College of the Swan

The College of the Swan was a learning institution founded early in the Gait Era, by one Cygnus Klief. The school was the oldest and most premier school for bards in Al'tehrun, with graduates of the school celebrated and praised as amongst the greatest entertainers in Olessar.

Each year, the college put on the Battle of the Bards, a competition held at the Tauma Auditorium in Sedesend, allowing bards all across the world to compete for the honor of being named First Muse, the personal bard of the emperor of Olessar (Isaac Olessar III).
