Wandering Bard
You knew every song before you knew any one well.
Class: bardFaction: free citiesFaction: wild clans
The Story
You learned three cycles from a passing harper at eleven and never settled afterward. You have played in twenty-three towns, slept in eighteen of them, been chased out of two, married into and out of one. You can still play any song the audience wants and three they do not. Your harp is older than you are.
