Oppara’s largest bard college, the Kitharodian Academy, is known for producing some of Taldor’s greatest musicians and actors. What few locals know is that the academy hosts a secret shadow school for the Lion Blades, who walk among the faculty and recruit heavily from the academy’s student body.

While the academy teaches the bardic arts to all its students, the most charming, innocent‑seeming, and loyal are inducted into the Lion Blades and taught to listen, watch, and even kill for their country. Every lesson serves a dual purpose; dance classes teach the fundamentals of combat footwork and acting classes groom students to read and manipulate others. Students selected for special training by the Lion Blades see more advanced training building off these universal foundations.
