5The year is 360 AD. After 12 years of training at the Academy of Tara, Bryan the aspiring bard is finally given his first assignment: he is to play music for the inhabitants of the sleepy little fishing village of Oi, where nobody has heard music in decades. He looks forward to an easy life of [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Sex, Mead and Bardic Music]] where nothing could possibly upset his life of leisure-- only for that fantasy to be violently shaken from him the moment he steps foot in the village.

7!!Oi! Tales of Bardic Fury contains examples of:
8* ArrangedMarriage: Between Aideen and Bryan. None are too happy about it.
9* {{The Bard}}: The protagonist Bryan is a bard-- although his personality and mannerisms are more like a modern rock star than anything.
10* CuteMonsterGirl: Rhiannon counts as this in her selkie form.
11* {{Druid}}: Star Seal, Rhiannon and Aideen's father, is a druid and the leader of Oi.
12* FieryRedhead: Aideen has red hair and the temperament to match.
13* OhMyGods: The residents of Oi are quite fond of swearing by Lugh. Other deities, like Crom Cruach are also mentioned.
14* MagicMushroom: Star Seal is quite fond of using them, as is Servius to a lesser degree.
15* {{Oireland}}: The series takes place in a fictionalised version of Ireland in the Iron Age.
16* PropheciesRhymeAllTheTime: {{Averted}} and {{Discussed}}. Servius hears a prophecy from an apparition of his sister Artemesia which doesn't rhyme, which he is immediately skeptical of.
17--> '''Servius:''' Are you sure this is a real prophecy? It doesn't even rhyme.
18--> '''Artemesia:''' It doesn't have to rhyme to be true!
19* SelkiesAndWereseals: Oi was founded by a woman who was seduced by a male selkie, and her three selkie children. In the present, Star Seal's daughter Rhiannon is one.
