Heroes of the Western Flank 2019 Thank You


Rhiassa's mission in recognizing the Heroes of the Western Flank yearly at Feast of the Leviathan is to call attention to the fact that our community is wholly dependent on acts of service from one another. NPCing is one of the most basic and most important aspects of that service and no questing, a staple of our game, could possibly exist without those who come to events purely so that others can benefit from their time and labor. This is why we ask our patrons to fill out a Western Flank survey each year so that we can, in some small way, thank them for their efforts. We would like to recognize the following individuals for having served on the Western Flank throughout 2019 as indicated on the surveys they completed at Feast of the Leviathan XXII.

Why I Want to Go-Feast of Creathorne 2020

by Lani "Gwen" Jones

I’ve worked in the Feast of Creathorne Kitchen for almost as long as I can remember, and I wouldn’t miss this event for anything--and I don’t think you should either.

There are countless dishes that you can only get in Creathorne, including great game meat, plus dinner which includes a wide variety of meats and sides to tickle even the most discerning of pallets. Add that to specially made appetizers, desserts, and mini-main courses, and you can’t go wrong!

But we all know feasts aren’t made of food alone, which is why Sir Shean and the team have made sure to provide shops and entertainment galore. Vandoria will have fabulous wares, the Stacked Deck team will be hosting a poker tournament, the Creathorne Casino will be in full effect, and there will be combat tournaments and questing as well. If you’re the barding type, tell a story, sing a song, or be amazed by the talents of your peers.

Rhiassa Cub Care will be unveiling BattlePets, a brand new endeavor to bring in our next generation of adventurers into the fold! So young and old, hungry and fighty, gambly and spendy, come out to this event! I promise you’ll have a great time. If you’re looking for me, I’ll be in the kitchen with my pals, doing what I love most, making sure you have the food to keep you going through all the great stuff that Creathorne has planned for you.
