The Bardic
Colleges
There are four Bardic Colleges - the Scribes, the Scholars, the Entertainers and the Harpers.
On joining one of the Colleges, not necessarily when first joining the Guild, individuals must provide an audition piece appropriate to the skills of that College. Special allowances about auditions can and have been made. There is absolutely no bar to joining more than one College, and neither is there anything to say that you cannot belong to only one. Each College sets their own and in the case of at least one (the Harpers), the audition often takes the form of tests.
