The Painter

Bards under this college are a rarity, as most bards prefer to express themselves with music. They are generally more ragged and rough in terms of their appearances; their clothes, skin and hair are generally stained with their constant use of paints and inks. It is rumoured that through practice and determination, these bards can actually bring their artwork to life to serve them as familiars and followers.
