Located in the heart of the [[Vashnars]] within the [[Garden of the Arts]] in [[Cyrene]], members dedicate their lives to their art, no matter if that art is created with paints and canvas or rapiers and song. The house has expanded upon the initial paths offered by the guild so that all members are encouraged to develop their own unique, artistic passion.

Ralph Mercadia (born Sarapin 5, 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 coming had been long anticipated by the world, and was received with much enthusiasm and fanfare as befits the nature of the guild as the performers and artists of the realms.

===Guildmasters===

''The following held the title of Bard Lord, as guildmasters of the Bards guild.''

:After the creation of the bard class, Ralph formed the Bards guild. It was his 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."

== Patrons ==

;Lord Scarlatti : Scarlatti was the only patron of the Bards Guild and the initial patron of Ty Beirdd.

;Lady [[Selene]] : On 5th Daedalan, 371 AF, after Scarlatti fell into a deep slumber, Ty Beirdd embraced Selene as their new patron.

;Lady Valnurana : At the close of the year 458 AF, the Lady of Sleep and Dreams became the new patron of Ty Beirdd.

Members of Ty Beirdd are often hired to perform at both public and private events. Bard-classed associates of the house often join house members to group together and perform chorales as well, benefiting the audience with an [[experience]] like no other.

At the stroke of midnight each first of [[Sarapin]], members of the house can be found in Cyrene's Dancing Boar Inn, performing for anyone wishing to attend the annual [[New Year's Concert]].

Another concert, called simply the [[Ero Concert]], was initially held each year during the month for which it was named in the Garden of the Arts to honour Lady Selene. In more recent times, the locations and themes of the event were altered at the discrection of the host to allow performers more freedom in choosing subject matter for their pieces.
