Dance of Crowns
Dance of Crowns is the most well renowned bard college in all the realm, all sorts of artistic endeavors are taught here: music, dance, painting, sculpting, poetry, calligraphy, literature, and even diplomacy. Most great bards are graduates of Dance of Crowns such as Arathys Hune.
The College holds magnificent concertos, inspiring plays and grand balls. It also hosts lavish parties; the combination of having the greatest artistic talent and the largest ballroom in the realm (larger even than the one at the palace) makes it quite in demand from the nobility who often rent it for special occasions.
Oghma, the old god of artists and bards and Shelyn, the new god of beauty love and music are both openly revered in Dance of Crowns. Many Oghmanite and Shelynite priests spend more time at the college than their own shrines and temples.
Many noble houses send their children under tutelage both to Dance of Crowns college and to the Great Library of Vincera Tal Verei to get a complete and formal education.
