Bards strike their first notes under the guidance of fellow performers, whether they take up the lute in the forest halls of Faelindral or the dockside taverns of Night Harbor.

Faelindral: A Song Among the Trees
New Bards starting in Faelindral report to Pine Brightreed, who sets recruits to work proving their talents before welcoming them properly into the craft. See the full breakdown on the Bard Starter Quest (Faelindral) page.
Night Harbor: The Dockside Debut
Bards starting in Night Harbor instead answer to Jamee Langris, who gives new performers their first taste of the trade among the sailors and merchants of the harbor. Full details on the Bard Starter Quest (Night Harbor) page.
Tips for New Bards
Both starter chains are solo-friendly and low risk, so there’s no wrong choice between zones early on — pick whichever starting city matches the character concept or race you’re playing. Either path gets your first songs and a bit of early gear in hand before you head out to make a name for yourself.
