Bards of Infinity
Bards have been present since the Sorcerer War and possibly before then, however written records are very rare and the veracity of these records can not be confirmed. Bards of Infinity do not have masters to serve but instead tell their tales across Infinity.

As such, some bards have become masters in the art of stealth, survival and even war.
