As far as Bards are concerned, there's this snip from the main site:
Quote:"The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions.
 In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death."
The Bards in question in XIV primarily originated in Gridania with the God's Quiver, if I'm not mistaken. A more seasoned bard will be able to help you out there. I don't really remember the quests, as I just did them to have them done.
Fortune telling in XIV exists, and seems to be something aligned with female Dunesfolk. It's definitely a thing in Ul'dah, though. We don't know much beyond that, however.
If anything needs any specific elaboration, I'd be more than happy to offer insight as needed beyond what's linked here.
Yeah we've run through a lot of the wikis you provided to get a bases on what might be allowed before writing, I am just being cautious as I don't want people shutting down the story because of it bending/breaking lore xD
A lot of what we need would be deeper lore than what is easily find-able, hence my asking.Â
Which with that said I probably shouldn't worry, but still. Better safe than sorry.
