Leveling Eloquence?

[Miss Brain Problems]

This is probably going to be a really simple, dumb question, but how do you level eloquence past 5? The three other stats seem to be able to be able to be leveled past 5 simply by training with the appropriate master (Knight, Wizard, Thief) but I've tried all kinds of different things and can't seem to understand how to level eloquence past 5, which is the initial starting stat for a bard. How do I go about doing so?

There are only two things I know of that can increase your Eloquence above 5 save for temporary morale bonuses:

When you complete the court wizard's main mission:
You will have the opportunity to get rewarded with either gold or a magic ring. Pick one of the magic rings, and then choose Ring of the Envoy.

When you have to choose which plan will save Kendrickstone:
Choose the Duke's plan and you will be given a cape that increases Eloquence.

Note that both of these occur later on in the game. There will be times when a 5 in Eloquence isn't enough for some of the tasks you have to complete before the opportunities to increase Eloquence occur. As a result, you will need to make use of morale bonuses if you go down the Bard route.
