Freevale: Our motto is, "Speak softly and then start screaming for no reason, then hit the guy in front of you with a rock while he's confused!"
Disclaimer: That's not our motto. 50% of what Kobold Cleaver says is a lie, and the rest is just stupid shit he thinks is funny.
Stop with all that crazy elf math! Hell, if I'd've wanted schoolin' I'd've gone to school!
Above all, Grickin's a free spirit. Grickin does have terrifying episodes where the one thing in the warrior's head is killing someone, and does have very bloody hands, and is a druid, but there's only one real goal for Grickin: Get what I want.
Grickin's a big fan of trade, as well as of diplomacy and tactics. Where else can we sell what we just looted from that Pharasman graveyard?
What am I doing? This ain't the Grickin Show, this is the Freevale Show: Every night at 8:00 pm! We—
Shit, Kitsune is scrambling our episodes! Hey, dude, cut that out! What kind of depraved mind airs the pilot last?!
Hey, you Commoner!
"Me?"
Sick of constantly losing your rocks?
"Yes!"
Hi, I'm Kobby Cleavezobby, and what you need is the Robber Stopper Barbarian Bundle!
"I can sit safely on my rock pile all day!"
I know what you're thinking—does it work for wagons? Haha yeah it does work for wagons, stupid! Carry your rocks in wagons all over the world! IT WORKS FOR WAAAAGOOONS

I'm not certain "chaotic" is the first alignment most traders look for in their trading hubs, but if you see it as advantageous, who am I to argue.
Have you ever been to an open air market where haggling is a common practice?
Ever go to a mall on the morning of Black Friday?
How about the floor of the Stock Exchange?
Perhaps all of these are somewhat organized getting set up, but definitely chaotic when they get busy.

Lovely promises. But then some Chaotics don't keep promises. Too challenging to their ME FIRST ethos.

How are promise breakers treated in River Kingdoms?

How are promise breakers treated in River Kingdoms?
The River Freedoms say nothing about keeping promises. They say that Oath Breakers will be punished.
1prom·ise noun \ˈprä-məs\
: a statement telling someone that you will definitely do something or that something will definitely happen in the future.
oath noun \ˈōth\
: a formal and serious promise to tell the truth or to do something.
So the questions are: How formal was the promise? How serious was the promise?
Then there is the question of what, if any, actions could void the promise?
Bludd, all you're doing with those questions is asking the involved parties to talk about their different perspectives. Each group will have different answers. And because those answers are different, the groups have split. The end. No need for a whole thread on semantics because of what was most likely a rhetorical question posted out of spite :D

But semantics do matter, because the choice of words used matters. So the differences between formal and informal, and promise and an oath matter.
My question is, what is the interest of Lam of Tavernhold, in this matter?
I'm guessing Tavernhold will be receiving the former Freevalers into their ranks. This of course makes sense since Tavernhold is the only other Chaotic settlement that would have them.
I wish all parties concerned luck with their new situations.
Freevale thinks it's so tough with its new oligarchical system. Well, oligarchies are basically meritocracies, right? Let's test merits the old-school way!

Am I the only one waiting for those batlle contest for leadership?
In Tavernhold, first they have to drink. I respect that. I'm wondering if they are going to be forced to take a vote on it? Then even if they get a majority to agree to drink, then they will have to vote on what to drink. Even if there is a decision on that, there will be a three day delay. During the three day delay an amendment will be added, and a committee will have to be enpaneled to address the amendment. The committee will spend the next few days not just discussing the amendment, but the original decision. After about 10 days, the original decision that was approved by the majority will be approved.
Enjoy that democracy!

Nor do we feel we need to decide what others drink. Tavernhold is meant to be a free environment.
Yes we have our WotT autocrat. That does not mean he tells us what to drink. Or where to venture.
Our companies plan destinations, but attendance is not mandatory, just more fun in groups.
Bonny, would grace us and Adventure with Tavernhold come October? (That is not a formal request because I do not have that right, but I believe Virgil would be pleased by your attendance.)
