The August Order of Minstrels, as you have probably guessed from the title, is
a bardic guild. Our lives and our destinies revolve around music, around the
beauty and power of sound captured by instrument or the human voice. And the
power of sound is great, make no mistake about it! Our Muses, those divine
arbiters of music, have blessed us with many powers both offensive and
defensive. Even in death itself does our potent music aid us.

The minstrels are a layman's guild; we neither demand a great sacrifice nor
promise a great return. The skills you shall train in here are few, but those
few fields you may truly master. The benefits of our guild lie within the power
of our music and the abilites granted us by our Muses.

All may aspire to join our ranks, save those whose evil deeds have blackened
their hearts and deafened their ears to the beauty of music. Come, humans and
elves, hobbits and dwarves and gnomes. Come, goblins, let our training sweeten
your harsh voices and make nimble your crude digits. Come all and march under
the banner of the Muses.

A minstrel is a disciple of one particular instrument. Every minstrel must
therefore select at the beginning of his or her career that instrument to which
he or she will devote all.
