River Muagh Fishing Frenzy

Plenty of fish in the sea. But we're fishing in a river so there's even more to catch! That's how it works, right?

Catch a fish and cook it right there on the dock! If you catch something you really like, the organizer can turn your catch into a stickpin that squirts water!

Location: River Muagh, Bric-a-brac Dock (a narrow stone-lined path)

Fishing gear is available at Borthuum Bargain Bait (an oilcloth-covered makeshift wooden stand).

Bring Your Own Brew

Bring what you make or share some of your favorite ale from afar.

Borthuum Clan enjoys a good, hearty tasting ale. What you put in is what you get out!

Ragnak Clan prefers a full experience over just taste. What can you do to enhance the flavor?
