College of the Brewer

Bards of the College of the Brewer have found that the best way to inspire loyalty and camaraderie is to enjoy a beer around the fire, swapping stories and thoughts. These Bards have perfected the ability to create the craziest brews from the rarest ingredients, and can use these creations to inspire and help their friends.

You can find a Brewer at almost any bar or tavern, spinning stories of heroic tales and daring adventurers to the delight of their clientele.
