The Bards are one of the Major Holdless Trading Bands that travel the length and breadth of the northern continent and losely call the Igen Holdless Caverns home base. Most of these groups, both large and small, are decendants of the original disaffected that were brought to Pern with the orginial colonists. One of our Greenriders just happens to be related so they show up from time to time.
