A college of the future. A college of change. A college of influence. A bard from the college of idols add a certain shine to their performance making it hard for the audience to look away. The light draws in the crowd while the music keeps them there. They gain the favor of lords and even kings from around the globe yet the never join the royal court.

To bards of the college of Idols power comes from influence not strength and influence comes from favor not status. Bards from this college can influence the mind, the heart and the body to perform great feats. Their songs of inspiration can even inspire who have hit the bottom. Their songs can make the dwindling light of hope shine once more.

the lights of the stage bring attention to the performer and there performances are loud and upbeat contrast to their subtle and elegant magic. The attention brought by an idol can be wanted or unwanted but was is certain is that attention is drawn and it brings potential influence.
