GENERAL

• Bartenders in Norrath’s major cities will once more sell alcoholic beverages to level 90 adventurers, having been persuaded that all rumors of unfortunate high-level drunken raiding incidents are in fact vile slander and in no way explain why Roehn Theer remains undefeated. The bartenders of Norrath encourage the responsible use of alcohol in moderation. This message was not sponsored by Roehn Theer.
