Prologue

From afar you might think this building is a ruined temple of some old forgotten god. But the closer you come, the more it sprouts with life. The shattered windows grow whole, the trees by the outer wall become a little garden, the destroyed tower restores itself like a mirage.

And then you will remember the gag many people were sharing, that in the hills of Amperland, on a rocky little mount, stands a school, The School of Tieflings...

This story tells about the life of a teen street bard called Tief Bardling, who got an invitation to the mysterious school he never heard about.
