The Bard

''"In his SLEEVIES!" ''-the Bard

The Bard is a tone-deaf travelling minstrel from a bordering village of Strom, though he spent most of his time at the great crossroads of Edvensfall, Stonehaven.

Background
The Bard was born to a gypsy slave in the heart of Strom in ____, of a family who preferred to gather food for those who raided and plundered Ulthanos during the War of the Tides. After being forced from their pitiful spot of land by a bandit lord, he and his caravan moved west, where he grew up in the Bloodmoore Marshes, during which time he was trained to appease the many bandit troupes raiding the Marshes through song and improvised acting.

One day, while doing a jig and firedance for a group of bandits that he was not particuarly fond of, Giant Spiders, fleeing from their now-buring Bloodmoore Keep, assailed the tiny caravan, giving the Bard both the time to escape the carnage, and much sadness, as his entire family and pet dog were amongst those slaughtered.
