The Gabbadan Tavern

Community Forum & More

The Gabbadan Tavern is one of the most popular destinations in Palannia. With entries located in each of the four capital cities — Brencaster, Croaghal, Mynn, and Truehaven — it’s a single gathering place unto itself, a kind of magical crossroads. The tavern’s master of ceremonies is a mysterious, self-proclaimed draoi known as the Geabadán Mór.

There are many rooms and passages inside the tavern. Some are open, others locked. Some even lead to worlds beyond Palannia. Powerful wayfinders hold the keys to those pathways, enabling them to travel freely, or serve as guides to others.
