Wash Day at the River
Message:
Wash Day at the River
Women of Bree gather by the river ((on Tuesdays from 16:00-18:00 server
time)) to wash their clothing and talk amongst themselves...
Sometimes there is only a solitary maid, kneeling at the water's edge humming to herself, just out of sight from the gate guards. Sometimes, the women are many and the laughter carries down the stream. You may find them scrubbing, wiping their brow, others idle in the shade of the ash tree. Stray minstrels have had them up on the riverbank for a dance and a song. Now and then, a traveller will lead his horse down to drink, and find himself chatting for a while.
No doubt many courteous strangers come by with ill intent. For all the secrets of the land are whispered between the womenfolk.

OOC information
(( Exactly on the hour [server time 16:00 Tuesdays] those who have gathered on the High Stair
by the washbasins will walk together to the riverbank by the West Gate of Bree. The RP event is simply to wash clothing and
gossip, typically for the women of Bree, but you can aim to do whatever you like. All are welcome, and lore appropriate
behaviour is always favoured.
We walk to the dirt path leading to the riverside, on the north side of the footbridge. There are a number of stones not far off, for anyone wishing to keep more to themselves. If your character is at a low level, keep in mind the bears and boars nearby may attack you. :)
For now, these gatherings are unsupervised, open anyone to take the opportunity to meet others. A few more townsfolk events should be added soon, as additional times and places for Breeland characters to meet and possibly inspire new stories. ))
