"And war broke out in the heavens;
Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon.
And the dragon and his angels fought back;
But they were defeated,
And there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
The great dragon was thrown down,
That ancient serpent
Who is called the Devil and Satan,
The deciever of the whole world, he was thrown down
To earth, and his angels were thrown down with him
-Revelations 12: 7-9

Welcome to the Holy Wars

Bard
Keepers of ancient lore, bards travel the world seeking knowledge, adventure and perhaps even the odd gold coin. Mosty bards are excellent singers (although some make a living playing a whistle or the lyre, while others perform amazing feats of dexterity) who travel about in more or less carefeee manner. Although they are aware of the wars against the adversary (as it means there can often be excpetionally profitable trips to military encampments and that travel in certain areas is somewhat more dangerous) they do not see a place for themselves in it, but instead seek to record its passage.

Bards unequivocably aggravate clergy, fighters and paladins because of this attitude (though quite often the clergy appreciates the fact that bards are an effective means of aquiring news from other lands) while the general populace love them (because they are quite entertaining).
