The Last Bard is a Ally in Wizard with a Gun.

Background

The Valyn Bards were renowned for their retellings of the stories of the god-wizards and their exploits in the world. When the Vale fell, so did the long line of bards trained by Magus himself. Now only one bard remains who knows the ancient songs and the old lore. The magi of the Vale and their descendants were blessed with long lives. Some say the craft is still passed from one master to a new apprentice every generation, but there are also rumors that the bard is older than the Shatter, old enough to have seen the fall of the Imperium and the shattering of the world.

Bard

Everything comes to an end, kid.

Bard

We've got the best seats for watching the show.

Bard

That old ghost tell you the fate of the world's in your hands?

Bard

I've heard her say that one before.

Bard

It's a heavy burden to put on anyone.

Bard

Don't stress too much, kid. If you fail, no one will be around to blame you.

Bard

Good luck with everything, kid.

Bard

Welcome to the Imperium, kid, or what's left of it.

Bard

The wizards used to be packed into stone spires as high as their ambitions.

Bard

S'all bunch of rubbles now.

Bard

Was never a fan of its glory days. It's a lot more peaceful now.

Bard

Just mind the mechanas.

Bard

Old Valyn, fallen to ruin.

Bard

Magus gave my people the gift of life and a bottomless well of pure water.

Bard

All that's left are monsters, at least by their looks. Old Josh makes a good moonshines though.

Bard

Just stay out of the water.

The Last Bard

Before the world broke, twelve tribes ruled Koleye under the shade of the Kolbara tree.

The Last Bard

Solus, the godwizard of destruction, taught them war and violence.

The Last Bard

Together they fed the roots of the Kolbara tree with the blood of their enemies.

The Last Bard

Now only two tribes survive in the frozen wastes: led by a father and his child at war.

The Last Bard

And the blood-covered snow still knows no peace.

The Last Bard

Cover your tracks, kid.

The Last Bard

I never sailed the bountiful Aldern Sea, nor tasted the pleasures of Alders.

The Last Bard

But the people of the desert are different from their foremothers.

The Last Bard

For less friendly. For more coarse. As inhospitable as the heat and crabs.

The Last Bard

And they don't take kindly to magic.

The Last Bard

Be on your guard, kid.
