable of performing ~~both~~ in their native language ~~and~~ the Kartakan-Sithican ~~dialect~~, ~~mingling the~~ harmony ~~in the former~~ with ~~the contrasting~~ sibilance ~~in the latter~~. The ~~dazzlement~~ of their audiences ~~grants~~ Bards plausible deniability in their performances, with most domain authorities tolerating all but the most flamboyant displays. ~~They are a~~ diverse lot, ~~with~~ any matter of ~~motivations~~ and principles ~~availed to~~ the individual.		Their world lends to travel, with Bards found around most cosmopolitan places across the Core. [[Kartakass\|Kartakan]] Bards are especially sought after, with Kartakass hosting the only bardic colleges anywhere inside the Realms of Terror. As more minstrels emigrate across the continent, greater premiums have been raised for those capable of performing in their native language as well as the Kartakan-Sithican patois, contrasting Kartakan harmony with Sithican sibilance. The bedazzlement of their audiences grant Bards plausible deniability in their performances, with most domain authorities tolerating all but the most flamboyant displays. A diverse lot, any matter of motivation and principles might be found in the individual Bard.

	== Bards as Adventurers ==		== Bards as Adventurers ==
	Adventure is at ~~the heart of Bards~~, for there are no ~~new songs~~ learned ~~only~~ by standing still. They may relish opportunities to practice their many skills and abilities, further their reputation, or to spread tales about those who have come before, need a champion now, or ~~are~~ needed in the future. Bards ~~often seek~~ company, joining entourages to witness deeds firsthand ~~so that~~ they ~~might~~ spin marvelous (~~perhaps~~ even embellished) versions later to new fellows ~~beyond~~. The Realms of Terror are ~~especially~~ dense with myths, legends and other threads for the ~~enterprising~~ Bard to ~~pull on - for~~ better or worse.		Adventure is where a Bard is most at home, for there are no performances learned by standing still. They may relish opportunities to practice their many skills and abilities, to further their reputation, or to spread tall tales about those who have come before, need a champion now, or may be needed in the future. Bards are predisposed to company, joining entourages so they might witness deeds firsthand as they spin marvelous (even embellished) versions later to new fellows. The Realms of Terror are dense with myths, legends and other threads for the entrepreneurial Bard to tug on—for better or worse.

	== Ideology and Alignment ==		== Ideology and Alignment ==
	Despite a reputation for whimsy ~~Bards~~ may represent any alignment, though ~~this~~ may ~~not always~~ be ~~clear~~ to those around them as they are masters of perfecting theater-like ~~personas~~ to don and doff at their leisure. Therefore a Bard who sings for peace and ~~brother~~ may be ~~really~~ a scurrilous rogue, and another who lavishes ~~the~~ praise of a government may as easily be a spy ~~for~~ any number of ~~oppositional~~ powers. The Word is a malleable art form, requiring nothing from the Bard to be practiced other than an ineffable presence and ~~inherent~~ force of personality.		Despite a reputation for individualist whimsy a Bard may represent any alignment, though their morals or ethics may be unclear to those around them as they are masters of perfecting theater-like personae to don and doff at their leisure. Therefore a Bard who sings for peace and fraternity may really be a scurrilous rogue, and another who lavishes praise onto a government may just as easily be a spy working any number of opposing powers. The Word is a malleable art form, requiring nothing from the Bard to be practiced other than an ineffable presence and force of personality.

	Organized ~~religion is~~ a stage to work unto ~~itself~~, ~~so there exists room for~~ Bards to extol ~~dogmas~~ through their art ~~from any ideoligion that they might follow~~. ~~Some~~ may cast dubious eyes on the ~~flamboyant or~~ invective nature of skilled Bards, though, ~~and~~ others ~~may~~ consider ~~such~~ gifts as the genuine article of the ~~divine~~ as ~~would~~ any other miracle.		Organized [[ideoligions]] are a stage to work unto themselves, permitting some Bards to extol dogma through their art and songs. Church-men may cast dubious eyes on the invective nature of skilled Bards, though, where others might consider these gifts as the genuine article of the Divine as any other miracle.

	== Origins ==		== Origins ==
	~~Many~~ cultures across the Prime Material train nascent Bardic ~~potential~~ in their entertainers and adventurers, with that talent ~~at times~~, either through careful cultivation or sudden crystallization, giving rise to the true Bard. Often, ~~though~~ not always, these Bards ~~find themselves in~~ the ~~apprenticeship~~ of a senior Bard ~~who~~ they ~~will~~ serve until prepared to strike out on their own. Domains beyond Kartakass ~~that~~ recognize the appeal of Bards include [[Dementlieu]], [[Richemulot]] and [[Borca]], owing to the ~~supposed~~ strength of High Mordentish culture in ~~the region~~.		Countless cultures across the Prime Material train their nascent Bardic potentials in their entertainers and adventurers with that talent, either through careful cultivation or sudden crystallization, giving rise to the true Bard. Often, through not always, these Bards come under the mentorship of a senior Bard of whom they serve until prepared to strike out on their own. Domains within the Realms of Terror beyond Kartakass which recognize the appeal of Bards include [[Dementlieu]], [[Richemulot]] and [[Borca]], owing to the strength of High Mordentish culture in those regions.

	Occasional is the congregation of Bards in informal ~~colleges~~, loose institutions seeking to ~~impart~~ the ~~rite of true music~~ to their students. It should be noted that Bardic spellcraft is ~~precisely a cultivated form~~ in the ~~Realms of Terror rather than a circumstance~~ of ~~blood, though blood may well have its due in other ways~~. Taken together the circumstances of ~~one's~~ training ~~are~~ less important than the reason why a Bard has taken to the ~~road - jealous~~ rivals and jilted authorities ~~being~~ only two of ~~countless~~ possibilities.		Occasional is the congregation of Bards into informal “colleges”, loose institutions seeking to pass on secrets of the Word to their students. It should be noted that Bardic spellcraft is as learned as it may be instinctual in the demiplane, requiring no heritage or spontaneous quirk of birth. Taken together the circumstances of one’s training is less important than the reason why a Bard has taken to the road—jealous rivals and jilted authorities only two of untold possibilities.

	== Races ==		== Races ==
	~~The~~ Bardic traditions are ~~syncretic with~~ human and ~~halfling societies~~, owing to ~~the strong sense of community and~~ adoration of the arts endemic to ~~both~~ races~~. Elves leverage their talent in music and spellcraft, allowing the career of the Bard to come naturally to them~~. Dwarves, though rigorous in their ~~appetite~~, ''do'' have organs of performance that a Bard ~~may~~ call upon, foreign as it may be for any non-Dwarven observer. Half-elves are especially prone to Bardic ~~insights~~ as a child of two worlds. Caliban Bards may begin their ~~journeys~~ as performers through tragic or unkind circumstances.		Bardic traditions are common to [[Races\|human]], halfling and elven communities, owing to adoration of the arts endemic to all three races. Dwarves, though disciplined and rigorous in their artistic appetites, do have organs of performance that a Bard might call upon, foreign as they may be for any non-Dwarven observer. Half-elves are especially prone to Bardic insight as a child of two worlds. Caliban Bards may begin their journey as performers through tragic or unkind circumstances.

	== Other Perspectives ==		== Other Perspectives ==
	A Bard works well with their companions, often serving as the spokesperson of any group or party so to advantage their diction and social ~~skills~~ for their ~~overall~~ benefit. It is not uncommon for ~~a particularly~~ versed ~~Bard to be able~~ to float between groups without difficulty, melding their persona to present company as required. As their spellcraft is so deeply intertwined with ~~their performance~~, ~~bargaining for~~ acceptance with skeptical folk ~~is not~~ a challenge ~~except~~ for the most scrutinous individuals, like [[Inquisitor\|Inquisitors]], who ~~have the~~ trained ~~eye~~ to separate performance from ~~covert~~ spellcraft. Yet the evasive nature of a Bard makes it difficult for any one person or institution to pin them ~~down - and that is~~ to their preference.		A Bard works well with their companions, often serving as the spokesperson of any group or party so to advantage their skills in diction and working social encounters for their collective benefit. It is not uncommon for versed Bards to float between groups without much difficulty, melding their persona to appeal to present company as required. As their spellcraft is so deeply intertwined with performances, brokering acceptance with skeptical folk isn’t much of a challenge save for the most scrutinous individuals, like [[Inquisitor\|Inquisitors]], who are trained to separate the musical performance from disguised spellcraft. Yet the evasive nature of a Bard also makes it difficult for any one person or institution to pin them down—all to their preference.
