Curt the Bard is a roguish storyteller, musician, and survivor who brings wit, charm, and hard-earned wisdom to Bêlit & Valeria: Sword and Sorcery. Unlike warriors who rely on steel alone, Curt survives through clever words, sharp instincts, and an ability to read danger before it strikes. His presence adds humor, perspective, and moral tension to a savage sword-and-sorcery landscape defined by bloodshed and ambition.
