The Bard guild is an evolved class that can be reached only by those of the Traveler guild (levels 15+).

Guild Location:North of Tes'Kata Village
Guildleader: Keith Toran

Keith Toran is a handsome young man, dressed in a snazzy outfit bordering on the brink of ridiculous. Still, you feel a great deal of respect for the man and his incredible talents, ranging from nearly every subject imaginable.

Thanks to Lieza, Polly, and Zakarn for bardic info!

Keith's Speech:

Keith Toran welcomes you with a powerful voice, "Ahh! You have made an excellent decision to study with us."

"You see, we bards are sort of a jack-of-all-trades, mastering much of what we experience. We maintain that restricting oneself to a single study or practice does little good. We wield Spell and sword, we fight and play, and we get into a whole lot of trouble -- but we would have it no other way."

"The life of a Bard, however, is not all fun and games. Though we are not full-fledged performers, fighters, or mages, we bards must continuously maintain a high level of combat, magic, and artistry to advance in our career. While it is difficult to train in many areas, the trouble is worth much more than the effort, as most will agree. A fighter, mage, or traveler are each dangerous in their own rights, yet it is the combination of all three that makes us bards both loved and feared."

Keith hands you a Spellbook and says, "Here are a few Spells to get you started using magic. Learn them well and when you next return, perhaps I shall teach you more."

You now own a spellbook. To read it, type SpellS 1 (for first-level Spells), SpellS 2 (for second-level Spells), etc. To prepare Spells to be cast, type PREPARE . When your spell is ready, type CAST.

Keith gives you one more bit of advice, "We don't pressure our members like other guilds do. Find how best suits your own advancement in life and come see me when you feel you have learned all you can and I will help you."
