# The Bardic Circle An influential [[The Rose of Igoda/08 - Locations/Berran|Berran]] faction of performers and social favourites operating among nobles and ambassadors. [[The Rose of Igoda/07 - Characters/07b - Non-Player Characters/Wilhelm Yen|Wilhelm Yen]] kept [[The Rose of Igoda/07 - Characters/07b - Non-Player Characters/Rose|Rose]] beneath its mansion. The [[The Rose of Igoda/08 - Locations/Berran|Berran]] property was later boarded up after the [[The Rose of Igoda/07 - Characters/07b - Non-Player Characters/Ambassador of Elaris|Ambassador of Elaris]] publicly condemned the Circle. ## Recorded sessions [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 01 - The Child in the Cage|Session 01]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 02 - Thornhollow|Session 02]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 03 - Beneath Hy-Soran|Session 03]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 04 - Return to Berran|Session 04]] · [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 05 - The Harpers and the Thieves|Session 05]] ## Session record ### [[The Rose of Igoda/13 - Session Notes/Session 06 - The Race Through the Mansion|Session 06]] The boarded-up [[The Rose of Igoda/08 - Locations/Bardic Circle Mansion|Bardic Circle Mansion]] proves heavily defended after the scandal. The grounds are guarded and laced with tripwires, the windows are sealed with metal plates, and the interior contains floating arcane eyes, puzzle rooms, magical traps, broken mezzanine routes, and hidden chambers. A second illusory wall behind [[The Rose of Igoda/08 - Locations/Rose's Cell|Rose’s Cell]] hides [[The Rose of Igoda/08 - Locations/The Hidden Study|a small study]] containing an emblem and concealed papers, suggesting the Bardic Circle kept records or private material connected to Rose close to the place where she was imprisoned.
