Wait, the Bard shelf is empty again? I just put 10 plat worth of nice instruments on there? Where'd they all go?! We had a history of several young bards show up, clean the shelf off and leave. They'd never talk to us, they never played instruments with us, never listened to a class. We just didn't know why they would do this, when the goodies we put on the shelf was meant for all young bards to use, not just the few who could show up first and grab everything.

Bardic Academy
A loose association of Bards, Mentors, and like-minded instrumentalists to ensure new bards get direct access to learning, instruments, and items related to the Bardic profession.
History
Crossings,
Wait, the Bard shelf is empty again? I just put 10 plat worth of nice instruments on there? Where'd they all go?! We had a history of several young bards show up, clean the shelf off and leave. They'd never talk to us, they never played instruments with us, never listened to a class. We just didn't know why they would do this, when the goodies we put on the shelf was meant for all young bards to use, not just the few who could show up first and grab everything. Many new players just starting as bards would take a peek in the guildhall and not realize the shelf was full of goodies for them as well.
Purpose
Instead of wasting her time and money putting stuff on the shelf that was just going to be swiped and pawned. Some very nice instrument cases do cost a plat each to buy. Founder, Sircha Rankmere decided that she was just going to hang onto her plats and when a new bard or two showed up she'd simply take them down to the local Bard Shop in Crossings, Riverhaven, and Leth Deriel and make sure they got some decent bard clothes, instrument case, repair kit, cambrinth, and a few song scrolls of their own.
A lot of people thought this was a fantastic idea, and before Sircha knew it the Academy was flooded with donations and volunteers to give to other new and young bards.
Teachings
Members of the Bardic Academy are asked to volunteer to teach new bards the following skills: Primary Magic, Parry, Vocals, Musical Theory, Light Chain, Light Thrown. Typically 10 minutes for each skill and then rotate the class is ideal and necessary learning for a new bard.
The Bardic Academy is founded in the principle of giving of one's own time, resources, and aid to ensure a good start for each profession.
Academy Symbol
The sign of the Bardic Academy is a pelican piercing it's own breast to feed the young.
