History
While stories have been around as long as speech, the college was founded in 515 in the Age of Knowledge. It was originally formed in Hyrend, the largest city and capital of Ardeste. At first, it was little more than a guild for like-minded Elven bards to collaborate and critique each others' work. After a few hundred years, their purpose became more grandiose and expanded operations to instruction of writing in many forms: stories, plays, and songs. A formal campus was set up for the Songweavers in Hyrend in 1201 of the Age of Knowledge. In 1795, a second campus was built in Delemri.
In its nearly 4,000 years of operation, the college has held in its ranks countless talented performers. For much of this time, these were Elves and Half-elves, but there have been many humans, and halflings. Rarer still are the Dwarf minstrels, but there have been some on record.
