From the introduction: Weirgarde is a quiet and unassuming town, a cozy refuge for skilled craftsmen and welcoming folk of all walks of life. Once a year, near autumn’s end, it hosts the marvelous Beermarket, a festival of drink, feasts, contests, and much rejoicing. Many a tale has started in these snow-covered lands, and even the most famed of adventurers can often remember their humble beginnings – winning a contest of bluffing with their friends, amidst the applause of the townsfolk, the cracking of the great bonfire, and the smell of fine dwarven beer.
