The Breegan Show:

You’ve encountered a wild Bard! Breegan is a character on a special quest: to find the world’s best story. Through playful gestures and whimsical movement, she explores the line between a legendary tale and a little white lie, and she needs your help to decide which is better. Join the Bard to see if you should sacrifice a great story for the exact truth (or if that’s even any fun).
