College of the Wind

Bards of the College of the Wind are in tune with the music that is all around them. The wind whistling, the leaves whooshing in the air, the breeze bellowing in the deep distance. Practitioners from this College have learned to mimic these sounds with their instruments. Those who choose this college tend to find themselves in the stillness of the wilderness, as opposed to the hustle and bustle of city life like many other bards. Using the soothing, natural melodies of their woodwind instruments to become one with the air and the wind. These bards are known for their command of the wind, using it both to enhance their songs, punish their enemies, and take to the skies.
