College of Cards

Bards have always had a knack with anything involving gambling. Well, one day a particular bard, that goes by the name Tuck Littlefeet, found himself in a spot of trouble after he had been discovered cheating at the local cardhall. All he had on him after he had run from the bruisers at the cardhall was a deck of playing cards. As the bruisers neared he began to throw the cards at the bruisers in desperation. Somehow he managed to magically charge one and fell a bruiser. The other bruisers ran, deciding that it was not worth their lives to please their boss. From that day on Tuck Littlefeet has been honing the craft of magically imbuing cards and teaching others how to do the same.
