College of Bards
Type: GROUPCurator: John White
Description
The College of Bards is a collection of professional bards in Baranur and throughout much of the continent of Cherisk. Their headquarters is in Magnus in a building also called the College of Bards. That building project was begun in 792. Ground was broken for the foundations in 797. By 799, the walls began to rise above those foundations, overseen by Master Stonemason Tarrum to specifications not exactly in line with the strictures of his guild. The opening ceremony of the completed building was in early 801.
