College of Silence by Spratek

Bards of the College of Silence are often seen in areas where magical danger exists, functioning as guardians and protectors. they see their role as critical to maintaining balance in a world filled with magical forces. these bards are taught to make sounds that interrupt the very essence of magic, forming a kind of sonic barrier that protects both their companions and themselves. 

Their music, while inaudible to moist, produces a state of silence in which spells fail and magical energies drain. The frequencies they use are exact and calibrated, with each note and vibration designed to oppose specific magical wavelengths. This art, while not usually beautiful, is valued for its safety and effectiveness.

Interestingly, many bards at the College of Silence live a more casual and social life outside their duties. It is not uncommon to see them at tavern in the evening, drinking, and making friends, and playing familiar music that excites and entertains
