==Quotes==

*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To the audience]:'''
**“''Ladies and Gentlemen. And [Actors] too.''”
**“Eat, speak, dine, and of course, enjoy. I only ask that you give me time to perform without having to compete.”
**“I am a [Fartraveller Bard], a [Bard of Stories]. I have been both. I have ''seen'' terrible tragedies, walked through war, and spoken with those who fought against legends, both monsters and men like the King of Destruction. I have performed for [Kings] and [Beggars] and been humbled by both former and latter. Tonight though, I think we have no time for such stories. Nor shall I compete with ''Elisial!''”
**“This young woman has done so much already. Already—''three cities and more'' are connected, across hundreds of miles thanks to her! Already, a [[Horns of Hammerad|team]] of adventurers reached Gold-rank for her help! I am speaking of course, of Erin Solstice. And to her, I shall play—”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]:'''
**“Miss Solstice, I apologize for my performance. It was a poor one and I took it too lightly. Another sign I have yet to master my craft.”
**“What you perceive about yourself is not what others see. But tell me, Miss Solstice. What makes you unworthy of the praise?”
** “Miss Solstice, we’ll certainly speak again. If only because your unusual ''[[Numbtongue|friend]]'' seems to want to inspect my lyre. How ever did you find a fellow student of the craft among Goblins?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]) “The ''[Emperor]?'' Certainly, Miss Griffin. We’ll talk, shall we? But I do need to get up on stage before Miss Emme hamstrings me—”
*'''[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/16/solstice-pt-1/ To the audience]:'''
**“''Ladies and gentlemen. Guests of the Unseen Empire. And visitors from however far they come. I am Barelle the Bard. And it is my duty, my honor, to open this day of festivities. This longest day. This—Summer Solstice.''”
**“This day belongs to you, dear guests. And whilst I invite you to all dine and make merry, there shall be great tales, performed by the Players of Celum. Wondrous sights, by the Skylights! Performances by masters and mistresses of their craft all. And I shall sing. Sing of battle against the Circle of Thorns. Tell the story of a [[Ryoka Griffin|brave Runner]]—”
**“—and of the [[Erin Solstice|[Innkeeper] of Liscor]].”
**“But this is not the time. At this moment, by your leave, Lords and Ladies, Emperor—''let this celebration begin!''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/12/20/solstice-pt-2/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]) “Once more, it is time for [Bards] to shape the stories they tell for the better.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/15/interlude-songs-and-stories/ To] [[Cognita]]) “It is worth living dangerously to find out how each story ends. And they should end ''right.'' Gloriously, tragically—but right. So they call me the Meddling Storyteller.”
