PLEASE NOTE: None of us are the lore-police. You are most certainly welcome to have fun in the way you see fit.However, we politely request that you maintain a level of self-awareness whilst role-playing in this venue. In The Lavish Brew, we encourage

What Type of Venue is "The Lavish Brew"?
The Lavish Brew is a semi-traditional Ishgardian tea shop located in the city, itself!
While it's in-game location is currently in the Empyreum, its actual IC location is in the backroads of the Pillars. It's just a short stroll from the Jeweled Crozier.The shop itself is over thirty years old. While it slowly grew to become a successful business, it was unfortunately forced to close its doors following the Calamity. Recently, it has gained a new owner and has opened to the public once more after a long period of repairs and renovations. Lady Lissette, the current owner and niece of the original founder, would love to tell you more of The Lavish Brew's history should the topic be brought up.

What Would Be Some Reasons for my Character to Visit?
• If your character is Ishgardian or has visited Ishgard at some point within the last thirty years, perhaps they may have been a visitor in the past! Or at the very least, they have heard of or seen the shop in passing once before.• Is your character currently touring through Ishgard? Perhaps they would be on the lookout for local eateries! Or simply in search of respite from the cold.• A daily free cup of tea and pastry for those currently in service to Ishgard!• Hot food and beverages affordable to even those of lower income.• There is a small advertisement posted on a bulletin board in the Jeweled Crozier and outside of the Forgotten Knight. Easy to miss, but still able to be spotted if one looks hard enough.

Where are the Prices?
To give a short, straightforward answer: Many people have different ways of interpreting the value of gil in RP, so the decision was made to keep prices vague.With that said, if you require a generic price range for goods offered at The Lavish Brew, many items are affordable to those of lower incomes. Meanwhile, items from the main floor shop area may be a bit more pricy. It's down to what your character perceives to be within their budget!

Would The Lavish Brew like to Collaborate for an Event?
It depends! Are you, as an event host, capable of clear communication and keeping things at least somewhat organised? If so, we'll be more than happy to work with you! If not, then we must politely decline.

None of the Staff are Online. May I still RP Here?
Of course! Should no staff be online or available for RP, you are more than welcome to make use of the building for RP. NPCs (Housing vendors) will take our place while we're gone! All we ask is that you are mindful of our rules and don't make a mess of the place.

Is The Lavish Brew Currently Hiring any Player Staff?
We are not in need of additional player staff at this time, though we thank you for your interest!
