Anstruth

The College of Anstruth was a traditional bardic college in Sundabar.

Base of Operations
Even centuries after Anstruth's closure, the city of Sundabar remained famous for the quality of its musical instruments.

History
The College of Anstruth was one of the seven elder bardic colleges, dating back to the legendary bard Falataer who established it as the penultimate level of his bardic college. It had been created by Falataer to test and reward his students who achieved mastery of the Anstruth level of skill. The Anstruth harp, one of the Instruments of the Bards, was named after this college. Following this tradition, bards studying to obtain the rank of Magna Alumnae attended all seven colleges, with Anstruth being the sixth, after Cli and before Ollamh. However, this practice was abandoned once the original colleges declined. The College of Anstruth ceased its operations sometime after.

As of the, the only remaining structure from the original college was a concert hall that had been converted into a warehouse.
