College of Anarchy
Bards of anarchy are just how it sounds. Agents of chaos and the voice of rebellion. Bards who wield unorthodox music that seeks to stir the very core of anyone who hears them. Not to weep, but to scream, raise their fist, and rise. Like drums of war, the bards of anarchy unleash a mixture of a demon's roars and grunts with screams and rage of celestials to empower their allies.
Fear be among all tyrants, for the bard's music brings about the fury of the meek and the forgotten. Rebellion comes, and they want your head.
