"Free me of only half this affliction and I shall be a complete man. You must think of me as being as happy as it is possible to be on this earth-not unhappy. No! I cannot endure it. I will seize fate by the throat. It will not wholly conquer me! Oh, how beautiful it is to live and live a thousand times over." -Beethoven

"For far too long, those of artistic talent and ability remained seclusive, fearing to reveal their skills to the murderous peoples of Sosaria. Skill, talent, beauty... things loathed by people who knew only how to weild sword or spell.

Not long ago, a secretive group of men and women took up the challenge of uniting the many performers of the lands, those who could play various instruments, sing songs that would bring a tear to the meanest of trolls, and spin a tale that would have the hardiest adventurer sitting on the edge of his seat...

In a distant land, far from the eyes of murderers, thieves and assassins, a building was contructed to host the many concerts, schools and instructors - all focussed on barding, acting and so much more. United, they thrived and became a powerful force, no longer forced to hide their true desires from the towns, cities and villages of our world.

Today, the Conservatory of Bardic Arts thrives and makes its presence known to all mortals, without fear of being forced back to the shadows..." - Aeros the Sage
