College of Propaganda

Bards of the College of Propaganda are architects of belief who treat stories like spells. They rally allies with contagious inspiration and twist doubt into a weapon against their foes. Some serve a cause as morale-makers and unifiers, while others polish reputations for the powerful. Wherever they go, they learn one truth: control the narrative, and you control the room.
