==Lore==
With a bow in hand and a quiver on his back, the archer strikes at the enemy from afar. In [[Eorzea]], two schools of archery have risen to prominence: that of the longbow sentries of the [[Elezen]] military, and that of the shortbow hunters among the [[Miqo'te]].

Archers constantly assess the battlefield in order to determine the most advantageous ground from which to loose their arrows, as well as the nature of the shaft, point, and fletching best suited to their foe. It is said that master archers are capable of showering their targets with a veritable deluge of death well before a counterattack can ever be mounted.[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game/armoury/war/archer]

==Lore==
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.[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game/jobs/bard]
