Editing Scrollhammer: Holds of Skyrim (section)

====Wandering Bard====

To be a Bard of Skyrim is an art and an honor. Trained by master musicians, often at the Bard's College of Solitude, it is the task of these minstrels to sing the sagas of past heroes. In battle, they provide companionship, mirth and inspiration to those around them. Some Bards are payed to sing at the court of a Jarl, or hired by innkeepers and traders to entertain their customers. Others wander the land, singing songs as they go for those with the coin, all while wooing fair maidens and dispatching brigands and monsters with a blade kept close at hand. Some call them vagabonds, and seek to reign in their exploits; others see them as adventurers of the finest sort, and have no qualms in seeking their assistance in battle.
