[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2229082, member: 4134"] The newer versions of the Guide also have the following information The most peculiar function of taverns is that they spawn adventuring groups. Every adventurer feels the urge to visit a certain tavern, team up with people they have never seen before (and would never work or even talk with in normal circumstances, except maybe in THE BAR FIGHT mentioned above, and then only in short sentences like "have at thee, you dastarde!") and then go on a mission that they received by another patron of said watering hole that is of even more sinister and untrustworthy nature. Sages have come to the conclusion that this must be something anchored deep down into the core of every species in the universe, and are sure that no other than the Overpower Itself has put it there. The tavern with the record of most adventuring parties spawned is a peculiar location called "Ye Olde Glass of Ale Shoppe" which has spewed forth several millions of adventuring parties of the oddest compositions (paladins working together with thieves, renegade drow rangers working with champions of the elven gods, dwarves working together with anyone else). Noone can agree on the exact location of this tavern and most sages speculate that it exists in many places at once, or maybe nowhere at all. (The truth, of course, is that both speculations are correct). [/QUOTE]
