Feast of Eluned

by Callandor Al'Forester

"Ello Baresh, heard this was a nice place to get a good drink. I'll take a mug of elven cider please."

Callandor gets his mug of cider and sips it patiently, he sighs and then begins to speak again.

"I guess you've heard about that Feast of Eluned already, but I'm here to tell ye what I think 'bout the whole thing."

"Me being a forest elf and all, You wouldn't think that I would like going to a floating isle in the middle of the ocean, but my curiosity is great and I've been wondering about this whole thing. Now I know I would definately like to join in this festival, even though its honoring Eluned (of all the gods), but alas I don't have the coins, myself being only a poor forester, and my family not much better."

"I definately do not think this festival should be only for the ones with the money. It should be open to everyone, not just the ones with the silver in their pockets."

Callandor guzzles down the rest of his cider, peering down into the empty bottom.

"Well, I thats my opinion about the subject, I need to get back to my forest now."

Callandor tosses some tarnished bronze coins on the table, mumbling about the price of a drink these days.

"Good to see ye Baresh"

The forest elf pulls up the hood of his longcoat and strides out of the inn, closing the door behind him.

Baresh peers out the window of the inn and notices a figure climbing up a nearby tree. "Them crazy forest elves" He mutters and goes back to cleaning his cups.

They're talking about this in discussions.

Baresh will listen to your well-presented viewpoint on this, too.
