Bards are graduates of the Bards College in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim located in Solitude.

They can be found throughout Skyrim, typically playing in taverns. They play lutes, flutes, and drums, but also sing and will generally perform songs upon request.

Songs[]

The following is a list of songs that Bards will play upon request.

Trivia[]

  • In the main quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, asking any character about rumors might result in them saying "Have you heard the Fall of Dagon yet? Take heart the mighty hero cried, he looked up at Dagon, and cursed his foul name!" or "All the Bards are Busy Composing Songs about the Fall of Dagon." However, there is no option to ask any Bard to sing the Fall of Dagon at all in Skyrim.
  • If the Dragonborn asks a bard to play a song but engages in a conversation with them as they perform, they will stop.

Bugs[]

  • If a bard plays in a Hearthfire home, the background music does not pause and this causes the two audio tracks to play over each other.
