In every era and every region throughout the world, traveling musicians wandered throughout the land. They moved from town to town, making a living by plying their trade as artists of sound and motion, and on occasion the only source of carrying news from one town to another.
Historically, bards were the poet-musicians of the Celtic people living in the British Isles. Bards composed music, sang songs, and entertained their Masters. Usually they worked for noblemen and spent their time honoring these noblemen and their families in song and music.
Bards are the epitome of the Jack-of-all-trades, able to wield all weapons, don most types of armor, and cast a good number of wizard spells. They are very versatile; they sing, play instruments and spin tales. They are tremendous listeners, readers and searchers. They eagerly listen to any news and stories that people are willing to tell. If anything is available for a bard to learn, he/she'll learn it as soon as they can.
