Located in the heart of the [[Vashnars]] within the [[Garden of the Arts]] in [[Cyrene]], members of the House of '''Ty Beirdd''' dedicate their lives to their art, no matter if that art is created with paint 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 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."

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.

==Patrons==
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.

:371 AF - Lady Selene replaced Lord Scarlatti.
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.

Another concert, called simply the [[Ero Concert]], held during the month for which it was named, began as a tradition to honour Lady Selene, who was Patron at that time. Initially held in the Garden of the Arts, the venues and themes of the event were later altered at the discretion of the host to allow performers more freedom in both style and subject matter.
A curious, lifelike wax sculpture of [[Oscar Jarrod]] posed within the great hall, alongside [[Moselle]], the Ty Beirdd humgii.


In more recent times the event has moved to the month of Valnuary to honour the current Patron. Instead of limiting the event to just concerts, the house also holds games and workshops that promote both creativity and camaraderie amongst the attendees.
After the organisation closed its doors to adventurers, the estate opened to the public. Sam remained at the estate where he continues tending bar while Riordan, Oscar, and Moselle began new adventures with the [[Virtuosi]].

This page is about the House of Bards. For other uses, please see Bards (disambiguation).

Located in the heart of the Vashnars within the Garden of the Arts in Cyrene, members of the House of Ty Beirdd dedicated their lives to their art, no matter if that art was created with paint and canvas or rapiers and song. The House expanded upon the initial paths offered by the Guild so that all members were encouraged to develop their own unique, artistic passion and share them at events, such as the Ero Concert held to honours their patron, Selene or the annual New Year's concert at the Dancing Boar Inn.

After centuries of song, and a month of prophetic discovery, the Ty Beirdd House was dissolved during the House Renaissance of Cyrene. Many view the Virtuosi as Ty Beirdd's spiritual successors.

Founding

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 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."

Inhabitants

There were many who resided within the halls of Ty Beirdd, each with a key role to play. For those who were seeking a merry drink, Sam the bartender was most certainly the denizen to see, though the more studious adventurer may have wished to visit the tutor Riordan.

A curious, lifelike wax sculpture of Oscar Jarrod posed within the great hall, alongside Moselle, the Ty Beirdd humgii.
