"What is a bard?!" replied the bard incredulously. "Why my dear lass, I am a maker of music, a singer of songs, a teller of tales, and a worker of words. I sharpen my tongue daily on a stone of silver and forge the dreams that even KINGS dare not keep. I give the masses what they want and take from them an equal share. Allow me to emphasize the terms MASSES and EQUAL. Mull over this . . . ponder it.
"When you believe you fully realize the extent of my ability and influence, then hand me your fragile reality and I'll warp it in ways you could never possibly imagine."
- Talthyr Dzsaradin and Ilphryn Galadriel, Master Bards of the Emerald Hills.
