Are there any legendary Bards in D&D lore? I'm hoping for something along the lines of other legendary NPCs of different classes, whether it is Drizzt (Ranger), the various wizards (Volo, Mordenkainen), etc. etc.
I'm looking for a touchstone for an eladrin NPC I'm developing that runs a secret organization of Bards (a la Harpers, Mercer's Golden Grin, etc.).
Finder Wyvernspur and Storm Silverhand come to mind from Forgotten Realms. Storm in particular might be of interest as she was a central figure in the Harpers and ran the eastern half of the organization.
A google search brought this one up from Ed Greenwood who created the realms and likely knows a thing or two about their legendary bards. I'd never heard of this one, but I am not as big on realmslore as many.
Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Good pics. Danilo Thann might also qualify.
