The bard is a member of a bizarre class of entertainers and storytellers prized by the aristocratic city dwellers. Freemen all, the bards tour through cities in groups or individually, then travel on, making a living with their wits and talents. It is also widely accepted that many bards lead double lives as notorious blackmailers, thieves, spies and even assassins. Bards are first and foremost entertainers. Each has some skill as a singer, actor, poet, musicain and juggler.
Among the nobility of the cities, bards are tools. They are commonly hired by one house of nobles and sent to another as a gift. The bards are sent to entertain, and usually perform some other subtle taks (such as robbery, assassination, espionage, etc) as well. It is considered rude to turn down the gift of a bard or bard company. However, when presented with a troop of bards from one's worst enemy, sometimes they are turned away. To get around this, the hiring party sometimes disguises their approach by using a third party to send the bards - it can turn into a very complicated collage of intrigue and deceit.

Athas is a world of intrigue and treachery, of shady deals and secretive organizations. It's a rogue's paradise. Beyond the cities, among the wasteland tribes and villages, thieves live by their wits. Within the secure walls of the city states, many typically roguish occupations have become institutions unto themselves. Rogues have become pawns of the wealthy, deployed in deadly games of deceit between noble families.
Athasian rogues run the gamut of society. They range from guttersnipes who prey upon the merchants and freemen of the cities to vagabonds who steal what they can from passing caravans or merchant trains. At their best, thieves can be in the employ of the nobility, plying their trade by contract in the name of a royal household or noble do-gooders who seek to steal only from the corrupt and wealthy.
