History

House Ty Beirdd made its beginnings as the Bards Guild of Cyrene. Under the direction of Lord Scarlatti, the guild was founded by Ralph Mercadia 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.

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 offeredby the guild so that all members are encouraged to develop their own unique, artistic passion.

Culture

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.
