The House of Repose

The bards of The House of Repose appear to be like other bards, sharing news, singing songs, and telling tales to the audiences they gather. In truth, These bards are minstrels who double as assassins, spies, or saboteurs. The House of Repose teaches its students to be master manipulators and how to exploit people for wealth and power.
Shadow-Bard training is quite rigorous, and Shadow-masters Some times go so far as to wring the sympathy and capacity for love from the individual being groomed. Cruel as this seems, such a composed, aloof demeanor is necessary for a Shadow-bard to be able to perform their duties and sell their sympathies to the highest bidder. The quintessential Shadow-bard may in fact question whether they are even capable of love rather than treachery, though this training does not always wither an individual's basic compassion. For some, it is ultimately a bard's honor which determines how or even whether they will accomplish their given task or contract.
Many other bards hate The House of Repose, viewing it as a parasite that uses a bard’s reputation to acquire wealth and power. For this reason, members of this guild rarely reveal their true nature.
