Stories are powerful things. Stories can inspire us. They expose us to different points of view. The best stories touch our hearts and transform our souls.

Bard Cycle

There is much confusion around what the Era of the Bards would look like. Much of the confusion was designed by the Wanderlores, for if those involved really knew what bringing forth the Bards meant, they certainly would not have participated. The Bards, it was believed, would have the power
