     -  The Order of the Bard is an ancient guild of minstrels and  -
      -  artisans  best known  for their  poetry and song. Whether   -
      -  entertaining  a crowd  or a small gathering at the hearth,  -
      -  a Bard  always  has a ready  story to share. Our keen ears  -
      -  and eyes are quick to spot the  slightest  inspiration and  -
       -  translate  it  into verse.  But as chroniclers  of history  -
       -  and happenings,  a Bard is often  more of an observer than  -
       -  a participant.  Though  we  may present  a neutral face as  -
       -  events  unfold,  a Bard  may  often  allow his opinions or  -
       -  judgement  to  be  heard later in song or verse. Minstrel,  -
       -   chronicler,  historian and performance artist, a Bard is   -
        -  always willing to share their creativity.                  -
        -                                                              -
        -  Anyone  is  welcome to  apply  to the Order of the Bards,   -
        -  providing  they have reached at least the current minimum   -
         - level of experience (see 'claninfo bard') and are actively  -
         -  creative. Applicants  are  required  to provide two works  -
         -  showcasing their  creative  skills.  If  these are deemed  -
         -  acceptable, an  applicant will be put through a series of  -
         -  trials.  For more details see the clan web pages listed in -
         - 'claninfo  bard'. Prospective applicants are encouraged to  -
        -  read  the  clan information  and  charter  on  the website  -
        -  before applying, to ensure they understand the clan theme.  -
        -                                                              -
        -      As a neutral clan, the Order of the Bard does not      -
       -      participate  in interclan rivalries. We have strict     -
       -      policies  guiding  combat  with other clans. Bards      -
       -       do not  PK, raid or compete in clan wars. If you       -
       -       enjoy  these  sorts of activities, the Order is        -
      -       probably not the right clan for you.                   -
      -                                                              -
      -    For more detailed information, please see our web pages,  -
      -   particularly the charter. Should this help file conflict   -
     -    with information on the cast web pages, the web pages     -
     -    should be considered the authority.                       -
