Erald Doom-Skald

Earld is a Nord bard that performs at the Fallen Anchor tavern in Broken Oar Grotto. Formerly a student at the Bard's College in Solitude, Erald was a promising student before being expelled for covorting with the Daedric Prince of Debaucery; Sanguine. When it was discovered that the budding bard had entered into a pact with the Daedric Prince that is the source of much of his musical talent and grants him the ability to magically charm his patrons into giving up their gold. Now he finds himself in more unsavoury quarters, encouraging the drunken antics of various lowlife's and brigands on behalf of his patron.   Quotes:
"Care to hear a song? It's my pleasure. Believe me."
"I left the Bard's College behind. I was too good for them. Couldn't dare have their mediocure 'talent' outmatched by the likes of me."
"By magical skill, honeyed word or venomed blade. I've yet to meet a foe I haven't bested. In musical talent, on the field of battle.. or beneath the sheets for that matter."
"The wonders of beauty, in the light of Dibella. Was all I cared for once upon a time. Since then I've discovered.. it's a lot more fun once the lights go out."
"I find greater pleasure in warm mead than I do warm blood, but test me and I suppose I'll have to make do."
He wears iron armour and boots, and is equipped with an Enchanted Greataxe Lute (+1 attack, +1 damage), a dwemer dagger (+2 damage). He carries two Fear Poison, and a selction of uncommon loot and gold.
