Olaf the Bard is a travelling bard and member of the Fremennik Council of Elders. His vote is required for the completion of The Fremennik Trials. The player is required to make a Lyre from the branch of a Swaying tree and string it using Golden fleece. The bard then tells the player to play in the Rellekka Longhall Bar. After doing so, he will pledge his vote and teach the player how to turn the lyre into an Enchanted lyre. He can be found wandering just east of the long hall.

Players who have unlocked all non-holiday music tracks can buy a Music cape from Olaf the Bard at the cost of 99,000 coins. In order to trim the music cape, players are required to unlock all music tracks, including holiday event tracks as well as completion of all achievement diaries and quests.

When spoken to with a basilisk jaw in the player's inventory, he will tell a tale about the basilisks. After this, the player will be able to create Neitiznot faceguards.

Stock

Note: If a player has unlocked all music tracks (including holiday tracks), completed every achievement diary, and completed every quest they will receive the trimmed variant of the cape instead.
