	Speaking of fundraising, earlier this year, in our [[Elanthian Vogue: Lormesta 5119 \| Lormesta edition]], we published an article about charitable giving and, in particular, mentioned a certain philanthropist by the name of [[Maylan]]. Since then, Maylan has gained considerable fame by entering ~~into~~ the political arena and one of our more intrepid reporters was able to track her down to find out more about the lifestyle of those less fortunate.

	Feeling suitably chastised, I downed yet another whiskey, conscious of both Maylan's slack-jawed grin and a similar amused expression on the face of the aforementioned barmaid. Attempting to shake of the fuzziness now clouding my vision, I retrieved my chewed quill from the chinchilla again and turned to a more serious subject - the one I was actually being paid to write about - that of her philanthropic efforts.

			Having enjoyed an evening in a local bar with the loquacious Land Pirate (and suffering the consequences for days after), our thoughts turned to where people like to hang out and the reasons why. A poll of Elanthians revealed some rather salubrious locations with questionable drinking habits but in the spirit (pun intended) of being an informative publication, we thought we would share the results!
	To follow

			A clear favorite seems to be Plur’s Pub in the [[Moonshine Manor]] with several endorsements from citizens of [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. One resident, in particular, by the name of [[Darcena]] took time out to tell our Landing pollster a little more.

			<pre{{log2}}><div style="text-align: center;">"Plur's Pub, of course. There's spit on the pub floor, diapers in the fishing pond, and an overwhelmingly stinky dwarf helps run it but the tankard of murky black stout is thick and refreshing. My favorite bartender, Jahkot, tells the funniest stories about the frequent patrons. The elven maidens seem to come and go, but there's one I like chatting with. Her favorite thing is to dance in the ballroom. Oh, and there's this spider that likes to come out from behind the dartboard and waggle her legs at me. Her name is Claudette."</div></pre>

			The [[Krawling Kraken Bar]] is also alleged to be a superior drinking establishment but no one would elaborate and our [[Solhaven]] pollster was reluctant to venture that far south into the freeport for some reason.

			Solhaven was a popular choice overall for bars though, with the [[Tentacled Tavern]] and [[Spirits of the Delta]] being named several times. The absinthe, Cinder Wasp mead, and exotic sandfire liquor all come highly recommended. When not admiring the freeport bartenders, a rather elegant lady by the name of [[Ysharra Nagorn \| Ysharra]] also added that she liked to frequent the Stone Baths in the Landing, being rather fond of their pomegranate liquor and icewine.

"Deliciously" racist against elves, it has a reputation of kicking people out before they've even had a chance to order but oddly enough, that makes it a popular choice of venue for Melivn, who kindly spoke to another of our pollsters.

			Outside of drinking establishments, another elf – who wished to remain anonymous - went as far as to say:

			<pre{{log2}}><div style="text-align: center;">"There is this amazing wine from an old Illistim vineyard that is impossible to get. There is a late 4900s vintage that I would murder for a bottle."</div></pre>

			Seems some will go to any lengths to enjoy their favorite tipple.
