Bards: the source of news throughout Valdemar. When a Bard comes to town he or she is greeted with enthusiasm everyone needs to have at least a little of his or her time. Who could possibly be met with so much enthusiasm?

A Bard is a Gifted person, with a "Gift of Entertainment" one might say. Bards are able to project feeling in their voices, and are naturally skilled with all instruments. When they speak, everyone listens with rapt attention. When the pleasure the listener gets from listening to a Bard is referred to as "magic", it’s no exaggeration!

Bards are the ones who carry news across Valdemar. If it weren't for them, the towns would become isolated long ago and might actually have already split into tiny, weak countries.  Another function of these talented people is entertainment. Due to their natural ability with musical instruments and their almost mystical ability to sing, they make even the most talented of musicians green with envy.

Bards are trained in the Bardic Collegium in Haven, the Capital of Valdemar. They are trained in numerous subjects in order to prepare them for the rigorous duties that lie ahead. Bards wear scarlet clothing, while Trainees wear rust colored garb.
