Herr the Bard is a knight of Plort.

The Song of Herr the Bard
Hear ye, hear this tale of a wand'ring bard, He who formed a life, rather avant-garde He will sing a part of his life-song now, And he will tell you much, I fear, a shortened tale of how His life would never at all remain, by any stretch, unscarred

From a small Vaekewian lumberyard Songs of heroes, and of the vices they sparred Sung by this youthful man with a lightened brow

Hear ye, hear this tale of a wand'ring bard, He who formed a life, rather avant-garde He will sing a part of his life-song now,

As his songs became grand and rather hard, He took his song to the world at this church's yard; But while there, he heard a tune quite low-brow And found such verse that quite good taste would quickly disallow; With music terse, and words debased, these verses he'd bombard

Hear ye, hear this tale of a wand'ring bard, He who formed a life, rather avant-garde He will sing a part of his life-song now, And he will tell you much, I fear, a shortened tale of how His life would never at all remain, by any stretch, unscarred

He went out to the world, and he saw the knights of yore And decided then to join them, braving all the blood and gore, His sword hand was quite steady, even though he would not dare, To admit his sword-hand raised high, from a special temper flare But even so he fought this fight, as any good knight would, A warrior 'gainst Marizu, he would fight for forces good.

And yet a doubt assailed him in a time of inner strife, A doubt that made him flee the world, and seek advent'rous life, And yet he felt a hole inside which grew each lonely day, How could he have let himself be led astray?
