Bards of the College of Golden Rhetoric are masters of influence, lawyers whose voices carry the weight of truth, charm, and divine authority.
Trained in both ancient courtroom arts and mystical persuasion, these bards can sway crowds, calm monsters, negotiate impossible deals, and dismantle enemies with perfectly crafted arguments.

Their magic flows not from songs alone, but from flawless logic, dazzling charisma, and the golden tongue of a natural advocate.
Hermes—son of the legendary Hotman Paris—embodies this College’s peak: stylish, sharp-minded, and capable of talking down dragons, demons, or kings with nothing but words.

Students of this College learn to:

• bend social encounters to their favor,

• turn enemies into allies,

• stun opponents with verbal brilliance,

• and channel persuasive magic as easily as breathing.

Where others draw swords, these bards draw arguments—and win.
