Bards of Cyrodiil 2_0

Bards of Cyrodiil 2. 0 by Magickman12

Note there are some songs and stories that can be considered rude and should not be viewed by anyone without a juvenile sense of humor.

New for Version 2. 0 The bards now entertain those who talk with them! Every bard will have something to relate, whether its an epic poem, a tavern song, some limericks, a story enriched with lore, or one of a number of different types of entertainment. Before I continue, please know that there is NOT YET any voice files or animations, though those might come with later versions. For now, you read what they have to share. Each bard has a different area of knowledge and a different storytelling style. The particulars are described below in the individual bard details. Many of the stories are short, some are long. Some bards just like to tell jokes or sing about beer, but others take their craft more seriously, crafting epic stories that bring the history of the Elder Scrolls universe to life. In all there is over 1200 lines of dialogue. Since I like to write, I will probably be adding more tales, songs, etc. occassionally. I have also been thinking of letting other people put their stories in this mod. I would make another bard (chosen by the story's author) with that person's name and plug in his stories. I haven't completely decided on this. If you think this is something you'd like to do, then let me know and we'll talk about it. Oh, and bards such as Mufasha, Chansson and Raptor will refrain from starting bar fights like they did in V1.

From Version 1. 0 This mod places levelled lists in the inns of Cyrodiil that will spawn one of fifteen bards upon entering. These bards have travelled the length and breadth of Cyrodiil and they still keep moving on, recording the deeds of others and sharing their wealth of stories with everyone. They possess maps of different parts of Cyrodiil (transferred over from my Maps of Cyrodiil mod), but most importantly, they offer their services to tell the world about your great (or heinous) deeds. This can raise your infamy, fame, misc. stats, or get you included in the various evil factions like the Marauders or Mythic Dawn. They can also get you promoted in the regular guilds that you are already in. For a fee, each bard will offer you one of several contracts.

Gwydion sings of heroes and places far and wide. His songs have enchanted the guests of every inn and tavern in Cyrodiil. For the purchase price of this contract, this renown bard shall sing of the exploits of the legendary hero of Cyrodiil. Your fame shall increase as word of your great deeds spread as far as the wandering minstrel shall travel. Every one of your noble aspects shall be praised and exaggerated until they reach legendary proportions including your battles, skills, strength, powers, number of lovers, generosity and wealth.
