This Friday (19 August 2022) at 11:30 PM EST in the Smoking Room of Cut and Dried (#23763) in Bloodriven Village at Duskruin, we will host our sixth guest in our monthly series in Ta’Vaalor’s “Informal Fireside Forums in and around the Fortress.”

This month, in honor of our half-year mark and since everyone has settled into Bloodriven Village for the next few weeks, we are flipping the script and bringing Ta’Vaalor to YOU!

Squire Legionnaire Agathilea Rassine Vaalor will come speak on the East, the Nations, House Vaalor, her time in the Legion, and her recent adventures throughout the lands. Come ask those pressing questions you always wanted to know about about those strange martial eastern elves, such as: Why are they always cutting down trees? Is that Vaalor Gold cheese really any good? Why are Vaalor elves always so ill-at-ease around the foreign folks? How’s the King in person? Do they sleep in your armor? Do they ever stop thinking about Taki Rassien? And many more!

There will be ample time for audience Q&A!

Background:

Every month I invite a special guest speaker to a rotating location in Ta’Vaalor to help educate Ta’Vaalor dwellers on the current political, economic, cultural, and historical trends of another place beyond the walls of the Fortress. For the last two years, I’ve brought Ta’Vaalor to the world, but now I hope to bring the world to Ta’Vaalor to help teach eastern folk what’s out there and to help us better understand the realms beyond our domain. Kegs will still be present, and we will generally be in a bar, so the discussions—while structured—will be like a good bar chat on a heady topic.

These events are open to Legion and non-Legion alike and will focus on many topics from across the world, from how global events relate to fortress politics to whatever topics our speakers care to elucidate and illuminate us with. Future months will bring guests from other parts of the realm, as long as they can stay awake late. :-P

And no worries, Saturday events will continue as always. There will be no pause to drunken chaos, Cheap Seats will keep on keep’n on for the entirety of Duskruin.
