Ralph Mercadia (born 5 Sarapin, 264 AF) was a singer and performer. During a casual festival of the arts, he learned the songs of [[Scarlatti]]. The [[God]] of the Arts encouraged him to continue to develop the lyrical ballads and melodic skills of the Bard. Ralph's labour led to the formation of both the Bard [[class]] and Bards Guild. The guild was founded on the 21st day of [[Mayan]], in the year 350 AF. Its arrival had been long anticipated by the world and was received with much enthusiasm and fanfare, befitting of the Guild's nature as the performers and artists of the realms. It was Ralph's dream for the Guild to be like an Academie of Music, seeking potential and talent in new members: "Great artists of today who seek to become better, and the great bards of tomorrow who may someday supercede them." | Ralph Mercadia (born 5 Sarapin, 264 AF) was a singer and performer.

On 17 Aeguary, 494AF, a giant by the name of [[Hrakken]] entered the Garden of the Arts and proceeded to scream and curse Scarlatti, resulting in the demise of the Hall of Arts. [[Una Brau]] was slain either by the monster's screaming or the crumbling debris, but either way the damage was done. Ty Beirdd was left without a tutor, her crumpled form trapped beneath the ruins of the estate, unable to be [[Resurrection|resurrected]]. | |||
When guilds transformed to houses, Ty Beirdd opened up to accept other classes, recognising that diversity in students is as important as art itself. Additionally their affiliate clan, the Academie of Fine Arts, began accepting students outside Cyrene, thus allowing adventurers worldwide, barring certain restrictions, to study under the teachings of some of the finest adventurer performing artists the realm has known. | When guilds transformed to houses, Ty Beirdd opened up to accept other classes, recognising that diversity in students is as important as art itself.
