The Name of The Wind
(Orbit)A legendary bardic tale, Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name of the Wind is the story of not just any bard, but the greatest bard to ever tune a lute. In a middle of nowhere fantasy town there is a nondescript inn, managed by an unassuming man named Kote – whose sparkling eyes betray more charisma points than any normal middle manager would have spec’d into their character stats. Kote was actually once Kvothe, a renowned sword fighter, seducer, and musician – rumored to have once killed a king. Using the power of magic based around the “true names” of things, Kvote is able to charm the very powers of nature to fight by his side. He’s a level 20 bard hiding in an NPC’s disguise, a deception he might not be able to maintain for very much longer – despite his obscene advantage on charisma checks.
