Bards in Arthos
Practice
To become a bard is to access the magic of The Source through creative means. Most often this talent manifests through musicality, though there are notable exceptions to this rule. A frequently asked question is how bard magic works, which is inevitably a difficult answer to articulate for those without bardic experience.
"Yes, the world has a heartbeat. The tempo changes with her mood and you just have to listen for that; be a good listener. More importantly you have to bring something of your own to the conversation, a creative spark, a vulnerability. It's not enough to just play the tempo back at Arthos. You have to add a melody and that takes guts to 'yes and' to your muse like that. To go off the script. But when that magic happens, the bliss is palpable like first love. That's why bards do what we do." --Heinja Kord
Bards can be taught musical technique but the intuition to channel Arthos' beat must come naturally. For those who discover the tempo, it becomes a lucrative profession and a lifelong passion.
