Difference between revisions of "Bard"

Music and song can invoke a special magic which supports other [[archetype]]s as well as being a potent force in itself. This is the type of magic that every '''bard''' taps into. Indeed, bards compose their own songs, imbuing them with certain magical powers. They can be found throughout [[Lusternia]], both in cities and communes. Bard use [[Music]] and must maintain a [[musical instrument]], and they develop strong bonds to their chosen instrument. They then specialize in the particular form of Music used by their [[class]]. All bards keep in top physical condition through a study in [[Acrobatics]]. City bards choose a third skill from [[Dramaturgy]], [[Illusions]], or [[Tarot]]. Commune bards maintain a close affinity to nature and choose between [[Dramaturgy]], [[Illusions]], or [[Hunting]] with a specialization of [[Ecology]].

 

Bards that practice [[Highmagic]] are able to learn [[Enchantment]] and specialize in [[Tinkering]].

 

Each modern bardic group traces its sound back to a [[Song Keeper]], an [[Elder God]] who maintained the [[Song of Creation]]. These Elders were especially hunted by the [[Soulless God]]s who consumed many of them, however their Voices lived on.

*The first of these Voices discovered belonged to Mahalla. {{News|Events|70}}
