History
Bards have always been storytellers that were very knowledgeable on historical and current affairs, more often than not in the form of satire and comedy.
Upon the founding of the Tightish Empire, as part of the social service reform, the bards were gathered and reeducated into their current form.
Those that were unsuitable for the task lost their title as bard and became entertainers.
