And how do bards act as spies?
User
As spies, bards can gather vital information by mingling with courtiers or even seducing their way into the confidence of their enemies. Of course, such subterfuge must be done carefully to avoid being caught and facing dire consequences.

It sounds like bards have a lot of power in political circles.
User
Indeed we do, my friend. And with that power comes great responsibility - bards must walk a fine line between loyalty and self-preservation, always weighing their allegiances and keeping their own motives in check.
