College of Muses

During the time of the Lich King, the need for distraction, inspiration and solace grew ever necessary. It was the impending darkness of the Lich King that drove bards, dancers, storytellers, painters and many more performing artists to come together and give hope to the populace. Their secret guild dubbed the College of Muses travelled across the world to where the influence of the Lich King held strong and gave some joy to the people, all the while planting seeds of rebellion and heroism.

The College now exists to enlighten and inspire, keeping eyes and ears open for seeds of tyranny and cruelty, attempting to stamp it out.

Inside the College
The College of Muses is a secret one, one that works behind the curtain of the stage. While many rumours of their existence have now become old wives tales since the Lich King, many are still unsure. Many of its actual members will laugh and scoff at the discussion of their existence, as being hidden and unknown is their greatest asset to what they wish to accomplish.

They travel from place to place, split into countless groups and individuals. Not really having any secure place to plant their flag and call their own, and they don’t need one either. There is no leader among them, only lowly performers wanting to influence change.

Goals of the College
The College originally existed to sow rebellion against the Lich King and his conquered. Now since that time, instead of going directly against tyrants of the world, they seek out the downtrodden and inspire for them to be better than themselves, to rise up on their own. But they want the idea that the downtrodden came to this idea on their own, with only the College giving them inspiration of such a thing.

Joining the College
One does not actively seek out to join the College, as their existence is meant to be secret. Instead, the College seeks you out. If songs and tales of a charismatic and inspiring fellow reach their ears (and it does all the time) they watch and study that individual, seeing if they are pure of heart enough for the College. An offer shall be extended and hopefully a new masked face joins the College of Muses.
