While journeying about the land of Avalon, you should make a point of visiting some of the famous taverns and inns which break up the travels of many a thirsty individual. Mercinae boasts the Moon Inn, and the Slumbering Serpent Tavern, Parrius has The Seagull Inn, while Thakria plays host to Perambule's Tavern in the Old Quarter and the Fugitive's Rest. Perhaps some may recall the significance of the "Drunken Goose" tavern in writings influential on the early years of Avalon's creation.
In the villages you will find the Silver Hind Tavern of Ariadne and the Land's Edge Tavern in Astrea's Delta of great interest. The barman in the inn of Eastpoint is renowned for his lively sense of humour and witty badinage, while the taverns of Greeny's Edge flow to the ale of Argemis, their local brewer.
The tavern is and ever shall be a gathering place for denizens and citizens of all types and you have adventured enough in your lifetime to have developed a keen sense for the whereabouts of these most useful (and often life changing) centres of relaxation and gossip. See HELP GRAPEVINE to learn about things you might be able to hear on the grapevine - gossip, info, how to counter some affliction, latest movement of legions by an enemy city, etc.
Type TAVERNS as you stand in a location not sundered from the land and you will see a list, partly from memory, partly from uncanny perception, of almost all the public taverns, inns and drinking dens on the "beaten path" on the continent. The list will highlight taverns in your local area and let you know rough direction of each - from your location and vis-a-vis the "Meeting Place".
