🎶 College of Playful Mockery

Children of the Dragon

Bards of the College of Playful Mockery are playful tricksters who prefer to taunt and mock their foes into submission rather then directly fight them. They are known for speaking uncomfortable truths, in a way that playfully mocks the target of their jokes. This way people can laugh about it and see the truth behind these taunts. They especially revel in targeting social stigmas set up by those that seek to control the way people speak, and through that the way people think. Their jokes cause people to laugh about these stigmas, which lessens their control over them. This ultimately results in a more open and free discussion on how to improve society.
The College of Playful Mockery was set up by an ancient copper dragon, who at first merely sought to teach others his skill at playing tricks on people. However, over time he began to understand the importance of unrestricted humor in mortal society, and how laughter can be used as a tool for the greater good. Even if their jokes walk the fine line between being mean and being playful, calling out the uncomfortable truths in the world has done far more good than harm. As such they will never allow their voice to be silenced or restricted, nor the voices of others.
