A Gratuitous Goodbye

The Heart of the Raven opened it's doors in 2017, beginning as a small tavern in Tol Barad, Rustberg Village, but over time began to grow. Began to branch out, drawing in patrons from all across Azeroth, and eventually, building a village, a new life on this seaside island town. As the island grew, so did the tavern, rebranding itself as you all know now -- Blackbird Brewery.

We let ourselves flourish, and atop hosting weekly tavern events we started a nightclub, a market, and a catering business. We got involved with the community, made connections, friendships, business partners, and much more, and every step of the way we had you all beside us, from those who worked alongside and those who became regular faces to see.

Our hearts are heavy, and we've loved every minute of being involved with this community of roleplayers, but it's time for us to step back, and take a break. Blackbird Brewery, as a guild, is retiring for now, but as a staple of the roleplay community the tavern doors are always open, as our founder Vynix never truly plans to let the village slip away and will be behind the scenes for the Blackbird Brewery to stay as a proxy location if any wish to use it as such.

Now, this is where we ask you to help us with our final send-off, for us to close up with sharing our gratitude. We are going to host one, final event on January 16th (Sunday), where we are inviting everyone who has supported us over the years to come by and enjoy the fruits of our labor. We will have live music, open bars, food, vendors and giveaways. We will have giveaways from in-game items to out of game art pieces provided by us and those in our guild, but we are also reaching out to anyone who may wish to participate and also add to our pool of prizes. All of these giveaways are to you, the community, to show our thanks for the years of support and enjoyment you've given us.

We're still ironing out all the details of this final send off, but more is soon to come, so keep an eye out on our tumblr, twitter, and discord. If you have any questions, or wish to be a helping participant, you can contact our guild master, VynixNostra#7777 on discord. And once again, thank you. We love and appreciate you all for these glorious years of roleplay and allowing us to be a name in the event community.

A bittersweet but oh-so-beautiful event upcoming!

[blackbirdbrewery]

It’s time to buckle up, get on those dancing boots, and practice your countryisms as a night of tunes filled with southern drawls and heartfelt love stories is on the horizon. Our very own Jinx is stirring up a mix of country music for this months Maelstrom, and he surely expects you all to dress your best and get on the dancefloor to move in lines and squares. So grab a partner, have a few drinks, and get on out there for a night of letting loose. 

This months Maelstrom nightclub’s theme is country! We encourage you all to come dressed ready for a hoedown, so get those cowboy hat mogs and plaid shirts ready. 

Maelstrom is located in Rustberg Village, Tol Barad, within the Grand Hall directly beside our tavern; and it will be open this month on Friday September 3rd from 7pm until 9pm WRA. The club is faction neutral, so bring a few elixir’s of tongues, and no fighting upon the premises!

Can I get a YeeeeEeEeeHaaAAAaaww?

The Rustberg Market!

Without the scorching heat above wilting away our flowers and melting waxes, the market is able to bring forth new and always delectable goods for the last market of summer. Our vendors have been working hard to gather their stock to present from floral arrangements to tasty ale, healing salves, fresh eats, and more to entice your pocket change. If you're looking for well crafted goods made by loving hands, look no further as the Rustberg Market is never short on creative individuals taking pride in their work. The market is located on TOL BARAD, and there is a map for our precise location. The market will be open on SUNDAY, AUGUST 29th, from 6PM - 8PM (WRA). This event is faction neutral, so be sure to bring with you a few elixirs! While we have our vendors, we also have security on stand by, so please respect everyone involved and enjoy the atmosphere and hard work put into the project. Please do not haggle or complain to our various vendors about their prices, as they are up to what the vendor feels is fair for their goods. ((And vary by server, it seems!)) The Rustberg Market is planned to be open every final Sunday of each month, so keep an eye out for upcoming themes and goods!

Slowly but surely the overwhelming heat of summer is beginning to dwindle, and once again the Rustberg Market is returning under the cool, to-be autumn breeze. An array of vendors will be ever present, with goods from sweet smelling incense to cheek-warming wines awaiting to be purchased. Come by to support local artisans and enjoy the evening seabreeze settling over our seaside village. 

The market is located on TOL BARAD, and there is a map below for our precise location. The market will be open on SUNDAY, JULY 25th, from 6PM - 8PM (WRA). This event is faction neutral, so be sure to bring with you a few elixirs!

Summer heat, cold drinks and amazing service!

[vynixnostra]

The Monday crew looking fab tonight!

[blackbirdbrewery]

With clear skies and warm nights finally returning to us, we would love nothing more than to settle beneath them with a refreshing drink and a filling meal to share among company. So of course, we have to take advantage of such and do just that; inviting our patrons along with us. For our tavern night, we’ll be picking up the bar and bringing it outside and out back with a starry themed menu sure to bring some wishing luck for the remainder of our year. 

Blackbird Brewery is located in Rustberg Village, Tol Barad, where we host monthly tavern events open to both Horde and Alliance alike! We are faction neutral and utilize both elixirs of tongues and the roleplay add-on cross-rp for seamless roleplay. For this months themed night, we will be out back BEHIND the tavern and under the stars! So if you come in and see an empty building, you’ll find us out back! 

We will be open on Monday, May 24th, from 6:30pm - 8:30pm WRA server time. Though once hours are over, we switch over to NPC bartenders, so you are free to stay as long as you’d like to enjoy the atmosphere and roleplay!

[vynixnostra]

Monday!

[blackbirdbrewery]

It’s that time of the month again where the Maelstrom Nightclub opens its doors and offers you a new experience of music each and every month. Let the synthetic electronic sound draw you in, bringing you to center stage of our dancefloor to shake out the stress of the week and let loose; guided by the multitude of colorful lights and flares, and of course, the synthwave playlist curated by our DJ Caythaes. 

The flow of music is sure to get you moving, and if that isn’t enough, we have electric drinks to keep you hydrated as served by our bartenders. 

Maelstrom Nightclub is a faction neutral club, so elixir’s of tongues are encouraged, and that also means no violence on the floor or our security will be forced to toss you out.

Maelstrom is located in Rustberg Village, Tol Barad, within the Grand Hall directly beside our tavern; and it will be open this month on Friday may 7th from 7pm until 9pm WRA.

FRIDAY

[blackbirdbrewery]

Our grand opening of the Rustberg Market is upon us! This has been a project in wait for quite sometime, and we are thrilled to finally unveil it and invite you all to see a new sight in our village of brand new market stalls and local vendors all taking pride in their crafts. 

This is our first day of opening, and thus, things perhaps may change here and there down the line, but above is our current location along with each vendor he have lined up for the month of April! As always, we are factional neutral and encourage Horde and Alliance alike to come and browse; so don’t forget your elixir’s of tongues! 

The grand opening of the Rustberg Market will be SUNDAY, APRIL 25TH! (Tomorrow!). The market will be open from 6pm - 8pm WRA server time. Located in Tol Barad, our above map will help you find location!

While we have our vendors, we also have security on stand by, so please respect everyone involved and enjoy the atmosphere and hard work put into the project. The Rustberg Market is planned to be open every final Sunday of each month, so keep an eye out for upcoming themes and goods!

[blackbirdbrewery]

The upcoming Rustberg Market has been a team effort between our coordinators; both the guild master of Blackbird Brewery, along with the guild master of The Cast Co, who’s members just as our own have been a huge boon and will be featured at the market! For an insider look, here is a small interview conducted with our two coordinators.

What are  you excited for with the market? Dyllie answers, “Well the market of course and meeting new people or old people, well not there age, cause you never ask that but like faces you have already seen. I love markets you meet so many people, and you get to find out what people like based off what they are buying, so if you ever see them in the street you would be like thats so and so and they like pineapples and you bring them a can of pineapples!”

What are you bringing to the table with this particular reoccurring market? Vynix responds, smiling. “The goal is to return to our roots, so to speak, and bring that idyllic farm fresh attitude to it. We will always feature seasonal goods and services that coincide with the time of year. Lots of small businesses who work hard, not for fame or attention, but to make a living. We really want those to shine, and we think they shall!”

How did you two meet? Dyllie answers, “How did I meet Vyn here? Like I said before its all about the markets, a tight knit society is there, you go  and meet loads of folks and you go to the next market and the next and you just get to know all the different faces over time, and that’s how I got to know Vyn a lot better, and they also are a really good musician. They got me to boogie!”

Anything we should know, coming out for the first time? Vynix chuckles warmly. “The island is neutral ground, so please come and shop with that in mind. We welcome everyone out to browse, eat, drink and have a lovely time. Oh, and if you happen to be passing through our forests…please don’t disturb the spiders. They are under our protection. Their silk is harvested in exchange for their safety. So stick to the roads! We look forward to seeing you very soon!”

Come on out Sunday!! 💜

[blackbirdbrewery]

Rustberg village has been abuzz with the sounds of construction, and our local carpenters, timber workers, and designers have been a huge boon to our little walk of life to complete a project we’ve long since awaited to unveil. Among the ridge of the village our residents are able to see the now completed market stalls, each one awaiting for their upcoming sellers; plenty of room upon them for wares of all sorts to be displayed and sold.

As the weather warms and the sun rises over Tol Barad we’re beyond excited to have finished construction and sought out local sellers awaiting for their debut. As the last coats of paint and polish are added, we can confirm that our new market will be on full display on Sunday, April 25th! 

Keep an eye out this week as we follow up with more information, words from our coordinators, and sneak-peeks at what items are going to be sold by our array of talented craftsmen, farmers, chefs, and many more!

(( Usually I don’t post this kind of drama - but HOLY SHIT. If you feel like you -have- to know the gender of someone behind the screen before engaging in pixel sex...please just choose not to RP. Some of the most poignant roleplay I’ve had with male toons has been written by women. But no one OWES you anything besides honesty regarding character communication. I will be avoiding this person at all costs. Bless those officers because good god. Y’all deserve better. You really did try. ))
