The High King’s Bardic Code

Steel Realms
For The High King’s Bardic Code, the character must swear to uphold the spirit and tenets of the High King’s Bardic Code. Although not strictly ONLY for bards and Heralds of the High King, only those in service to the High King’s Heralds Hall are required to take a bound oath. The spirit of the code, as it would apply to local lieges, is typically part of a Bard/herald’s instructions.

  • Honor the High King and his vassals
  • Adjudicate the High Kings law when called upon – A bard character should always have Lore 1 and/or 1 Character Weave to use for these checks – they are crucial to settling disputes where there is no other formal means.
  • Collect knowledge for the greater good
  • Report all findings at the Heroes Hall
  • Serve the College once a year (quest, geas, etc.)
  • Fight evil
  • Inspire the good in all
  • Spread news and cheer wherever you go
