You can check each one out for yourself!We present you with a fragment of a world map marked with mysterious rumors. You can send your group of adventurers to each of them to discover what lies behind the stories of the guests.By embarking on such expeditions, you will obtain various items, valuable resources, and sometimes even unique ingredients that you can later use in the tavern. Every decision can bring new opportunities… or another story to tell over a mug of beer. Come spread rumors over a pint of beer on our Discord server.See you till the next one!
