- Ranks
- Nightingale (1) - Head of Faction
- Esteemed Member (3) - The people who helped found the organization. Also people who make very generous donations.
- Instructor (4) - Members of the organization who are interested in teaching others music.
- Bard (5) - Limited to characters who are, by concept, musicians/singers/storytellers/etc.. Generally, if the concept part of your sheet mentions being a musician/singer/something similar, that's how you qualify for this rank. Don't have an explicitly bardic concept but feel this is where you belong? Let's talk about it!
- Member (7) - Music is something your character does but is not their main focus.
- Liaison (8) - Characters who liaise between the College and another organization who are not patrons.
- Patron (9) - Supporters, official allies, etc..
- Hangout
- The Bard's College is located on Grace Way, right by Whisper House. @directions bard will get you there (@directions college will take you to the Apothecary College). There's a great hall, an office for official business, and a workshop where instruments are made and sold, with proceeds going to the College.
- What is Expected of Org Members?
- Flippin' nothing! It's mostly a social organization. Sometimes opportunities to do things for events come up. The org does an @action once in a while. There will likely be at least one concert event a season. Basically, there's no pressure to do much of anything.
- Doesn't This Overlap With Whispers? Or Mummers?
- Nah. Whispers have some musicians, but not all Whispers are musicians and not all musicians are Whispers. There's a bit of overlap, which is why we have a liaison with Whisper House (hi, Bliss!). And the Mummers are actors, though again, some bards are actors and some actors are bards.
