Bard College of Minds Awaker

## College of Minds Awaker
A beholder lair, a vampire castle, horrors of the shadowfell and most atrocity battlefields. These are some dreadful places that adventurers can explore, and those few who come out alive sometimes find themselves fighting against monsters far worse than real ones. <br>
Bards of this college use music and their studies of mind secrets to treat adventurers traumatized by their travels and to awaken dormant memories and knowledge in the depths of the unconscious. Bards of this college are well dressed men or old sage who travel the world to find victims to be treated.
