Skald

Skalds were, largely, the Nordic counterparts to the Celtic Bards. The Title of Skald is still in use within the Althing League to this day. Elements of the Theater of the Arts native to Northern Europe have also adapted this Title as a kind of warrior-poet who oversees security for their Chapter. 
== Facts: ==
-Historically, Skalds would study lore, learn poetry and practice music. They were the entertainers as well as traboudours and lore-keepers among their own people.
-In modern times, the Skald has been adopted by the Writer's League who have emphasized the martial nature of the Skalds who now serve as the protectors of the Chapter and serve its interests. To the League, the Skald is the epitome of the ancient trope of the Warrior-Poet. 
-The original Skaldic tradition is still practiced by the Northmen Chapter who make it a habit to study the ancient writings and poetry of their ancestors.
