This Friday (16 September) at 11:30 PM EST Zelia's Shrine in the Lunule Weald near Ta’Vaalor (rn 10596), we will host our seventh guest in our monthly series in Ta’Vaalor’s “Informal Fireside Forums in and around the Fortress.”

This month brings the mysterious Obelin of River’s Rest, who will delve into what makes the people of River’s Rest tick (gnomish gearwork explosive devices? maybe!), his enigmatic existence (how many of you are there?), and his passion for beast of the spirit (are they the key to Despana’s second rise? perhaps!). What we learn will forever color our perspectives on that perplexing town.

This will be a fun one not to miss, and 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 and a half 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 deep bar chat.

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.
