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.

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. | |||
Sometime around year 529 AF, during Sancero Velprece's tenure as house leader, the Garden decided to put a restriction on houses, stating that no two a particular city could both accept members of the same class. In an effort to hone and refine the purpose of the house, Ty Beirdd made the decision to return to its guild roots and revert back to only accepting members of the bard class once more, thus resulting in a more streamlined and focused organisation, with a tight-knit community of members that uses their skills and abilities to have a more broad influence on the realm as a whole. | |||
