Happy Hour in Q4 2017 - Each Wednesday @ 8 PM NBT preparing for Fall at a Novian Pub near you

Happy Hour for Release 46, 47, and 48 - The autumn is upon us and the season of harvest has wet our whistle! Stryker will be traveling to one of Novian's finest pubs, inns and taverns each week for an hour to bankroll a bar tab for drinks in hopes of sharing stories, news, critique of the arts, music, dancing and otherwise unplanned mayhem each Wednesday at 8 PM (NBT/Central).

Summary of Release 46:

Spoiler: Events from Release 46

October 4 - Blue Rose Isle @ 8 PM NBT (Central US) - In the Bay of Storms is the splendor that is Blue Rose Isle. Home to Governess @WindSilvermoon and @Drake Aedus and their island is about honoring event planners. There are tales of hidden quests upon the isle, and a rumor of an ancient recipe about cheese and apples... We shall see you there Wednesday!

October 11 - Mynwent @ 8 PM NBT (Central US) - Just north of the path to Nightshade Pass, lays the town of Mynwent and within, the caretakers @Vooch and @Nighttempest (Twilight Tempest) have opened a house dedicated to a bit of history that occurred in Mynwent. We will gather at 8 PM for exploration of the property, and of course, a brew. A self-guided tour of the property begins at 49 minutes after the hour and the audio contents can be heard through an Aether Vibration Amplifier (portable is better) - The house is located on the island just behind the bridge as you enter Mynwent (out in the large lake).

October 18 - Serpent's Watch Inn @ 8 PM NBT (Central US) - Located slightly southwest of Brittany against the mountains, lays the town of Serpent's Watch. Thriving with business and home to the Aerist guild and under the watchful eye of Governor @Woftam , the town has an excellent FireLotus style tavern and inn to gather for the evening. Hope to see everyone there!

October 25 - Gluttony Tavern and Stables in Kahli @ 8 PM NBT (Central US) - Upon the isle of the Hidden Vale are the ruins and reconstruction areas of the ancient city of Kahli. Governor @Elgarion has agreed to allow us the use of the Gluttony Tavern and Stables to take in pleasantness of the lake and speak about its reconstruction efforts. The Tavern is located on the lower flat area in front of the lake. Town Boundary 1 teleport on the sign post is the closest entry point. [Note: Kahli is a PVP enabled Player-Owned Town, so traveling through it does put one at a certain amount of risk.]
