Taran Songbird



My Singing Bird (Traditional)

I have seen the lark soar high at morn Heard his song up in the blue I have heard the blackbird pipe his note The thrush and the linnet too But there's none of them can sing so sweet My singing bird, as you

If I could lure my singing bird From his own cozy nest If I could catch my singing bird I would warm him on my breast For there's none of them can sing so sweet My singing bird, as you.

Common Knowledge
There isn't much, honestly. Taran is a wandering bard who mostly makes his living by making music, singing songs and telling stories in the taverns of the towns along his path. Often referred to as 'silver-tongued', or having 'a way with words', Taran is a friend to most who cross his path. It has been noted that he has no apparent prejudices against mages - at least, until they try terrorizing him or damaging him.

The Songbird and the Lute
In Bleakdreary of 627, Taran - who had previously admitted to no family name - took the name of Songbird to himself, claiming it had beed bestowed upon him by others. At about the same time, he started to be seen carrying the legendary Fat Lute, an ancient lute with glowing seraphite strings that is capable of producing music of a nearly transcendent beauty, which he claims was bestowed on him along with the name 'Songbird'.
