• ○ Vailu Valmiran ○ • Upcoming changes and Internal Restructuring. [!] This missive starts with a neatly handwritten letter! It reads: “After running this College for over a century, I can comfortably call its success and outreach a lifetime achievement. Fruits of obsessive dedication and absolute single-mindedness. Now, the dream has outgrown its dreamer. I find that my silent, focused labour does not reach the true potential span of our artistic developments. Therefore, I am resigning as Headmistress of the Bard’s College and, as a final act of conviction, I have elected a Bardic Council so that our united efforts may push us towards, and beyond, journeys we could never have dared to yearn for alone. That we can be. Behold. Be beholden to one another. Brimztra bless us all.” - Inny Yuln’aher. • The Bardic Council • Art by the always lovely Unibearse!

– Hey you! Do you do the roleplays? Do you like playing an artsy character? Would you like to keep doing exactly that, but alongside a wacky community, all the while competing to get yourself some COOL REWARDS? I’m really hoping you said yes here CHECK OUT BARD QUESTS! – Bard quests are biweekly Quest Cards (like the classic MMOs) where you can complete tasks, show our artsy community bits and pieces of your roleplay misadventures, and compete to get yourself some cool character art while you’re at it! HOW DOES IT WORK? – Join our Discord, and look for our most recent Quest card. Go out there and roleplay to do quests, then come back to submit screenshots of your completed quest on our discord! Quests give more or less ✨ Renown ✨ based on their difficulty. If the quest completion is deemed neat by other people, they can react to your post to add more Renown to that submission. Renown resets biweekly! Afterwards, Renown is tallied up, and at the end of the 2 weeks we will host a raffle to pick a Renowned Bard. Renown adds weight to your name, so the more Renown the more likely you are to win. But it's luck based! Everyone has a shot even if they only do a small quest! Also means voting for good submissions makes them more likely to win. If you win, the next Quest Card will be themed around your character! You’ll get a nice lil' character portrait on the card to go along with it, and a Discord/IRP 'Renowned Bard' Badge for bragging rights. EXAMPLE QUEST CARD: – Here is our first Card! Remember this is just an example. See our Discord for the most recent Card! HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? – [Join our Bard College Discord by clicking here] This is all a player-ran event that will be updated biweekly, and it’d be a nightmare trying to do this within the forums. Ya gotta go to the discord there where it’s all neat and organized. In our Bard Quests channel, you can submit screenshots of your rp and give context in your submission. There’s a handy-dandy submission form in our discord!
