Bard

Written by Salen

A Bard is a timeless hero of story and song. They travel the land, visiting nation after nation and tell their stories and sing the songs of heroes gone by. This tradition is essential mainly because they are trying to teach the people to learn from history. Also by doing this they also pick up more than their fair share of rumors and whisperings of goings on, staying at the forefront of the here and now. They have subtle ways of getting people to do things for them, and more than one bard has been the cause of a fallen lord or duke.

Magic or Music

Bards in Tamia have no magic, however, the music they play does have its own unique properties. If they are singing or playing an instrument, they can help another heal quicker. They must play for the time the person rests and if they do, they heal twice as fast. If they do this when a priest heals, then its effects are threefold.
