Bards serve as a court's storytellers and lorekeepers. Their persons are considered sacred, and bad luck follows those who knowingly stirke a bard or engage him/her in battlr when he/she is unwilling. The words of bards are believed to be prophetic. Most bards refrain from speaking unless performing or specifically requested to contribute to a conversation, lest they unwittingly utter something (by virtue of coming from a bard's lips) carries the force of prophecy. They are amoung the most respected retainers.
