 '''Bardic Colleges''' are fellowship organizations surrounding the [[Bard (class)|bard class]], composed of multiple structures collectively known as campuses, offering training in the arts. A [[College|college]] will also act as a social and professional community for bards, usually local but potentially international. Colleges may be independent, or they may possess satellites scattered in multiple kingdoms. Some are more prestigious than others, their reputation carrying weight with courts, guilds and patrons who will defer to their judgment in matters of taste, performance and artistic merit.

+== Instruction ==
-The most influential are those whose focus is the higher arts, related to music, painting, lyrics and poetry, or sculpture. Lesser colleges provide training in dance, physical arts like [[Juggling (sage ability)|juggling]], [[Acting (sage study)|acting]] and drama, and many physical arts, such as [[Glaze (sage study)|art pottery]] or printing. Bards will often train in more than one form of art, in order to round out their desire to express unique and lasting works.
+Colleges will teach any who can provide the tuition, but colleges will also support adequately proficient bards by offering them a monthly or yearly stipend. To receive this, the bard must audition, presenting work before a panel of masters or fellows. Success grants not only financial support but association with the college’s name, which may be invoked when seeking patronage, lodging or permission to perform within certain jurisdictions. Failure does not exclude the bard from study, but may limit access to instruction and resources. Musical and dramatic colleges are often called "conservatories," while those that offer physical arts, such as dance, are usually deemed "academies."

-Colleges will usually be found in cities that have upwards of 16,000 persons. Musical and dramatic colleges are often called, “conservatories.” Physical arts, such as dance, are usually practiced at “academies.”
+Affiliation with a college carries expectations. Members may be called upon to perform at civic functions, religious observances or private gatherings of importance. Colleges may also dispatch their members abroad, either to establish new campuses, to study foreign forms, or to represent the institution in distant courts. In this way, bardic colleges form networks through which styles, techniques and reputations travel between kingdoms, giving them influence that extends beyond their immediate location.
