College of Sirens

Many a bard has been lured to the sea, the crash of the wave, the call of sea-faring birds, or the soft sounds of the deep echoing in their music. Some bards embrace the song of the sea, gaining abilities meant to lure others toward this source of beauty and power, or plunge their enemies to the depths. Such bards enter the College of Sirens, an elusive and mysterious conclave composed of bards that have learned the secret songs of the deep. These bards come in many varieties. Some might obtain this power to help protect the seas they so dearly love, others might join the College in hopes of drawing enemies off ships to their deaths in the treacherous waves, or simply to learn the strange and dark calls of the depths.
